(Anonymous) 2013-09-21 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)So when I read smut, I tend to avoid it. It's too close to my own experience and since my experience with sex has been basically universally bad, it diminishes the pleasure I tend to receive from het smut. That only increases significantly when I'm reading a story from the POV of a woman, even if I love the woman in question. About the only way I really enjoy het smut is if it's where a male has been magically turned into a woman and then there's a whole "OMG WHAT IS THIS" style freakout going on to go with the sensations. M/M porn though is separate enough from my experiences that my brain somehow is able to filter it as a fantasy and just get on with enjoying it.
Point being, there are A LOT of reasons why someone might like M/M, M/F, or F/F. Those reasons are entirely up to them and fuck you if you think you've got any special insight into someone else based on their preference in smut. My preference for M/M isn't because I've got issues with my own body (at least in the sense of not liking my body - I like by breasts and my cunt and the rest of myself thanks much) or because I'm misogynistic. Sometimes preference in smut is just preference in smut and you should STFU with the judging.

(Anonymous) 2013-09-22 03:45 am (UTC)(link)Yes, multiple times. My gyno basically shrugged and said that it just sometimes hurts for some women until they have a lot of sex and so I should just keep going. Only my sex drive is VERY low just in general and since it hurts, I've got an aversion, so it just doesn't really happen all that often. So it never stops hurting. So I never stop wanting to avoid it. Vicious cycle.

(Anonymous) 2013-09-22 05:23 am (UTC)(link)Again, this is a second-hand perspective, but if it's something that's important to you, you don't have to take "Welp, nothing we can do" for an answer. If you haven't already, maybe start by finding some online blogs and support networks, talk to other women who've been where you are.

(Anonymous) 2013-09-22 07:53 am (UTC)(link)I feel like there's a decent chance that your issue is vaginismus, in which case this might be useful for you: http://www.vaginismus.com/vaginismus-treatment
Seriously, you start with like, a q-tip or a finger, and then graduated vaginal dilators. Going straight to something penis-sized can be uncomfortable even for women with[i]out[/i] vaginismus, plus the emotional stuff all tied up with sex, and just... [i]augh![/i] Suggesting that a woman experiencing painful sex just keep at it is so freaking STUPID and potentially emotionally (or even physically) harmful! Why would anyone even want to do a lot of something painful!

Your gyno sounds like he's talking out of his arse, that advice is ridiculous
