It may feel a bit uncomfortable or slightly painful due to the hymen stretching and muscle tension, but it should not be severely painful.
To prepare:
– Take time for foreplay to increase comfort and lubrication.
– Use lubricant if needed.
– Go slow, communicate, and relax your body.
– Take deep breaths and try to stay calm.
– A warm shower before can help you feel clean and relaxed.
If pain is severe or continues, it may need medical or therapeutic guidance.

It’s completely normal to have questions or concerns about first-time intercourse as many people do, especially when it’s something new and intimate.
For most women, the first time may involve mild discomfort, especially if there’s nervousness or lack of arousal. But it shouldn’t be extremely painful. Communication with your partner, proper foreplay, taking things slowly, and using lubrication if needed can make a big difference in making it a more comfortable and positive experience.
What’s most important is feeling emotionally and mentally ready. If you’re feeling anxious or unsure, speaking with a psychologist can help. They can guide you in understanding your tendencies, addressing any fears, and helping you feel more confident and relaxed.

Hi... Please consult a Gynecologist if this is causing a sense of anxiety within you. There is something called coitophobia or genophobia, i.e., an intense fear and anxiety related to vaginal penetration. It may be caused due to psychological factors like past negative experience, trauma; physical factors like vaginismus; or learnt behaviors like nagative or fearfull narratives about sex formed during early years, internalized and contributing to phobia. First time intercourse may be a pleasurable or mild painful process for most women and it may create a sense of anxiety in both men and women if it is their first time. But in most cases it passes through with simple efforts. Couples learn to pleasure each other with time and it doesn't happen all at once, like it is shown in films, etc. Please seek professional guidance.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist.
CBT along with Psychosexual Guidance and Counselling is required.

Hi,
As a newly married woman, it's natural to feel curious and a bit anxious about your first experience with intercourse. Many women do experience some discomfort or pain during their first time, mainly because the hymen may stretch, and your body is not yet accustomed to sexual activity. However, this pain is usually temporary and can be minimised with proper preparation. To prepare, it's important to communicate openly with your partner about your feelings and boundaries. Make sure to take things slowly, allowing plenty of time for foreplay, which can help relax your muscles and increase arousal, making the experience more comfortable. Using a good amount of water-based lubricant can also reduce discomfort. It's essential to be relaxed and comfortable; if you feel tense, it can cause more pain. Remember, there's no rushâif you experience pain or discomfort, communicate with your partner and stop if needed. If you have concerns or experience persistent pain, consulting a healthcare professional can provide reassurance and guidance. Focus on mutual trust, patience, and understanding to make this experience as positive as possible.

Hi
Firstly, intercourse is a very exciting activity. It releases stress for men and women. It helps develop stronger emotional and physical bond between partners.
Now when it comes to experiencing intercourse, be it first time or as many time, few things that would help you
- trust your partner that he would not hurt you intentionally
- women should be wet, so a lot of foreplay is needed.. where you experience n discover your g points, turn on points,.. eg- it can neck, waists, inner thighs or back..etc
- u can also use lubricant, available in market,
- take it slow, no need to be nervous. Nervousness can contract vaginal muscles and you can be in pain.. hence trust ur partner
- talk to your partner about your apprehensions and doubts, nervousness so that ur partner too knows how to take it slowly..
- try fingers first, so that the vaginal muscles expand, u feel wet, followed by the penis.
Happy to help if you have any further doubts
U can contact me on eight three six eight zero five three seven one zero
