I’m glad someone is bringing it up. Our bodies are incredible at signaling when something isn’t right, and I think this applies to both physical and emotional connections in relationships. If sex is consistently painful with a particular partner, even when there are no medical issues, it’s a clear sign that something deeper is going on.
From my perspective, emotional connection plays a massive role in how our bodies respond during intimacy. When that connection isn’t there—or worse, when there’s tension or unresolved issues—it’s like your body goes into defense mode. It’s not even about physical compatibility sometimes; it’s about feeling emotionally safe and understood. Without that foundation, it’s almost impossible to relax, and tension can turn into pain.
Another thing to consider is the level of communication with your partner. If you don’t feel comfortable discussing what works for you or expressing when something doesn’t feel right, that dynamic can make the experience worse. A good partner should be someone who listens, adjusts, and genuinely cares about making the experience enjoyable for both of you. When that’s missing, it’s hard for your body to respond positively, no matter how much foreplay or lube is involved.
At the end of the day, I think it’s essential to trust your instincts. If your body is telling you something is off, it’s worth taking a step back and reevaluating the relationship. Sex should be a positive, pleasurable experience, not something that leaves you feeling uncomfortable or stressed.
