I can totally relate to this, man. When I first started experimenting, I made the mistake of using cheap lube that dried out way too fast, which led to way more friction and pain than I expected. Once I switched to a good silicone-based lube, things became a lot smoother—literally. A thicker lube stays slick longer and reduces that uncomfortable drag.
Beyond that, I also found that warming up properly made a huge difference. Jumping straight into penetration wasn’t doing me any favors. Instead, I spent some time massaging around the area, getting used to the sensations, and letting my body naturally relax before even thinking about inserting a finger. It made the whole experience much more enjoyable.
Another tip that worked for me was adjusting my mindset. If you go into it tense or worried about pain, your body will reflect that tension. Instead of expecting discomfort, I started focusing on pleasure—taking my time, being patient, and just feeling things out rather than forcing it.
If you’re still experiencing pain after all of that, it might be worth checking in with a professional. Sometimes, persistent pain can be a sign of an underlying issue, but in most cases, it’s just a matter of going slow, using the right techniques, and giving your body time to adjust.
