Hi bbaleni,
So glad you are asking about having sex “in between dilation therapy”. At Maze we encourage having non intercourse sex, which is not penis in vagina sex, while you are working on dilation. Again I am talking about manual, oral or other sexual activity that isn’t penetrating the vagina. This is so you continue to feel sexually connected until your vaginismus is resolved. We suggest no intercourse until you have successfully completed dilation and are ready for what we term “maintenance dilation”. That’s because we want to set you up to have successful pain free intercourse. When you have been able to dilate just a bit larger than your partner’s penis we suggest you attempt intercourse (when you feel ready). We also suggest that you dilate right before intercourse to have the best chance for successful pain free penis in vagina penetration. We also suggest you use a good lubricant such as organic coconut oil (not to be used with condoms) or Sliquid. I hope this information is helpful.
Wishing you luck on your journey and happy to answer any questions you may have along the way,
Helen
