Hello everyone,,
I had my first Pap smear today and it was almost unbearably painful and burned A LOT. My doctor told me that it was because I’m a virgin. In retrospect, I should have asked her to use a smaller speculum and to add more lube (I feel like she didn’t add any).
On one hand, I’m glad that she was able to insert the speculum all the way (even though it was painful). On the other hand, I want to start having sex with my BF soon, but I’m worried that it will hurt as much as this Pap.
Is sex as painful as Paps? Because if so, I don’t know how I’ll be able to go through that.
I also don’t know if I’ll be able to get a dilators any time soon, so I’ve just been practicing with inserting my fingers.
