Is anyone a virgin because of medical reasons ?
Being a virgin for medical reasons seems to be rarely talked about.
I am a woman in my early 30s with Vaginismus. It is a pelvic floor condition that can make sex painful or impossible. I didn’t get treatment for this until starting this year because doctors are so dismissive or ignorant. Took most of my life to get a diagnosis. Then, Pelvic floor therapy is expensive and time consuming.
It’s just frustrating when everyone around you assumes you have all this sexual experience and you don’t. I was thinking that at my age I have to lie and say I’m not a virgin to protect myself. Either way, I’m not believed that I am really a virgin. I tried to tell a guy I was dating previously and he didn’t believe me. That ended.
It’s also like a feeling of grief too. Even as I am towards the end of therapy I feel annoyed. The first time I experience something won’t even mean anything because the person most likely already experienced it with other people. Just being at an older age too just makes it worse. Idk it just frustrates me.
