Does the vagina tighten up after a period of inactivity ?

Question: Does the vagina tighten up after a period of inactivity? I am in a sexual relationship with a woman who has not had intercourse in seven years. We made our first attempt at love making the other day. It felt as though her vagina was tremendously tight. So much so, that it caused me to ejaculate immediately upon minor contact, twice. This has never been a problem for me. Does the vagina tighten up after a period of inactivity? If so, what can be done?

Answer: Rapid ejaculation is often associated with anxiety. It's not unusual to feel some anxiety with a new partner, especially if the sexual "entry" is unusually tight. Vaginal tightness or dryness can be due to a number of factors, inactivity can be one of them. Before recommending treatment, there needs to be an accurate diagnosis of why your partner is "tight." Is she menopausal? Is there a history of trauma? Why hasn't she had intercourse in seven years and how does she feel about having it with you now? Has she had a pelvic exam recently and has it been painful? Can she insert tampons or a finger comfortably? Is there sufficient lubrication? Sex shouldn't be painful and I commend you for being concerned enough to get some professional help. Tell your partner to see her M.D. first. If all checks out, contact an AASECT-certified sex therapist together. When it comes to sexual relationships, both partners must be part of the solution.
