This results from short and poorly done fore play. The psychological fear of a woman towards sex in terms of the size of the penis has also been blamed as a cause of painful superficial penetration.

The psychosomatic concept of Dyspareunia and Vaginismus

Sex and sexuality is a delicate subject. Slight psychological inhibition can have extremely detrimental effects on a couple’s sex life. All the body function systems that relay on the autonomic nervous system like cardiovascular system and sexual function are severely affected by cognitive and emotional factors; therefore, they are linked to psychosomatic disorders. When a woman is frightened or angry before or during sexual intercourse, the chances are that she will not produce the natural vaginal lubricants, and this will result into painful intercourse.

Sexual intercourse creates a bond between couples. It is a way of showing intimacy that cannot be neglected in the human society. Without sex, many relationships break. Sex should be performed in a relaxed and comfortable mood in order to achieve its purpose. Sexual disorders are today the main cause of marriage and relationship breakages. When one partner or both do not enjoy the pleasure associated with sex, then a tremendous problem looms. Therefore, sexual disorders like Dyspareunia should be treated urgently and properly.
