Vaginismus and dyspareunia are common female conditions, affecting lives on many levels and
causing physical pain, emotional anguish, and the sense of failure and sexual inadequacy. The
shame that is associated with the inability to have vaginal penetrations often forces women into
hiding behind a veil of silence. Healthcare professionals share the frustration in encountering
a void in available resources and training regarding proper management of these conditions.
This book, which includes extensive explanations, real - life stories of patients and partners,
and treatment options, should be of great value to sufferers, partners, family members,
healthcare professionals and spiritual leaders who will now be able to better understand the
nature and management of these conditions.

ORDERING INFORMATION
It is no laughing matter when intercourse is painful. When there is discomfort and not erotic pleasure, anxiety builds and
additional problems might develop, such as the unconscious tightening of the muscles surround the vaginal opening (a
condition known as vaginismus). Quite often, however, a tight vagina is not the problem, it is the size of the penis.
Bigger is not always better and sometimes there is not a comfortable fit because the penis is too long, too thick or both.
There are ways to cope, adjustments that can be made and alternatives to be explored. This low cost book costs only $8.95,
plus $5.00 for Priority Mail shipment, but it is work a million if there has been pain, anxiety and avoidance.
