I have been sexually active for about 6 months now. I have only had 1 partner, who is my husband. I recently found out that I have herpes. My husband had a cold sore...you can figure the rest out from there. Well, for the past month I have had pain during sex. I can't explain the feeling. It hurts to go in, it hurst when he thrusts...I feel like my body is rejecting it. I am at the point to where I am scared to have sex. I am going to the doctor on Monday for a check up, and I'll talk to him about it then, but does anyone think this is herpes related? I have only had 1 break out and I am over that. This pain was before and after the break out. Any feedback would be appreciated!

Pain during sex...
From the other related thread like this, you had an Dr appt soon after that... did anything come of that? or is this the appt you were referring too?
It could be that you are just not properly lubed... some women produce enough natural lubricant.. others need a little extra.
Are you/have you been treated for the herpes down below.. or did you just assume that's what it was??
Also, regarding this
[QUOTE]HSV-1 and HSV-2 can be found in and released from the sores that the viruses cause, but they also are released between outbreaks from skin that does not appear to be broken or to have a sore. Generally, a person can only get HSV-2 infection during sexual contact with someone who has a genital HSV-2 infection. Transmission can occur from an infected partner who does not have a visible sore and may not know that he or she is infected.
HSV-1 can cause genital herpes, but it more commonly causes infections of the mouth and lips, so-called "fever blisters." HSV-1 infection of the genitals can be caused by oral-genital or genital-genital contact with a person who has HSV-1 infection. Genital HSV-1 outbreaks recur less regularly than genital HSV-2 outbreaks.

So if your hubby gave you oral w/ a fever blister and now you have it genitally... wouldn't you give it back to him genitally??? I am so confused lol
I have been diagnosed w/ herpes. I am on medication and vatamins. I am trying to build up my immune system to better fight against breakouts. My first break out lasted only a few days. I am going to the doctor to check up on that. I was just wondering if the painful sex is herpes related or not. I have had pain for a little over a month now. That was about 2 1/2 to 3 weeks before my breakout. We use lots of lube b/c I just do not produce as much as I used to. The lube just burns. I can tell that the pain is not from lubricant, although I can not explain the pain. He can not even stick the tip if his penis in w/ out me feeling any pain. It does go away if we force it, but that does not always work. And getting past that poing is VERY painful and time consuming.
