Question:
Everytime my boyfriend and I try to have sex, he can't get his penis inside me. We have tried different positions but nothing has worked. It hurts after he goes in about 3 inches and then he has to pull out; it's like he's hitting a wall and we can't have sex. Neither of us have been with anyone before and thought that maybe I was "tight" or "small". But my gyno said I am normal. It's been frustrating with this problem, and now my boyfriend is having trouble with keeping his erection. I don't know if it's because of the condom or if he's upset about not having sex correctly. Please help. Thank you.

Dear Madam What you are describing is somewhat common, and there is usually nothing abnormal. This is called vaginismus. In this condition the female complains of what you said. The complication of the boyfreind is expected and is usually tarnsient. You will need to see a therapist to help you out of it. The help is usually simple modifications of what you do, but may need some time....
