Question:
The first time my boyfriend and i had intercourse it was painful. I have had sex before, but this was the first time with a condom. It seemed to hurt in the area of my cervix. Could this be because of lack of lubrication? And because of the condom? My boyfriend is also very large and this was the first time i had had intercourse in about 5 years. Since this first time, i had had white discharge. At first it was a little chunky and i thought i had an allergic reaction to the condom, and it had given me a yeast infection. But it has been about 4 weeks since then. And now all i have is a creamy white discharge. I have had this before when i was sexually active. Is this normal?

The pain you experience could be due to lack of lubrication, as well as the size of his penis.Trying different positions may be useful, since you say he has a larger penis. You may also want to use a water-based lubricant - and definitely spending more time getting ready for intercourse (in terms of you being turned on and lubricated). Your second question deals with a white discharge. No, this does not sound normal as you describe it. I would have that checked with a medical provider - to rule out anything beyond a slight yeast infection. I encourage you to have it checked out now - so you can have peace of mind and enjoy your relationship.
