Our Vaginismus post is by sex therapist Kate Moyle. Here bio is at the bottom of the article.
As a sex therapist, a common female sexual issue that I work with is Vaginismus; however I am always amazed that when discussing the subject and working to raise awareness that people say ‘Vagi-What?!’
This is a problem that impacts two in every one thousand women according to www.vaginismus.com, but these statistics are likely to be underreported due to shame, mis – or lack of – diagnosis, and the fact that sufferers often don’t have a name for their symptoms, or know that they can be treated. This is something that dramatically needs to change.
