I too have very painful pap smears which seems to be because I can't relax. I have not had sexual intercoursre per say but have experimented with sexual toys at times. The last time I went through one, it was extremely painful and I had the doctor at the end of the table barking orders at me in very terse and irritated tone, telling me to relax. I think there are just doctors out there male and female, who simply don't want to acknowledge that the relaxing is not just something that woman can always get over. I've heard some people tell me that I should take Valium but I don't know how to get it. It's ridiculous and really pitiful that even female gynecologist arn't willing to address this problem with some sort of drug or some sort of topical numbing agent or something made readily available to women during these exams. As it is now, I haven't had one in 6 years because the last one was so humiliating with a doctor practically screaming at me at the end of the table to relax. The entire state of women's health issues is in disarray and this is just one very important example of this!
