    Question

    I just had sex with my boyfriend tonight for the first time. I am so sore and swollen, after a few minutes into it, there was a lot of friction and we did have to stop. Things started up again, still with difficulty and friction. My labia is double the size it normally is and it hurts to pee, is this from lack of lubricant or something else? This has happened before, with my last boyfriend, but not every time. I've been tested for all STD's.

    Answer

    It does sound as if there is too much friction, and therefore not enough lubrication. You can try KY jelly or some other water-based lubricant, and if it continues, see your doctor.
