Question
My boyfriend and I were messing around and he was fingering me. After a while it started to hurt and we stopped. Then about an hour later it start to hurt again. Now near the opening of my vagina there are two little areas where it's red and raw. Could it just be from friction and getting to dry?
Answer
Yes, chances are good that the redness is from friction, which suggests you were "not into it." If you are unsure you are ready for sexual activity - please tell him no.
