Thanks DanceQueen. Here goes:

Age=33

Sexual history before marriage: None. I had one boyfriend in high school and broke up with him at the start of college (I had moved on, and he had stayed the same). I met my H freshman year of college and started dating soon afterwards. Physically, our relationship progressed (heavy petting, oral sex from him), which was extremely enjoyable for me, but because of my upbringing ("good girls don't have sex") and to eliminate the possibility of an unwanted pregnancy, we decided we should wait until we got married for intercourse. I first started masturbating at this time too (it was my first experience with the magic of orgasm) even though I felt that what I was doing was bad/shameful and should be kept quiet.

No history of abuse. I have a great, and supportive family, and a pretty happy childhood in general.

As far as H's sexual history -- I was his first girlfriend, and he has had no outside experience. Needless to say, our current situation is incredibly difficult for him.

Intercourse has never been enjoyable for me. It was painful when we first attempted it near our wedding night (7 years after we started dating) -- partially because I was pretty scared. Since then, I was diagnosed with vaginismus, but have overcome this issue with a hymenectomy and by using physical therapy. Still, it's not easy -- H has to ease in the times we even "try" to have intercourse, which is extremely rare. As a result, we've never had him come inside me.

Orgasm has always been enjoyable for me. I can always orgasm when masturbating, or when masturbated by my H.

For a while, I had issues with body image -- uncomfortable being naked, always felt cold and vulnerable. I think I've made my way through those.

Let me know if you have more questions.

Thanks.
