A perspective on boundaries & being a woman
by Kait
Last post
 4 hours ago
...See more I think in a lot of societies, women are expected to be accommodating of others, we are expected to prioritize everyone else, and expected to give specific reasons for our boundaries. And if those reasons aren’t “good enough,” sometimes we get pushback.  Well, I’d like to challenge that, because we shouldn’t need a specific reason for our boundaries. “Because I said so” is enough. If you don’t want to date someone, if you want to quit something, if you want to change a behavior or habit, “Because I don’t want that for myself anymore” is enough!

Vaginismus Support
by SereneCuriosity

...See more Hi ladies, I was diagnosed with vaginismus three years ago after getting married and attempting to be sexually active for the first time.  After a year and a half of pelvic floor therapy, I haven't made as much progress as I thought.  I have made some progress and my spouse and I are able to achieve pain-free intimacy much of the time but it just looks a bit different for us than "normal" folks.  Recently had an OB check-up and the vaginismus is still a huge issue and being able to have sex to achieve pregnancy is not possible at the moment.  Also, I should mention that I have a history of C-PTSD and my body tends to hold a lot of stress/trauma/tension.  I am planning to re-commit to gentle yoga, breathing, dilators, etc. but am still struggling a lot with (1) self-compassion and (2) feeling guilty or that I am "broken" and (3) dealing with other women's comments such as "when are you having kids?" or, as they survey my belly fat, "are you pregnant?"  (Can't make this stuff up!  I truly don't know how women still think it's okay to ask these questions in 2024, but nevertheless, it happens and even though intellectually I know that that is their own ignorance at best, rudeness at worst, I still feel shame and being "different."  Anyway, I'm hoping to connect with other women who have experienced or are currently experiencing vaginismus/pelvic floor issues/dyspareunia/vulvodynia, or other sexual + psychological related concerns so that we can all be a source of encouragement and empowerment for each other and thereby counteract the shame and sense of loneliness that often accompanies these conditions.  Sending lots of love!

...See more Tw: mentions of childhood trauma/ growth/ healing and self awareness  Fiercely Beautiful  As children we are taught to be obedient and rise  Even when we are torn inside  We bowed our heads to look endlessly pretty However our hearts taken for less than a pity's worth Sometimes the collision of our minds intertwines Leaving an irreplaceable mark that is left to unhide  The fierceness of our beauty would become thunderous  An the look within our eyes became ever so wonderous  By InsightfulPhoenix  Tag list: @Mya000
