[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for the honest responses. I do see a wonderful gynecologist, and I’ve noticed my last few pelvic exams/pap smears were very uncomfortable - not his technique but my ability to tolerate it. I haven’t asked him about this issue because I have been celibate and it wasn’t any kind of priority.

I have a great pelvic floor owing to never carrying to term or giving birth - I gave up after multiple miscarriages.

But I’m guessing I would experience discomfort on account of the dryness - I do still masturbate once or twice a week because it helps relieve tension and helps me sleep, but I need more external stimulation to get motivated and while I occasionally get moist it is nothing like before.

I think I will probably just embrace continued celibacy unless a wonderful unicorn of a man lands in my lap without any effort on my part. And of course if he’s a wonderful unicorn of a man, he’ll happily settle for oral sex and be the primary provider ;) when he’s not cleaning the bathroom and kitchen, that is. Ha!

I think you should still talk to your doctor anyway, unicorn on the horizon or no. Whether or not you ever have sex with a partner again, the dryness and tissue atrophy can cause a lot of discomfort and cause greater susceptibility to UTIs, etc. [/quote]
