isnt it supposed to hurt??

[demi]

last night for the first time in many months --I finally gave in( even though I have been in a horrible bladder flare for 3 months) and fooled around(no intercourse but hands inside(sorry so graphic) It didnt hurt at all and I am wondering why????I am scared that it is going to start hurting later even though it was 12 hours ago..should I stop worrying and just appreciate the fact that I was ok??

I would stop worrying.

i bought some aloe vera gel from desertharvest.com to have intercourse.

it has helped a ton....

i tried to buy it at whole foods, but they didn't have it.

hope this helps...

You're probably safe not worrying. :) If it's been that long since you fooled around you'll probably be just fine. :)

I know that my painful sexual moments are oral sex and penetration so I find it very normal that in your case you had no pain. Just take it slow and listen to your body. :grouphug:

I know how you feel! I am always amazed and then a worry wart for the few days after when there is no pain. I've come to really appreciate those times when it is so wonderful and pain free and like someone else said - just listen to your body. Hopefully it will tell you if what you're doing is going to cause you pain later on.

Someone mentioned aloe vera, and I'll also mention pure, 100% vegetable Crisco oil. Sounds weird, I know, but it was recommended by my gyn/uro and works wonderfully! It even sooths the area and is good for the skin!

I agree, don't worry about it. I have pain off and on with sex & when it doesn't hurt, the feeling of being pain-free is better than the actual sex! (not really, but pretty close), I just always have to remember to pee afterwards or i'll be hurting later!
