Exploring sexual pleasure involves learning to stay present in the moment, practicing with different techniques, and not being overly focused on orgasm as the end goal.

It's important to remember that 80% of women experience pain during sex at some point in their lives, and it's essential to advocate for yourself and seek out specialized healthcare professionals to address these concerns. Communication and openness with partners are also crucial for a fulfilling sexual relationship. If you're struggling with sexual pain or discomfort, don't suffer in silence – seek out resources and support to improve your sexual health and wellbeing.
