Hi avaiara,

We can't say for certain what's causing this pain, although sometimes pain in that area after sex is the result of vasocongestion (the increased blood circulation in the pelvis and genitals during arousal) not being relieved by orgasm. Do you tend to get these cramps after sex where you didn't orgasm? Or do they happen whether or not you orgasm?

Too, if you haven't had a sexual health check-up where you've discussed this issue you need to make an appointment to do. Having a check-up can help determine what's causing these pains.
And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.
