I tried making a Reddit account and it asked me to build karma before I could ask on any of the relevant subs so I'm posting here.

I can personally say that if anything goes up there, it hurts, and not in a good way. It does not feel pleasurable at all. It feels kind of like placing a finger on an open sore and pushing down.

Also, if you're being examined, they tell you to take deep breaths, as if they know that anything going up is going to be painful. If sex is supposed to be pleasurable and enjoyable, why would doctors tell you to brace for impact, so to speak?

Lastly, women often scream during sex. It's often said they're screaming out of pleasure and not pain. But there are a lot of things I find extremely pleasurable, but I don't scream while I do them.

Is it just one of those things that is painful but we're conditioned into believing the pain is actually pleasure and I must have inconsistent pain tolerance and I am making a big deal out of this?

Men have to worry about pregnancy too. If a man gets a woman pregnant, it's ultimately her choice whether to keep the baby or not, so the risk is she would want to keep it and you gotta help raise the kid or pay child support.

It sounds like you're coming from a perspective of women only having one night stands. In a loving long term relationship, I hope that the answer to questions like "does this guy have a wife", "is he going to hurt me" or "is he just using me" would all be no.

    Nah he's right on the first part. I enjoy sex and would do it more if I didn't have to deal with all the bullshit being AFAB brings.

    Pregnancy. Its a huge deal. Even abortion is a huge deal. Abortions hurt. You have to get the meds. Its illegal in my state. The meds can fail then you have to have surgery.

    Birth control. A fucking pain to take daily at the same time plus if you react bad to it oh well.

    UTIs. I can't have sex without getting a UTI. There is literally nothing that can be done about this other than take an antibiotic everytime I have sex. I have tried everything else.

    Periods. You're going to stain your sheets\towels. Don't forget to take your tampon out.

    There is no fun and flippant sex when you have an innie instead of an outtie, there is always baggage.

    If I had a dick I'd be having so much more sex.
