Overconsumption of pornography has given most people the wrong idea that pain during sex is normal, or even desirable. Nothing could be further from truth. Doctors say that pain during sex can be a sign of infections, hormonal shifts, or lack of lubrication or an inappropriate positioning, even psychological issues. If you feel pain then don’t hesitate to ask your partner to stop. If your partner is feeling pain then stop immediately and ask how you can help them feel better.

Like Monica Geller says to Chandler in Friends: “Chandler! It happens to lots of guys! You-you-you were probably tired, you had a lot of champagne, don’t worry about it!”

And that’s bang-on true! It happens to every man more or less at some point in his life. And there are many reasons such as stress, being tired or drunk, self-esteem issues, etc. Focusing too much or complaining about his problems will make the situation worse and it can even turn into a chronic problem.
