"Heard wonderful things about you from other therapists"

I'm a Brazilian PHD Pelvic Floor Physical therapist treating pelvic pain, including vaginismus, and have heard wonderful things about you from other therapists in the same field.

First of all I would like to congratulate your website with the complete approach for the treatment. As well I would like to know if is possible for you to mail me some pamphlets or brochures for patient use. I must refer patients to purchase their own treating equipment here in Brazil (such as dilators, workbooks, etc.)

Thank you in my name and in the name of my patients.

"Excellent resource"

I am a medical doctor and specialist in sexual health in Australia. I have recently received a copy of your book and workbook on vaginismus which I found an excellent resource. Apart from my practice I have a family company that provides books and products to the sexual health profession in Australia and New Zealand. Our company is called Intimate Solutions Pty Ltd. Because of the value I found in the two books I would like to offer them to the Australian practitioner and their patients/clients.

"Vaginismus kit"

I am an AASECT certified sex therapist in Atlanta and frequently see patients with vaginismus. Recently I've been hearing positive things about your vaginismus kit. Is it possible to get a discounted or complementary kit to review and show to patients? I am also an AASECT certified sex educator and teach at Emory University's School of Nursing. I would like to have the kit to show to my graduate nursing students, many of whom are becoming nurse practitioners.

Thanks so much.

"Physical Therapist specializing in Women’s Health"

I am a Physical Therapist specializing in Women's Health. Over 90% of my practice is pelvic pain, mostly Vaginismus and unconsummated marriages. I was wondering if I could be sent some of your materials as samples to show my patients? That would be so great! I also have a close working relationship with Penner & Associates in Pasadena, CA, who I know recommend vaginismus.com to all their clients.

"Resolution in 9 days after 16 years of struggling"

I just wanted to let you know that I have finally overcome vaginismus after 16 years of struggling with this condition.

Although my husband and I enjoyed a sexual relationship (outercourse as you refer to it), we were never able to achieve full penetration due to my muscle spasms. My husband could insert about 1/3 of his penis but then he hit "the wall". I have always used tampons and have had internal medical examinations so I knew there was nothing physically wrong with me.

Feeling frustrated on and off for years, I discovered your website and ordered your self-help kit. It was the best thing I could have done. I started straight in with the Kegels at 300 per day as I am a fit and healthy 37 year old. I then proceeded quickly through the 1st dilator and onto the 2nd. I did my Kegels around the 2nd dilator to get used to it and that worked really well for me. However, I reached a plateau with the No.3 dilator and could only get that 1/2 way in.

I then decided to adapt the programme to suit me more and tried inserting my husband's penis which I found less threatening somehow than the trainers. Unbelievably, after only 9 days into the programme and on my first attempt I was able to fully insert his penis and have been doing so for the past 4 nights with greater and greater ease and comfort. I have not experienced any muscle spasms and last night I was able to let my husband take control over penetration. I am able to move slowly around him using the Kegel exercises and we now just have to discover how to enjoy full intercourse more.

I cannot begin to tell you what a diference your programme has made to my life. My husband has been so understanding and patient over the years but I felt so frustrated and unwomanly! I felt abnormal and used to look at other women and wonder why I couldn't be the same as them.

To all vaginismus sufferers out there, try this programme and stick to it however hard you find it and whatever obstacles you may come up against. Don't give up because I never believed in a million years that I would achieve pain free sex in such a short space of time after all these years.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

"Wanted to scream it from the roof tops"

In the past I have seen a psychosexual counsellor, and a (very expensive!) top Harley Street (London) sex therapist. Both treatments unsuccessful - that's when I decided to google 'vaginismus' on the internet and stubbled across the website. When the trainers first arrived I felt shocked and upset - and immediately scared about failing. However, what's great about this program is that it let's you work at your own pace - no rushing, no pressure.

At 26 years of age, I managed to have full IC with my fiance and live-in partner of 5 years for the first time. I wanted to scream it from the roof tops, I wanted to cry - I felt such a weight had been lifted. Instead, I chose to smile inwardly as this has always been my (and my partner's) little secret....

I don't want to share my story to gloat - I want to share my story to hopefully inspire those on the program. It's taken me a year. At times I had breaks and gave up, at times I cried and felt like a complete failure, at times I felt stupid, at times I felt helpless and abnormal and that I'd never be able to make love to my husband so 'what was the point'....

I sought comfort by reading other's comments on the forum. But I also picked up valuable tips; practical tips that really helped me to succeed:

1. Warm lubricant and trainer in warm water before staring insertion exercises
2. Persevere persevere persevere
3. When you think you've practiced insertions enough...do it some more (you can never have enough practice controlling your pc muscles)
4. When it comes to inserting a penis for the first time - straddle the penis facing away from your partner
5. lubricate lubricate lubricate (I dread to think how much money I must have spent on lubricant!)
6. Review your declarations, often
7. Love and respect your own body

And a couple of tips from me:

1. Only do this program if you feel truly ready - be prepared to explore your past in order to move forward
2. Read erotic fiction (this helped me to accept IC as a 'healthy' act)

Although I've achived IC now, I feel I've only started on my journey. I'd like to diminish unhealthy messages and emotions towards IC entirely, and I'd like to be able to achieve a pap smear screening.

I have overcome primary vaginismus. I can tell you it has been the hardest, longest personal battle that I've ever had. Now I can thank Mark and Lisa Carter - for they truly are my saviors. I truly believe the vaginismus kit I bought is 'worth it's weight in gold'.

Thank you Mark and Lisa.
