This Year, Vow to Take it Easy on Yourself

Welcome to 2013 ladies! I’m not sure I was quite ready for the New Year, but alas, it’s upon us.

I usually spend each January getting my game face on, thinking “This is it! This is going to be the year I stay on track, keep a workout schedule, eat right and get in shape. This will be the year I conquer that half marathon and get that flat stomach that’s been staring back at me from the vision board I created almost 11 months ago.” Then by March I find myself sitting on the couch watching re-runs of the Biggest Loser having a carb load thinking, “Jillian Michaels is hot!”

This was lovely to read.I started belly dancing at 57(last year!)I decided if a woman 12 years my senior could join these ladies,so could I! I love it ! I have long grey hair,do not bare my belly, was quite shy for awhile,but I have learned to loosen up ,wear harem pants,use scarves and my favorite. decorative items are…EARRINGS!!…. I love my fellow dancers. I love the way belly dancing makes me feel!!l!You do not have to be slim and beautiful on the outside….it is how we feel on the inside that is important!

I have had sex with the same (awesome, patient, caring, attentive) partner for years, and thought my body was just ‘hit and miss’ with sex, and that that was my normal. I’m so happy to read this article and know that treatment might be possible for this condition if this is what I have. Time to see a gynecologist – thank you, Ms. Fit!

I read about a woman whose husband was a tattoo artist. He tattooed a nipple and aereola on her breast at her request. She said it wasn’t quite the same – there was no nipple you could touch or that stuck out – but from even a foot away it looked real.

It strikes me about our body parts and what they mean to us. I mean, what is a nipple, really? Just a bump. And yet if I were to lose mine…it represents so much. Your comment struck me the most: it has traveled!! It has been overseas.

I admire your bravery, your tenacity in processing, your evolving understanding and acceptance…and I am glad you are still with us.

This article is really amazing, seeing as I struggle with an extremely similar problem. I fight myself everyday and force myself to run on top of my busy dance schedule. I’ve been looking for a new way of thinking about my workouts. Your insight is amazing and inspiring. Thank you so much!

I completely agree with this comment. I’m a doctoral student in clinical psychology and recently gave a presentation on vaginismus and heteronormativity. So far, I haven’t found anything in the literature (medical, psych, or physical therapy) that talks about vaginismus with queer women. I interviewed several practitioners who use dilator therapy who did not understand why the treatment may not be appropriate for lesbians. Suffice it to say, I feel your pain, and I’ll do my part to try and add to the literature with my own work in the future. I second the call for Ms. Fit to do an article specifically about vaginismus (even vaginal pain in general, there’s so many conditions!) for lesbians and queer women. It really would mean a great deal. Thanks!
