108 - When sex comes with (unwanted) pain

Isiah McKimmie, one of Australia's leading relationship and sex experts is back to chat with Julia in this week's episode of the Single Mother Survival Guide Podcast. This time, Julia and Isiah talk about sex and pain. Sex and pain are not two words we'd typically like to put in a sentence together; not when it's unwanted anyway.  In this episode Isiah chats with Julia about: The different types of pain including sexual pain, pelvic pain, and chronic pain.  If there are any stages in life where it could get worse. How common it actually is for women to experience pain during and after sex. What the potential causes are of the pain. And how to fix it! - the treatment options available (and why orgasms support the body in dealing with pain). Isiah also shares preventative tips to prevent pain.
