"Your body isn't broken," my pelvic floor therapist said. "What you're experiencing is a positioning problem."
She drew three simple circles on her notepad.
"When you're lying flat, your pelvis tilts backward. That's why deep penetration feels uncomfortable—it's the angle, not you. And without support, your back and hips absorb all the strain."
"The right angle also reduces friction. Better positioning means smoother penetration. That's why lubricant alone doesn't solve it."
"So the pain isn't my body failing?" I asked.
"Exactly. Think of it like reading glasses. Your eyes aren't broken—they just need the right tool. Same with intimacy."
