By Mayo Clinic staffUntil vaginal penetration becomes less painful and bothersome, try broadening your bedroom repertoire. You and your partner might find other options to be more comfortable, more fulfilling and more fun than the same-old routine. Sensual massage, kissing and mutual masturbation can all be good alternatives to intercourse. Besides, trying different things can do more for your sexual relationship than clinging to a narrow view of what does or doesn't constitute good sex.
