We’ve got a lot of commercials for women around Period Products and Birth Control, but if painful sex or Vaginismus is so common in women, I wonder why there aren’t more treatments for it getting marketed to us? Why can’t we also have commercials assuring us our lives can be normal, our sex lives can be great, and we don’t have to have fear or shame surrounding Vaginismus?

Probably because vaginismus is overwhelmingly a secret. And the idea of having painful sex is often ignored (or women are told to just endure it).
