I (F25) have always found cowgirl painful. Any other position was completely fine, even reversed cowgirl or when I was leaning completely forward in cowgirl. If we went really slowly and turned me on a lot, we could get there eventually but it was still a bit uncomfortable. I have also been experiencing pain in or around my asshole but never during sex. I never connected these two. Oh and my period has always been extremely painful, I would always puke or sometimes I’d make it till the pain killers kicked in.
Few months ago the pain in/around my asshole got so bad I could not sit down. A neurologist sent me to a physiotherapist (who specializes in this area) saying I need a mobilization of the coccyx (tailbone). This is done from the inside of your asshole – the physiotherapist takes care of this using their hand. There is no pain at all, just slight pressure and it’s really nothing to worry about. Just like getting a massage only in a bit unusual area.
I was shocked to find cowgirl suddenly completely painless! It feels so much better now! I have informed my partner we are going to be doing a lot more of that now, if he’s okay with that. He did not seem to mind at all hahah. Looking forward to my next period since the physiotherapist said this could also help with the menstrual pain.
I wanted to let you all know in case it helps anyone else to pain free sex.

Thank you for sharing this.
The physiotherapist gives you a magical butt massage. What is this and where can I get me some?
I feel like I know almost too much here
medical ppl really are just meat mechanics
My tailbone has been hurting like hell lately and my bf joked that he would solve it if I let him. Then I checked solutions for it and “internal manipulation from the rectum” was right there… I had to admit to my bf that he was right!
This is exactly why r/sex should be around forever. So people can comfortably and confidently share experiences like this. Thank you for letting us know. Btw, was there any other things you saw a change in? Was there any other indicators we might keep an eye out for? For instance, I’m a guy so I’ll NEVER be riding cowgirl, lmao.
I’m sure a neurologist is a brain doctor. If not then I’m going to the wrong person for a brain scan in a Few weeks
