Hello-
You are suffering from Vaginismus/Vaginal spasm. Lox gel won't help as it will cut both pain and pleasure sensation during sex. Your condition is physical so it needs internal supplementation to recover. There are many beneficial herbs in ayurveda which can prevent vaginal muscle from spasm and can provide a natural pleasure sensation from within, once treated. Its best to consult a doctor for that.

Hello-
Vaginal Spasm (Vaginismus) is a condition which affects a woman's ability to engage in any form of vaginal penetration, including sexual penetration, insertion of tampons, and gynecological examinations. This is the result of a conditioned reflex of the pubococcygeus (PC) muscle, causing muscles in the vagina to tense suddenly and making any kind of vaginal penetration either painful or impossible.

Fortunately, it is curable.

Healthcare experts aren’t sure why some people experience vaginismus. It can cause physical, psychological and sexual issues. Bladder infections, UTIs and yeast infections can worse...more

It may also be that in anticipation of penetration, you may be unconsciously tightening the muscles down there to the point that nothing can get in. This can also make sex painful. It's called Vaginismus. It is treatable through relaxation and exercise techniques.

There are also these things called dilators that you can use to stretch th...more
