Does sex hurt now that you have lost weight? Sorry personal
Sorry this is a personal question obviously no one needs to answer it but i am wondering. Up to a month out i was still having sex and it HURT.. like umm felt like things were poking out of the other side.. i was feeling a lot more of stuff and i have only lost 24 lbs since surgery but 128 lbs total. I am just wondering if i am the only one that noticed this? Not like i am having sex anymore (divorced) but was curious? I also have an IUD but have had it since January 2013 without it bugging me during intimacy.
It doesn't hurt me, no. You might want to talk to your doc to make sure nothing is wrong.

No problems here, either. I agree with Kelly. I think you need to ask your doctor about this.

Obviously, I am a long way out - have a Mirena IUD and have noooooo pain or discomfort when having sex!
Are you experiencing sensation as pain? I am a normal BMI and am pretty active at this point (which is a good thing) but I don't think that sex should cause pain, whatever weight we are ...

After I had lost about 100 pounds, I occasionally had times when it felt like the penetration was too deep and uncomfortable (easier to get deep penetration without my belly in he way!!) but it was not something I would categorize as pain.

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
Since you have lost so much weight the guy can go deeper then before. Some women have sensitive uteruses that react badly when poked and that is what is causing the discomfort. Some women actually enjoy it and some don't. You can talk to your partner and explain what is going on, see if he can do shallower strokes or try different positions that are more comfortable to you until you can get use to him being able to go in deeper.
