A quick note: If I answered a question and you have further questions for me, please include a URL link to your original question(s) so that I can be sure of what we're talking about. Questions that reference something we talked about a week ago that I can't quite remember are kinda hard to answer.
Welcome to my column.
I don't apologize for my answers. I speak to the audience, and in doing so I sometimes tell the audience things they don't want to hear or cant handle.
I believe in stands on principle. I believe that doing right for the sake of doing right is a good way to live. I believe in self awareness and encourage it in others. I offer the most unbiased viewpoint I have. And yes, I am only human.
Im going to tell you what I think you need to hear. You are not supposed to take what I say and follow it. You are supposed to take what I say and _think_about_it_
Oh, and feel free to ask me questions, but netspeak, ebonics, terrible grammar, and your teen angst about a crush will be ignored.

I am a 20 year old female and I have been sexually inactive for almost a year now. I just recently had sex the other day and I was very sore for a couple days, which I expected, but then I had sex a couple days later (with the same person) and it hurt. I figured it was because I was still sore, but when I touched my vagina, it felt like it was swollen and it hurt really bad. Also my (vaginal) lips felt very raw and itchy. This is really disgusting me and I don't know what is wrong. Can someone help me please!!! (link)

Lord, the inexperience of some people.
First, I wouldn't get overly alarmed. Yes, vaginal irritation due purely to rubbing can be an issue. Possible causes range from your new partner being a bit bigger than your ladyparts are used to dealing with to you not being as lubricated as you really should be. The solution to all these problems is some quality lube, I recommend astroglide because literally everyone with a pharmacy carries it and it is (in my opinion) the best stuff out there.
Give yourself a few days to get un-swollen before you give things a shot again.
Second, if it isn't an issue which can be solved by lubrication the next most likely culprit would be perhaps a yeast infection. Go ahead and pull up google and search yeast infection and learn more, because it's something just about every woman has to deal with at least once in her life, so you might as well be prepared even if that's not the problem now.
Third, shower before sex, just in case. That goes for both of you.
Fourth, if it persists for a week make an appointment with your gyno and go get tested, just in case.
