How can someone overcome vaginismus aside from psychosexual counselling & the use of vaginal dilators?

I see you have some wishful thinking going on. I also went with this theory - for about 9 years. Then, when my husband was fixing to leave, decided that maybe I'd better hunker down and use those horrid dilators. 6 months later, we were having regular intercourse.

Bottom line - I don't think it's possible that you can. Although vaginismus is psychological, in the end, it's just as physical a problem. In my humble opinion, and as a vaginismus "survivor", the counselling wasn't necessary - I did fine without it - but there just isn't a way without using those dilators to train your mind and accustom your body to the sex sensations.

Good luck to you.

Just lie back and think of England.
