Vaginismus, any ideas how to overcome it?

There are several methods available. It is important to realize that it is largely a mental problem and so emotional intervention is necessary to overcome it. Some women have developed it because of sexual abuse when they were younger or because of growing up in families where sex was considered to be a dirty thing. Her parents' attitude eventually led her to become extremely withdrawn and pathlologically fearful of a natural human bodily function, sexual intercourse. Not even pap smears or tampons are comfortable for her.

In order to overcome vaginismus talking to the person affected will help.Having her confiding in someone she can trust will be the first step.
Then, preferably a medical professional may help her get used to penetration by first a finger and then progresively larger and larger objects e.g. a dildo. Please note that this may take up to several months before she is comfortably enough to accomodate male penetration. When she is though, the man should be very patient. Although some women never become totally comfortable sex will become progrssively tolerable and even enjoyable.

Start at www.vaginismus.com and order yourself a set of dilators.

PS - Crying, screaming, cursing, wishing it would just go away, getting angry, getting drunk, having surgery... these things will NOT help you.
