Hi Sal,

Thanks, but I have researched all avenues.

Using the dilators is fine, but even after achieving intercourse, you still have to keep using them.

With botox, you give your body atleast 6 months to be able to have intercourse and because it prevents that particular muscle from contracting, it shows your mind and body that it really doesn't hurt.

Basically, yes some are succesful using dilators, others are not.

I have started with them and also saw a clinical psychologist in Sydney, but to keep going with his method it would cost me the earth and I really don't have any $$ to spare right now.

I am looking into the botox because it appears to be a final solution and generally a one off cost as opposed to going constantly to therapy.

For some, therapy is needed more, but due to the fact that I wasn't abused or anything, it doesn't seem to work for me.

Not only this, I have spoken to many sufferers and they have been using and still trying for some over 10 years without success with the dilators.
