4 comments on pain only on contact:

Touching certain spots in the vestibule area hurts, and after sex, if I haven't been using my estrogen cream regulary or been faithfully taking my vitamins, I can be sore until the next day. Sometimes, though, even though I can still touch certain spots which hurt, sex won't overall.

same as zallers comment but the pain worsens depending on length of contact, the longer the pressure the more excruciating the pain.

My pain is only on contact. When I get my pelvic exams I'm usually out of commision for the rest of the day because I'm in so much pain. Sex is the same way. I am able to wear pants and sit without any pain.

Started with a type of vestibulitus where only specific spots would hurt when touched (intercourse, q-tip test, finger, etc.) but otherwise comfortable and no feeling of pain with day to day activities.
