You know I've actually never bitten my tongue that bad before! I've burnt it though. But okay I'll just try to let it heal. Thank you! Oh and that's good to know haha.

When I mentioned lubrication, I'm speaking in terms of you having sex still while it heals. Going forward, don't use any lubrication too because the chemicals in the lube may irritate the spot.

But since you're not having sex, don't worry about that part.

Yes, It may take more than a week for it to heal.

Usually, when I bite my tongue by accident, the sore does not completely heal for like 3 weeks. You ever bit your tongue before? Doesn't take a week to heal...

So you're on the right path by not having sex or having any kind of foreplay near the sore so you can allow 1-3 weeks to heal.

A tongue should be okay though... hint hint

That would make sense except I haven't had sex in over a week so if there was a wound it would have healed by now wouldn't it? And we didn't use any extra lubrication except from the little bit that comes on the condom.

If you are feeling a burning sensation near the entrance of your vagina, that means there is a microscopic flesh wound probably due to friction from the sex.

There is nothing you can do about it. It's like having a sore on the tongue and you have to wait till it heals and go away.

You should refrain from sex right now because the continuous friction from the penetration is not allowing the sore to heal. Using lubrication is probably burning it more because lubrication has chemicals in it.

If I were you, just soak in some luke warm water for a few days and just give it time to heal. It may take a week.
