perineum cuts after sex

after i have sex w/my boyfriend, i have these cuts on my perineum.   It looks like paper cuts almost.  i think it may have something to do w/his penis being a bit girthy, does anyone else have this problem? also, im having vaginal discomfort afterwards if we have sex for a second time. it's almost like a burning sensation right at the vaginal opening. It could result from not being lubricated enough but i am lubricated and it just doesn't make sense to me. help!

I just very recently noticed the same thing and I first thought I was spotting a bit but when I checked it was what would appear as tiny little paper cuts causing some very minor bleeding and very little discomfort. I also felt as though it was my partners size and possibly the position in which we had sex. It seemed to be gone the next day and no problems since. I would imagine you could probably just try using a little baby oil or vaseline if you dont want the expense of special creams. Personally if this does continue I will most likely just use neosporin and talk to my doctor about it. Good Luck!

Thank god i am not the only one suffering from this.  I have had this continously now for 6 months.  Every time i have sex with my boyf i cannot have it again for at least a week as the cuts and entrance to the vagina are so sore.  We have tried KY Jelly, baby oil to no prevail.  Any other suggestions other than hydrocortisone?

i have experienced the same problem...i have three or so cuts on the perineal area as well and its painful only during intercourse. they look like tiny little gashes and are pinkish colored...i guess thats from blood maybe....when i wipe sometimes i get little spots of blood on the toilet paper...i have no idea how it could have happened so im going to go to the doctor...it might be from an allergic reaction to condoms...ive had yeast and bacterial infections before in the vagina...but i have never experienced any cuts or irritations on this particular area.

The same thing happens to me and it hurts like hell.  I thought I started getting these papercut like things because I was on antibiotics for a long time.  I put diaper rash cream on and it helps for a few days but now its coming back.  It been a month now.  It hurts especially when i pee.  
Kristys when you go to the doctor, or anyone for that matter, about this, can you please write a post about what advise you got.  It would help us all!
