“ Most of the time, I don’ t orgasm with penetration and when I do, it’ s too painful to enjoy.”

In a webinar hosted by Endometriosis UK in February 2021, guest speaker Hannah Beecham, Clinical Lead of the Pelvic Health Team and Advanced Physiotherapy Practitioner at the Royal Free London NHS Trust, revealed that the careful use of devices can help relieve tensions in the pelvic floor muscles which“ often tense up and become tight in people who have endometriosis.”
Sayers says that the use of vibrators for her“ helps relax the muscles in the vagina itself and makes having sex slightly more bearable.”
“ It’ s hard to enjoy sex in the same way that I imagine other women do, but I try not to let it get to me,” Sayers explains, leaving us with the wise words:“ I can still be a freak in the sheets in my own way.”
