  Vaginismus - an involuntary spasm of the vaginal muscles that prevents penetration - has been discussed so little that many women who suffer from it don't recognize their condition by its name. They only know that they cannot tolerate gynaecological examinations or sexual intercourse and often feel that they are missing out on the pleasures of lovemaking and parenting. This is a practical guide which aims to liberate these women from their fears and sense of isolation and help them find the right form of therapy.
