Meghan Trainor Just Opened Up About Her Decision To Speak Publicly About Her Painful Sex Struggle, Despite Her Comments Being Taken Out Of Context

The singer was opening up about a medical condition that she suffers from called vaginismus, which is a pelvic floor condition that causes involuntary contractions that can lead to painful intercourse as well as general pelvic pain.

It is estimated to impact up to 1 in 10 women worldwide, but is rarely discussed and often under-diagnosed. 

“I was told I have something called vaginismus,” Meghan shared at the time. “I thought that every woman walking around was always in pain during and after sex. I was like, ‘Doc, are you telling me that I could have sex and not feel a single bit of pain?’”

She added that she found penetrative sex with Daryl — who she called a “big boy” — so painful that she could hardly walk afterwards, and would even have to ice herself post-intercourse. 

A viral Pop Crave tweet read at the time: “Meghan Trainor causes chatter online after discussing her ‘painful’ sex with ‘big boy’ husband Daryl Sabara, revealing that she ‘can’t walk’ after sex: ‘[It’s] to the point where I’m like, ‘Is it all in?’ and he’s like, ‘Just the tip.’ And I’m like, ‘I can’t do anymore.’ I don’t know how to fix that.’”

The tweet has been seen almost 28 million times and racked up 10s of thousands of retweets and comments as people expressed their shock at Meghan’s honesty and accused her of oversharing. 

“And he is a big boy!” Meghan then added. “But I actually had something going on with my hoo-ha, [vaginismus] and also my vestibule, because of all the hormones of pregnancy. It was not infected, but it’s all wrong where it feels like glass.”

Meghan explained that after the “nightmare” diagnosis, she was prescribed a testosterone cream that she had to apply to her vestibule, which are nerves on either side of the entrance to the vagina. 

“Your chemicals are all messed up down there because of your hormones from pregnancy, and I was like, I have to tell someone!” she said of her decision to speak out publicly. “I thought I was just super small and uncomfortable.”
