- So, his mom pulls into the driveway.
He starts freaking out,
so I have to sneak through this second floor window
to get out. No joke.
- Oh, that's amazing.
- It really is. What about you?
Do you have a good first time story?
(loud music)
- The same, really.
(loud music)
Ow!
Painful and unmemorable.
- I feel that. Thank god it gets better.
- Ow.
(gasp)
No, no, no.
Stop, stop.
- Only heavy conversations for brunch.
- Might as well refill. Let's get drunk.
- I just don't understand why sex is so painful for me.
- There's lube.
- Past sexual trauma?
- Dilators.
- Just, you know.
- Have you tried relaxing?
- Just relax.
- Relax.
- [Voice On TV] Well, second of all,
you can totally fuck Larry.
- What is wrong with me?
- ♫ Figure it out
- You're having sex!
- So, how does it feel to be a cannibal?
- Uh, a cannibal?
- A chicken eating a chicken.
Pretty messed up if you ask me.
- And I'm a chicken because?
- You haven't kissed me yet.
(romantic slow music)
- So beautiful.
- Uh, try a different position?
- Physical therapy.
- Let's run some other tests.
- Just to be clear, no sexual trauma?
- Okay, yeah, lube.
- Lube.
- Dilators.
- Maybe a glass of wine.
- Have you tried relaxing?
- Try really hard to just relax.
- Ay yi yi.
- Endometriosis, vulvodynia, and vaginismus.
(sad music)
- [Woman On TV] There's no cure.
- Well, I won't accept that.
- You have to forget me, John.
You need a woman who can give you the life you deserve.
- I don't want the woman, you hear me?
I want you. Dammit, I want you.
- I may never have sex, John.
My vagina's often in a lot of pain,
especially when penetrated.
It can be excruciating.
- What are you saying?
- We may never have a normal sex life.
I may never be able to make love to you under the stars
or go at it like rabbits in an HBO Limited series.
- What?
- Shh. Can you love me, John?
Can you love a woman like me?
- Uh...
- This whole depression thing is getting kind of old.
Your whole life isn't dictated by sex.
- That's easy for you to say.
You're not the one icing your vagina every night.
- Go out! See your friends! Have fun!
- Why? So I can listen to them talk about
their relationship problems and
try not to think about my vagina?
- So you can meet a real man
who doesn't give a damn about your condition.
- There is no man like that.
- Well, with that kind of attitude.
- Look, I don't want to live with this the rest of my life,
so how can I expect someone else to want to?
You have no idea what this is like,
to think about your future and
see yourself alone and in pain.
- A bit dramatic.
- She's a writer.
- I can't keep disappointing people,
and I can't keep spending thousands of dollars on
physical therapy, hoping for a cure that doesn't exist.
- So stop hoping. Start living.
You are not your pain.
- We should get a dog.
- Absolutely not.
- That's the best you have right now?
- Did they ever bring that syrup over or?
- Oh, you never told us about that date you had.
- [Several Friends] Yeah, how was it?
- It was fine.
- Just fine?
- Yeah, I mean, nothing special.
- Girl, you never give us details. Spill the deets.
- I mean, where did you go? What did you do?
When did you cum?
- After I go on dates, y'all can't get me to shut up.
- I actually told him that I can't have sex with him,
so it was a little downhill from there.
- Why would you do that?
- I mean, because it's true.
I can't. It's really painful for me.
- Is that because of your condition?
- Yeah.
- Shoot. I mean, I knew it made your periods bad,
but I didn't know it affected your sex life like that.
- Yeah, honestly, it affects everything.
- My sister, she has something similar.
She goes to a support group for it sometimes.
Y'all should meet. I think it'd be really helpful.
- Yeah, that'd be great.
Thank you.
- I'm sorry.
- Where's that syrup?
I wanna put it on my eggs like a nasty person.
(slow music)
- What if I break your heart?
- What if I break yours first?
- How about no one breaks anyone's heart
and I get to that person under all that leather?
And layers of self defense?
- Even though we might never have conventional sex?
- I've never been very conventional.
- Even though I'm a bundle of anxiety
when it comes to intimacy?
- I like you, Lara. I'm not going anywhere.
This doesn't hurt, does it?
- It's super painful, but if you play your cards right,
you can help me ice later.
- Deal.
