I'm really concerned because my girlfriend is a virgin, and when we tried to have sex yesterday, I could only insert about 14 centimeters before something seemed to be blocking it. Gently moving further was painful for her, and it felt like something was obstructing. What could this be? Can you help us understand what's going on and what we should do?
