The definition of abstinence is when you don’t have sex. Outercourse is other sexual activities besides vaginal sex. Sexual abstinence and outercourse can mean different things to different people.
Why does it hurt when I have sex as I age?
With age, the vagina and vaginal opening often become smaller and the vaginal lining becomes thinner — especially when estrogen levels are low. As a result, it can take longer for the vagina to swell and lubricate during sexual arousal. Together these changes can make sex painful.
Is it time to go without sex?
Sometimes going without sex for a while is intentional, and sometimes we’re so caught up in the rest of our lives that we hardly notice we aren’t having any—but life is especially cruel in those phases when the only thing we want is a good roll in the hay and it’s nowhere to be found.

What can I do to relieve vaginal pain after sex?
Foreplay helps stimulate natural lubrication. Ensure proper lubrication. Try an over-the-counter lubricant, such as Astroglide or K-Y lubricating jelly. If sex remains painful, ask your doctor about vaginal estrogen therapy — available as a vaginal cream, tablet or ring — or other treatment options. Try various positions.
