1/3 modern romcom. 1/3 what they didn’t teach you in sex ed. 1/3 kegel jokes.
“Vaginismus is a condition where the muscles surrounding the entrance to the vagina involuntarily tighten, making penetration impossible or painfully uncomfortable.”
To you, this might be a collection of words you’re not used to saying out loud. To Vaginismus.com, it’s an opener. To some women, it’s a very real obstacle to intimacy.
To this play’s protagonist, it’s just a challenge. Brooke gets a diagnosis she doesn’t like. She’s determined to overcome it, using awkward conversations, dating apps, sex toys, friends with benefits, and an obscene amount of that free lube from Planned Parenthood. It may hurt her every step of the way, but hey! At least she’s getting laid, right?
