Meghan Trainor revealed problem with husband Daryl Sabara's penis that affected their bedroom life
Meghan Trainor has opened up about the painful challenges she has experienced during sex with her husband, Daryl Sabara.
The 'All About the Bass' singer tied the knot with Sabara, 34, on December 22, 2018, in a private backyard ceremony at their Los Angeles home, which also happened to fall on Meghan's 25th birthday.
During the 2023 episode of her Workin' On It podcast, the Grammy-winning artist discussed her struggles with painful intercourse, her husband's manhood, and a medical condition that she said had complicated their sex life.
"My husband is a big boy," the now-32-year-old said to her brother Ryan Trainor and guest Trisha Paytas during the episode.
"My p**** is broken, though. I have p**** anxiety."
Trainor reveals why intimacy with her husband can be painful
During the interview, Paytas asked whether the problem was related to Trainor's anatomy and Sabara's penis size.
The 'No' responded: "Yes!" adding: "To the point where I'm like 'Is it all in?' and he's like, 'Just the tip'...I wish I could make Daryl smaller. It's painful, dude."
She revealed that she went to a doctor and found out that she experiences vaginismus, which is when "the muscles around your vagina tense or contract uncontrollably in response to something trying to go in it," according to the Cleveland Clinic. "This can cause discomfort and pain."
"I was told I have something called vaginismus," she explained.
"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?'"
Singer says she struggled with sex after giving birth
The 'Made You Look' singer also shared that intimacy became even more tricky after she and Sarbara welcomed their five-year-old son Riley in 2021.
She said it took around a year before she felt comfortable having sex again.
"'Do not look at me, do not touch me,'" she recalled. "It took me so long to even consider having sex with him."
Trainor praised Sabara, who is best known for portraying Juni Cortez in Spy Kids, for being a "saint" and remaining patient with her throughout the period of time.
However, even after resuming their sex life, she continued experiencing pain, which she described as "stingy" and "burny."
'I had to ice myself after'
Trainor revealed that the discomfort continued while she and Sabara were trying to conceive their second child, Barry Bruce Trainor, who was born in 2023.
"As he would penetrate, I would be like, 'Ow, ow, ow,' like to the point when I was making this baby, I had to ice myself after," she said. "And we're not crazy, I'm a starfish - I go, 'Get it done.' We're having fun, it's great. Get it done. And then I'm icing myself and I go, 'There's gotta be another way.'"
The 'Me Too' artist shared that she's tried "every angle" and "each one is worse than the other," especially getting on top, which she described as "a nightmare".
She said Sabara has asked her to "try" various sexual positions, but "I'm like, 'Don't look at me. I don't like this. This hurts way worse."
The pain is so bad that it also affects her ability to carry out daily activities afterward.
"I'm like, 'Daryl, I have to work today, and I can't walk,'" she said, revealing that she's even tried transcendental meditation in an attempt to manage the situation, although she had not gotten the relief she hoped for.
"I'm gonna figure it out," Trainor concluded. "I'm gonna be a star at sex."
