Daoust- Martel and I talked about this last night (it's so wonderful to have a budding Psychologist for a husband!) and he said that for most women, the causes of vaginismus aren't on the "surface" of conscience thought. So, perhaps during the ordeal of your wife's pregnancy, and the subsequent pain and scarring of childbirth, some wires deep in her psyche got connected and somewhere in there her body associates things going in/out of her vagina with terrible pain and malady. This won't be something she's actively thinking, but something that her body is reacting to. Did she have vaginismus before she had a baby? I think that the changes in her (and her body's) reaction to sex from before to after she had a baby will be a big clue in figuring out what's going on. Doing some sleuthing will probably leave you and your wife with a better idea of how to help her. Do keep us posted!
