just lost my virginity, is chafing normal?

Hi i'm 20 and about 2 weeks ago lost my virginity to my boyfriend, since then i have noticed the inside of my labia are really sore with chafing is this normal as far as i can see there are no lumps or bumps the skin just looks a red. i really don't think that an sti is possible as he isn't experiencing any discompfort. obviously i'll go to the doctor if it continues, i've looked on the internet and can't find anything! any ideas? thanks!

Have you had sex since then? Sex can cause chafing, but it's not likely that it would last for two weeks...

It could be an external yeast infection.

yes i've been having regular sex for two weeks, its only started bothering me really since last week we've been using condoms even though i'm on the pill, as for a yeast infection i realise its a possiblity but i've almost ruled it out as have had no unusual discharge
allergic to condoms?
Exactly how much is regular sex?

for a yeast infection you odn't always have all the signs. I had none for an internatal infection yet a swab showed I had a slightly high count of yeast. Hopefully all treated now!

3 or 4 times a day? No wonder you're chafing. If you insist on the 3-4 times a day regime then stock up on KY/ID.

Your doctor will just tell you to keep your knickers on for a few days and/or start using lube.
3 OR 4 TIMES A DAY???? Goodness me, honey, no wonder it hurts. Give yourself a break, girl!!! Cool it, give your body a bit of a rest, spend some quality time with your partner, not having sex. Get some lube that will make the entry a little smoother and might soothe the chafing a bit.
^as foxiroxi said, you don't necessarily have to have discharge to have a yeast infection, could be a mixture of chafing/yeast infection.
or latex allergy
