STD........

It is either an allergic reaction to something like latex, a bacterial, or fungal infection. There are few other possibilities for something that wasn't there last night. Call your boyfriend and ask him if his Johnson is twice it's normal size. if he asks why just say you were wondering. You might try cold compresses of cold milk. Look for any critters that may be crawling around and think if you used a new lube.

I would imagine you two were too rough, or played too long. However if your condition does not improve in a few days, go see your gynecologist.

When a person (female) is very aroused, the whole genital area can sometimes get swollen at times. That's normal. And/or if a person has had rough sex (like the person above said as well) or there is a lot of friction (not enough lubrication) it could get swollen for longer and possibly painful. In this case, more lubrication is definitely needed to prevent that.
Here's a link below to a search I just did on Amazon.com of organic personal lubricants - because it is a VERY good idea to use lubricants without harmful and toxic chemicals in them - to try and help with the inflammation you're experiencing as well as keeping out harmful chemicals from getting so easily into your bloodstream via the sensitive vaginal mucous membrane.

If you use condoms start using lambskin or some other kind of 'organic' type for further non-irritation benefits. But keep in mind that a lot of those types will not prevent STD's or HIV just pregnancy. The fibers of these types of condoms is made not as dense so that it's possible that some of the bacteria or virus can penetrate them. In the case needing something to prevent those issues I would suggest then probably having to go with one of the more common condom types that have Nonoxynol-9 in them, sometimes abbreviated as N-9.
With what you said it seems that it is just inflammation from the friction - vaginal membrane tissue if very sensitive and almost always gets affected after sex whether a person physically feels it or not. Don't let this scare you out of having sex. Everything will be fine. If for whatever reason it does not clear up within a week and/or if you begin to itch or have discharge for a week or more see a public health nurse or a regular doc if you have one.
Take care and have fun!
