Hello,
The various reasons for pain during intercourse in females are lack of enough lubrication, vaginismus or spasm of pelvic muscles during intercourse, female having any infections in vagina, anxiety issues, or when not in mood for intercourse.
Just make sure she wants to have intercourse with you and not forcing herself. Make sure she doesn't have any infection by asking for symptoms like vaginal discharge and itching or burning Make sure she is not anxious at that time. Most of the times, it's the female factors that cause pain and not male factors if it is consensual sex. Still, if she continues to have pain, you can consult a gynecologist for further evaluation.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
