Try new positions that don't allow him to go too deep. I always thought that  laying sideways is a good way to be comfortable and painless.

Semen has a hormone called prostaglandin that induces contractions. The after pains you may be feeling could be due to small but harmless contractions, going too deep, or the uterus getting heavier. Some people use condoms during this time to prevent the semen from reaching the cervix. This is just a comfort thing. Contractions are totally harmless.
