      Question: After I went to college, the topics of men and women, sex and desire were often discussed in the “bedtime talks” in the girls’ dormitories. We were not in love at that time, and everyone was curious about what a man's "brother" looked like when he had an erection. One girl jokingly said, look at bananas, they are said to be like that. While everyone was laughing, I felt a little scared. If that were the case, how could such a big thing be inserted into the vagina? Later, I got a boyfriend, and when we wanted to take a step further in our sweetness, I was so scared that I became extremely sensitive to pain. My boyfriend exerted a little force, which made me feel unbearable pain, and my vaginal opening felt like it was about to burst. Could it be that the vagina is small? female , will it really affect the quality of sex life?

      Answer: The "vagina" you refer to probably refers to the vaginal opening, because how can you measure the vaginal size yourself? A recent special report on female vulva structure and sexual life concluded that female vulva structure has little to do with female sexual function. Female sexual function is mainly determined by psychological factors rather than physiological structure.

      Normally, a woman's vagina is 7-12 centimeters long and wide enough to accommodate two fingers. The vaginal wall has many horizontal wrinkles and is highly stretchable and elastic. During excitement, the vaginal depth increases by 1/3 and the width also increases, so there is generally no mismatch of organs. We can often see a tall husband with a petite wife, and their sex life is equally harmonious ; People of many different races in the world can also get married and have children. ; When a woman gives birth, her diameter reaches 10 centimeters fetus The head can also pass through the vagina. These can make us imagine how accommodating the female vagina is, so your worries in this regard are completely unnecessary. The pain experienced by women during first-night sexual intercourse is mostly caused by psychological stress, lack of experience and other factors, and is generally not directly related to the organ itself.
