What is normal for vaginas?

[clueless_virgin]

Hi, I've lurked here for a couple of weeks and only decided to join today. I've learned a lot from reading, but now I'd like to ask what will probably sound like a really stupid question - please forgive my ignorance and be nice!

How much is a vagina supposed to stretch? I mean, what is normal in terms of the uh diameter of what will fit in there? Obviously it must vary from person to person like everything else, but what's normal?

With enough patience you can fit just about anything.

As far as how much it is "supposed" to stretch... It's made to be a birth canal, so it's made to drop a 10lb baby. (granted it will never be the same afterwards!)

Assuming it's wet and fired up, something an inch diameter should fit comfortably for any woman who does not have an intact hymen. Less than that is cause to ask your gynecologist. Most penises are in the 1 1/2 inch to 2 inch range, and the wider ones are a bit of a stretch for a woman who hasn't been penetrated in a while, but become comfortable if the woman is penetrated regularly. During childbirth a whole baby fits there but there are special hormones at work then, and the vagina does not remain that wide. With training/practice most women are capable of being fisted or taking a 3 inch wide dildo without pain, but most women never go through that kind of training practice because there's not a lot of reason to do so.

As S&S said, the vagina is designed to accommodate birth, given that you can conceivably (no pun intended ) accommodate something up to 6 or 7 inches in diameter.

This, of course, is to the extreme side and to a particular instance under particular circumstances, however, if you are to believe some of the conversations that occur here at Lit you would know that some men have the girth of a Coke can. I personally have never seen such a thing ( and yes I'm male ), but I won't judge.

There are a plethora of topics here that have to do with penis size. The gauntlet runs from the miniscule, to the average, to God-like.

Do you have a question that is more specific? Are you a virgin? Are you interested in larger men/objects?

Welcome, C_V! Hopefully you enjoy your time here and learn a ton! I think you'll find How To'ers in particular to be generally very helpful, nice people. We all have our moments and most of us don't support anything that involves harming others (e.g. cheating, lying, being disrespectful, trying to force a partner into something, doing things unsafely), violating the site rules, personal attacks, etc., but if you continue observing and make genuine posts, I'm sure you'll have a good time.

I know you said you've been lurking, but if you haven't done so already, you may want to check out The Blank Manual and FAQs - Read Before Posting Help Questions stickies. The FAQ sticky in particular answers most of the questions newbies tend to have, and The Blank Manual is a great resource for expanding your knowledge on all sorts of topics.

Eilan has mentioned her ex-husband had Coke can-like girth and discussed how that impacted their sex life.

And of course I second all of the questions you have for the OP!

Really? Because I dropped a 10 pound baby and I feel exactly the same as I did pre-pregnancy. So there goes your theory.

There are totally Coke can sized penises. I've seen one in person. They're just rather rare. Still, if you're talking a really large group of guys like, say, all the guys that work at your local Walmart (probably 150+ guys for a small Super one), you'd probably find a couple really large dicks if you lined them all up and stripped them naked.

Thanks for the info

Thank you so much for your answers! Info like the above is sort of what I was looking for.

Yes, I'm a virgin, and I've only recently started to masturbate, uh, inside. I felt like I should probably be able to fit more so I was curious about what was normal.

Thanks for the welcome, SweetErika! I've definitely been going through some of the Blank Manual threads. I think I've learned more about sex there than from all other sources put together.

Well, you have just only started out. You have to, you know, work up to these things.

Besides, what is it that you're currently putting inside yourself? If it's like a horse-sized monster, then, no, you have nothing to worry about.

The thing about "normal" is that it doesn't exist. It's not a real measure, it's not a real standard, it's just a label we slap onto whatever ends up happening the most. The important question is not really, "What's normal," because the answer almost exclusively concerns other people, and thus has nothing to do with you. The question is, What do you enjoy? There isn't a rule in the Book of Rules somewhere that says, "Women have to be able to accept objects of X inches long and Y inches in diameter in their vaginas, or else." Hell, there isn't a Book Of Rules in the first place. So find whatever pleases you best and be happy with that.

Please get that picture out of my head. Please.

Whatever guy you end up being with, you'll figure out how to make it work. Sometimes it takes a bit of adjustment.

I have been with two girls (not at the same time, I should add!) who were essentially virgins (as in had sex maybe 1 time before, years before) and found it to be so painful they didn't want to go back for more. A lot of patience, foreplay with fingers, lube, and very very very slow sex was required but after a while everything fit perfectly and everyone was (more than) happy. So good luck, don't stress

Long and thin
Goes right in
Doesn't please the ladies.
Short and thick
Does the trick
Brings out healthy babies.



That piece of doggerel was allegedly by Robbie Burns, but perhaps there is some truth in it

 

[Scotsman69]

No way

Burns ever wrote such doggerel.

I defer to your superior knowledge, Scotsman, but I still think there may be some truth in it, whoever the author was
