Can lots of sex increase the size of your vagina?

Can your vagina really be too “large” or is that just a myth? Find more about it and read on.

Women (and men) are often concerned about the size of the vagina. They worry that it’s too large and as a result doesn’t offer as much pleasure as it could. Since women can’t measure their private parts like men, they can’t see whether the size of their vagina has changed, and the issue often remains a mystery. They believe that a large vagina could offer less pleasure (to a man) during sexual intercourse.  There are a number of other things that have an influence on how pleasurable sexual intercourse is, such as the use of condoms and antidepressants, but it’s hardly surprising that women take all the blame and think that the problem is the size of their vagina.

Can the size of your vagina change?

The fact is that most women, at least those who haven’t given birth, don’t have large and loose vaginas. The size of your vagina may change if you’ve lost a lot of weight, had an operation or experienced changes in your hormonal balance. In most cases, the cause is childbirth, but usually the consequences are not as drastic as it might seem at first sight. The vagina is very elastic and in most women it goes back to normal immediately or soon after giving birth. If that’s not the case, you can improve the muscle-tone of your vagina by doing simple Kegel exercises several times a day. There are, though, women who say that the exercises don’t help them at all, even after a few months. If you have the same experience, make sure you’re doing the exercises the right way, before you run to the surgeon and have your vagina surgically reduced. For instance, if you want to intensify your feelings during sexual intercourse, you have to do the exercises with an object in your vagina. There are a number of different weights available, but the best and easiest thing is that you just do Kegel exercises during vaginal sex.

Should you be concerned?

Before you panic that your vagina is too wide, too large or the wrong shape, think of all the different shapes and sizes penises come in. Just as you can’t find two identical penises, it’s unrealistic to expect that your vagina will look like other women’s vaginas. But if you’re still worried that a lot of vaginal thrills may stretch your vagina, you should bear in mind that the vagina is so elastic that most women can give birth without any major problems, several times. And if the size of the vagina doesn’t change after childbirth, do you really think that a couple of average-sized penises can change it?
