The Size of the Vagina

We spoke in an earlier thread about penis size, and I appreciate the women stepping forward and being honest about it and how size matters (in certain ways).


I was curious though about the depth and size of the vagina.

Oh, definitely......you can tell vagina size by height and hip size! EXACTLY the way you can tell the size of a penis by the size of a man's feet, or nose!

The size of a vagina varies from woman to woman, in the same way that the size of a penis varies from man to man. And the "average" vagina can expand, both width-wise and depth-wise to accomodate the majority of men, whether they're "average", above or below.

And, vaginas don't get "looser" from use (including giving birth!) any more than a penis gets "limp" or "worn out" from use.

Nope, you sure can't tell by looking. A very small petite woman is just as likely to have a large vagina as a medium to larger-framed woman and visa versa. Just as a short, small-framed man could be packing some major heat.

My comment sounds like the 3 bears story...lol...I`ve had some that were just too tight ,some that were too loose, and most that were just right. Some were shallow and I hit bottom, and some were deep enough where I did not bottom out.
Incidentally, my wife makes the same claims..Some guys were short and thin, one guy was @ 9 inches and hit bottom painfully, and then there are the guys who fit perfectly.(I`m in that category...=)

According to the experts, most vaginas are created equal. They're between 4" & 6" in length....and 0" girth--in it's unaraoused state, the walls are collapsed against one another making for a "potential" space....not a hole.

With that said, I will have to say that from my experience, a woman's state of arousal has more to do with feel than anything else. For instance, my first boyfriend was about 9 or 10" and girthy....and I was a virgin and all of 16 when we began having sex. As big as he was, I barely felt him(girthwise) even after having sex with him for a year. In hindsight, I now know why. I wasn't aroused "enough" because there wasn't enough foreplay(he was young as well). I managed to get aroused enough to lubricate, but not enough to swell and make the vagina tighter. When a woman is fully aroused her vaginal walls become engorged which causes resistance which causes pleasure. I couldn't "feel" him not because I was stretched out or loose, but because I was unaroused or at least not fully aroused. I've been having sex for thirty years, and 27 of them with DH and I can tell you that this phenomenon still occurs. If I'm not aroused enough, I can barely feel him and he's well endowed. If I'm fully aroused, even a finger inserted feels big. Of course there's consistency and amount of lubrication that could also contribute to how intercourse "feels" as well. Couple those two things together and a woman can have a "loose" feeling. Just because a woman is lubricated doesn't mean her vagina is ready for intercourse(a misconception). Even her vulva and clitoris may be engorged, but her vagina is not there yet. I can even have a clitoral orgasm without ever getting fully aroused.

Well...that's my theory. I believe that to be the number one reason why a woman may feel loose--they're not aroused enough. When he enters her, even though it may feel tight at first, her vagina soon accommodates him, but there's not enough blood in the vascular layer below the vaginal walls to create resistance....so she feels hollow.

All vaginas are created equal...according to the experts, but of course just like the penis, the amount of erection will vary.
