Ok, first of all I am a virgin. When I am aroused, I can only insert one finger. It feels like I can's fit it in the opening. Is this because my hymen needs to be stretched? And once the hymen is stretched, will it go back to normal afterwards? Like will be inserting one finger still feel good, or will it be differant after. Anything you can tell me would be great.

Hi goddessofcool, welcome!

Hymens can differ greatly between women varying from thick and inelastic to thin and stretchy or sometimes none at all. Often the hymen opening can be stretched by gently inserting larger and larger objects over time. The nerves that provide the pleasurable sensation when you insert a finger are in the vaginal walls not the hymen so pleasure should not be diminished if your hymen is stretched. Here is more information about the hymen: http://www.the-clitoris.com/n_html/n_hymen.htm and for information about masturbation see: http://www.the-clitoris.com/n_html/n_masturb.htm Before you become sexually active it would be a very good idea to have a pelvic exam to make sure everything is ok and that your hymen won’t present a problem during penetrative sex. Thanks for posting. Keep in touch and let us know how you’re doing.

Take care,

      Jill

But once I stretch it out, will it always be bigger? Or will it become more elastic?
