Vagina seems too small

Is it possible that my vagina is just too small? Could it be smaller from lack of use?

A vagina that seems too small…

When penetration or sexual tightness problems first become apparent, it is very common for women to wonder if their vagina is too small for intercourse or has become smaller due to lack of use. Problems with penetration or sexual tightness may occur at any time in life, and are most commonly due to vaginismus, although age related issues may contribute.

Women with first-time sex difficulties, difficulties inserting tampons, or difficulties allowing the insertion of a doctor's speculum during pelvic exams, often mistakenly believe their vagina is too small. In the vast majority of these cases, involuntary constrictions of the vaginal muscles due to vaginismus is the sole cause of the problem. The vagina may seem unusually small, even to physicians, but there is no physical abnormality. The constriction of the pubococcygeus (PC) muscles causes the unusual tightness and the appearance of an abnormality.

Young women are often misdiagnosed by health care providers who do not realize it is the underlying muscle constriction making the vagina appear small or unusually tight. Typically, no matter the woman's physical height, size, or age (see below), the vagina is physically able to accommodate a man's penis of any size. In principal, the vagina will widen much larger to accommodate the delivery of a baby during childbirth. It is vaginismus that disables the vagina and causes intercourse attempts to be either impossible, painful, or difficult (see below for Exceptions.)

Don't Use Porn Movies in Real Sex

Porn Moves You Should Never Use In Real Life

By Sarah Stefanson

Unfortunately for their female partners, many young men these days learn what to do in the bedroom by watching pornography. Let’s be clear about this right off the bat: Porn stars are not real people. What looks like a great idea on video may not translate well into a real-life sexual encounter with your girlfriend. There are some common porn moves you should never use in real life, and we've decided it's time we let you know what they were -- just in case you get any bright ideas later on tonight.

The Dick Slap

Male porn stars seem to have a compulsive need to slap their members against things. One possible explanation for the porn actor grabbing his shaft and banging it against a woman’s butt, breasts or face is that it helps him stay hard; essentially, acting as his own "fluffer" during the scene. Perhaps it could also be a method of degrading his partner by slapping her in the face with his powerful man member. No matter the reasoning behind it, this is a porn move you should never use in real life -- at least not without due warning and the right partner. If you’re having trouble staying hard, give yourself a few strokes with your hand or, better yet, ask her to help you out with her mouth.

The Facial

In porn movies, the most important scene is the one that contains the “money shot.” The moviemakers know their viewers want to see the moment of orgasm, and they usually want to see it all over the woman’s back, butt, chest or face. First of all, you should never, ever ejaculate anywhere on your partner without giving her prior warning. Also, the average girl does not like ejaculate on her face -- back, butt and breasts, fine. However, getting seminal fluid in the eye is not a good feeling, and it takes forever to get it out of her hair, so be considerate and make sure this is a porn move you never use in real life.

10 Sex Tools Every Woman Needs

10 Sex Tools Every Woman Needs

Psst! Want to supercharge your sex life? We have the scoop on the bedroom essentials that will rock your world. (Bonus: You have most of them already!)

By Allison Young

1. A Pillow

A well-placed pillow can help you get into new positions and add sexy variety to old favorites. Try tucking a pillow under your butt in missionary position, says Mabel Iam, author of Sex and the Perfect Lover. Or put it between your legs while spooning. Of course, it also works the traditional way: under your head.

2. A Vibrator

The question isn't why get a vibrator; it's why not? You can use one on your own to explore what feels good, or with your partner to add a new dimension to sex together. Women who use vibrators report higher levels of sexual satisfaction with their partners, increased libido, and easier orgasms, according to research by REDBOOK Love Network expert Laura Berman, Ph.D. If you're a newbie, try a discreet vibrator like the LAYAspot. "It fits in the palm of your hand, and it also easily fits between you and your partner for stimulation during intercourse," says sex expert Emma Taylor (a.k.a. Em). Lo (Lorelei Sharkey), Em's writing partner, suggests the Fukuoku 9000, which fits onto his (or your) finger. Or go to goodvibes.com for a guide on picking the right vibrator for you (click on "Sex Toys 101" under "Pleasure Principles").

3. A Lube You Love

Not only does lube make everything glide more smoothly, it can also help make sex last longer (because you won't dry out) and make it easier to try different positions. To find one, sample as many as you can, says sexologist Pepper Schwartz, Ph.D., author of Prime: "It's a very personal thing, and the fun is in finding one that you love and your body loves." Water-based lubes (like Pink Water) are best if you're worried about allergies, while silicone-based varieties (such as Pjur Eros Original Bodyglide) last longer. Mix things up with formulas that tingle or warm (like K-Y Touch Massage 2-in-1 Warming). You can even find organic and natural lubricants (such as Good Clean Love or Oceanus Carrageenan). To read user reviews of all these lubes — and more! — and buy them online, go to babeland.com or drugstore.com.

4. Just-for-fun Toys

Whether they're tame (feather ticklers, whipped cream) or not so tame (fuzzy cuffs, whips), playful props add excitement to the mix. To see what tickles your fancy, take a field trip to an adult shop, or browse an online retailer like babeland.com or goodvibes.com.

Vaginismus

When Sex Hurts

Thousands of married women suffer from undiagnosed vaginismus—but there is hope.
Kate Cardwell

What happens when the process of "becoming one" in marriage brings pain, not pleasure? Or when every attempt at intercourse induces intense burning and the sensation of being torn apart inside? Many women live with an invisible handicap that robs them and their spouse of the enjoyment of sexual intercourse. It's called vaginismus, and it's possibly the most common cause of female sexual pain you've never heard of.

Commonly misdiagnosed, vaginismus is the involuntary and unconscious spasm of the muscles surrounding the vagina, making penetration painful or impossible. Estimates suggest that in North America alone, hundreds of thousands of women suffer from vaginismus to some degree. Statistics are hard to gather because many never come forward due to shame and embarrassment. Victims suffer in silence for years, never realizing they can find help.

My journey with vaginismus began 12 years ago. My husband, Brian*, and I had been married eight years when I gave birth to our second child. Labor was traumatic, and the baby was finally taken by C-section. After my recovery and with two babies in the house, my husband and I were tired but eager to resume the joy and comfort of intimacy.

Sex Hormones in Men and Women

Hormone Replacement Therapy

Women's bodies produce two sex hormones, estrogen and progesterone, and men's bodies produce testosterone, which is also found in small amounts in women. As women and men get older, the level of sex hormones in the body drops. For women this leads to the menopause, usually in the mid to late 50s. The ending of monthly periods is a well known sign of the menopause. For men the decline in hormone level starts in the mid 20s and continues throughout life. It is not marked by any special event.

In women there can be unpleasant symptoms like night sweats, hot flushes, headaches, tiredness, loss of confidence, and others. It is easy to have the hormones raised, by taking them in tablet form, patches or implants. This has to be prescribed by a doctor, and there are side effects and risks, as well as great benefits. There are natural hormone replacements as well, and a herbalist or naturopath would advise you.

In men the picture is different. Lower levels of hormone can cause tiredness, reduced sex drive, reduction of erections, and other problems. Men sometimes mistakenly believe that by replacing testosterone, they will be restored. This is not correct, and taking testosterone in the wrong conditions is positively dangerous. Hormones for men are only given after checking the levels, and in particular cases.

Sex Problem from Biology perspective

Bacterial Solutions to the Problem of Sex

J. Arjan G. M. de Visser

“Why sex?” is a question that has occupied the minds of evolutionary biologists for more than a century. The evolution of organisms that mix their genes during reproduction is considered one of the major transitions in evolution [1], because it fundamentally changed how genes are transmitted to the next generation. In asexual reproduction, offspring inherit a more or less unaltered genome from the parent. In sexual reproduction, genetic material is first reduced in the gametes (sperm or ovaries) and then fused with that of another individual, before new offspring may develop. Sexual reproduction has led to the evolution of males and females with different and sometimes even opposing reproductive interests and behavior. The consequence of sex, which many evolutionary biologists think explains its existence, is the production of genetic variation by mixing genes from different individuals.

Nineteenth-century German biologist August Weismann [2] was the first to realize that sex can produce variation and that variation allows organisms to better respond to selection. Three models have since been proposed as general explanations for the advantages of sex by elaborating Weismann's idea: (i) sex facilitates adaptation to a novel environment by combining beneficial gene variants, or alleles, from different genomes (Fisher-Muller (FM) model [3,4]); (ii) sex helps organisms stay adapted to existing environmental conditions by combining and efficiently removing deleterious alleles (mutational deterministic (MD) model [5]); or—a combination of these two ideas—(iii) sex helps to liberate beneficial alleles from linked deleterious alleles in the genome in which they arose (mutational load (ML) model [6,7]).
