is called “vaginal tenting.” It’s a magical process because by making more space in the vagina, sex can feel more comfortable and pleasurable for many women who need a little more than three or four inches of space in order to accommodate their partner’s penis or a favorite sex toy. This is one reason why spending more time in fore-play can help to make sexual intercourse with a penis or sex toy feel better. If a woman spends very little time in foreplay, her vagina might not have time to tent, and her vagina may feel unusually small, or the couple’s genital fit may feel cramped for space. When a woman allows her body time to go through the process of vaginal tenting, there is the possibility that more space in the vagina will be created and that the couple’s genital fit will be more comfortable.
    HOW DO VAGINAS FEEL?
    We can describe this all we want, but the only way to really get a sense is to feel your own vagina (if you have one) or to feel the vagina of a partner who is not only willing but who wants your finger or fingers in her vagina. You should never, of course, make someone feel bad for not wanting to do something sexual that you want to do.
    So how do vaginas feel? Some might say “warm, wet, and a little bit bumpy.” Vaginas—like some potato chips—have ridges in them, and yet, unlike potato chips, they tend to be warm and wet. Depending on a woman’s age, the phase of her menstrual cycle (assuming she’s still menstruating and has not yet reached menopause), and whether she is sexually aroused or not, a woman’s vagina may feel slightly wet or very wet. Vaginal discharge may be clear and egg white-like in appearance, or it may be more thin and slick. Check it out and see what it feels like to you. In Debby’s studies of men’s and women’s attitudes toward women’s genitals (which is different than female genital self-image, described below), the majority of college students surveyed said that women’s genitals felt good to touch.
    VAGINA FACTS
    There are a few more things you should know about the vagina in order to be well versed on the topic. For one, you should know that in addition to the way the vagina changes size during arousal, it can also change in structure with age. Specifically, the vagina typically rests at a 130-degree angle inside of pre-menopausal women’s bodies. However, as women go through menopause, their bodies change and the vaginal angle flattens a bit, which may make vaginal intercourse feel different to women as they age and go through menopause.
    Another important fact is that the vagina is a discreet space. The vagina starts at the vaginal opening and ends at the cervix, which is the opening to the uterus. The cervix has a very small opening in it, and there’s not much other than fluids that can pass through it to go between the vagina and the uterus. Semen, of course, can pass through the cervix, as can menstrual fluids. And of course when a woman goes through labor to deliver a baby, then the baby can pass through the dilated cervix, but that is a very special circumstance. On a daily basis, the cervix is a small opening to the vagina, and the vagina remains a discreet space that’s just three to four inches when unaroused and about two or three inches longer when aroused.
    Why is this an important vagina fact to know? It means that objects such as condoms and diaphragms can’t get “lost” inside the vagina. If a condom slips off a man’s penis during sex and gets stuck in the vagina, then the woman or her partner can insert their fingers into her vagina to remove the condom. If they cannot find it, then the woman can ask a healthcare provider for help removing it (objects should always be removed from the vagina rather than left there as gravity will not draw them out on their own). By using her own fingers or getting help from her partner or healthcare provider, a woman should be able to retrieve anything else that she has put up there (though we
