Secret 1: The vagina "lengthens" under sexual stimulation.
Under normal conditions, the average length of the vagina is 8.5 cm to 12 cm. "After sexual stimulation, the vagina will deform and increase to twice its original size," recommends Lisa Ran, a gynecologist and author of "Things You Can Only Ask Your Gynecologist." Sufficient foreplay can further expand the "capacity" of the vagina and also enhance sexual sensation.
Secret 2: Being appropriately busy is healthier
Regular sexual activity not only keeps women young but also promotes vaginal health. This is because sex exercises the vaginal muscles, helping to maintain their tightness. Additionally, the more lubrication produced before sex due to arousal, the less likely vaginal injury will occur during intercourse.
Secret 3: Wrinkles can also appear in the vagina.
A woman's vulva changes with age. Decreasing estrogen levels cause the labia to become less full, fat pads to atrophy, and collagen loss to cause the labia to sag and develop wrinkles. These are normal physiological changes and do not significantly affect sexual sensation.
Secret 4: Ejaculation can also occur through the vagina during orgasm.
“This is a skill that needs to be learned to master. Once women understand the mechanisms of their bodies, vaginal ejaculation during orgasm becomes very common. There are many glands around the urethra, especially when the anterior vaginal wall is stimulated, they secrete fluid,” says Professor Beverly Whipple of the Department of Sexual Health Research at the School of Nursing, Rutgers University. This area, composed of glands, blood vessels, nerves, and cavernous tissue, can be described as “the woman’s prostate.”
Secret 5: Not all vaginas have a hymen.
Some women don't bleed on their wedding night but are mistakenly accused of having sex, casting a shadow over their marriage. In reality, some women are born without a hymen. Others have a hymen that is too thick, requiring surgical removal.
In addition, the hymen is usually attached to the opening of the vagina and is easily damaged. For example, exercising and inserting tampons can damage it.
Secret 6: Childbirth will increase "her" size by 5 times.
Normally, the vagina is no more than one inch in diameter. But before the baby is born, the vagina can incredibly expand to four to five inches wide to allow the baby's head to pass through. However, about six weeks after childbirth, the vagina will (or almost will) return to its pre-pregnancy size.
Secret 7: The vagina doesn't change much after childbirth.
The changes in the appearance and tissues of the vagina after childbirth are actually far less obvious than women realize. From an external perspective, unless there was tearing during delivery, few people can tell from appearance whether a woman has given birth. Some women do experience vaginal sagging and noticeable loosening after childbirth. Lisa Lan suggests that these women can strengthen their pelvic floor muscles by contracting them for a few seconds each time, repeating more than 10 times.
Secret 8: She makes sounds during sex.
The vagina can also make sounds during sex, mainly due to the way the partner enters. If he thrusts deeply each time, air will inevitably leak in during the intervals between thrusts. When air is forced out of a relatively enclosed environment, it will naturally make a sound.
