3 Vagina Exercises Your Sex Life Will Thank You For
When it comes to the vagina, there are a lot of myths and misconceptions. Some people, for example, believe that vaginas can lose their elasticity and become loose forever. Your vagina is elastic. This means it can stretch to accommodate things coming in think: a penis or sex toy or going out think: a baby. Your vagina may become slightly looser as you age or have children, but overall, the muscles expand and retract just like an accordion or a rubber band.
At times, a woman may notice her vagina feels tighter than usual. Sometimes, these changes may cause a vagina to feel tighter than normal. As a result, some women may think their vagina is too tight, particularly if they experience discomfort or pain during sexual penetration. This belief is misplaced. The pain or discomfort is a symptom of other issues.
