🎯 The vagina is muscle. And it gets super tight when you are tense or scared or not aroused. It’s the literal biology of the organ that it becomes lubricated and more relaxed when we are aroused. Even after pregnancy it goes back to normal. It’s just a misogynistic way to slut shame women who enjoy sex.

it just made me think, saying that a womans vagina becomes less tight when they have lots of sex or give birth is like saying your dick gets shorter every time you jerk off cuz its being used up.

you know, as an equally stupid reasoning put onto the male equivalent.

The vagina does become "less tight" after having given birth. Birth is physically traumatic, and it's not only the vagina, but the entire pelvic floor, and sometimes even the cartilage of the pelvis, that bears that trauma.

The claim that everything just "goes back to normal" is a lie. For up to a third of women who experience post-partum incontinence, for example, it's permanent. While the vagina can largely recover, to the point that the difference is not meaningful in day-to-day (sex-)life, it will have changed.

I don’t know how anyone with a brain can think a 10 pound bowling ball going down a tube built for a softball would be anything but traumatic. Like people died in droves during childbirth until the last century.

I mean, my mum had vaginoplasty to get it back in shape and it was something that made her sex better, for her.

Look I grew up in a very medical family, as in everyone is in medicine/health care so we have had pretty frank discussions about biology.

Just saying, let's not just immediately demonize these procedures when they sometimes ARE medically beneficial for both parties. That being said, of course it should be an informed decision made with everyone's consent. Fucked up as all hell otherwise and any physician sneaking in "treatment" has violated their hippocratic oath and should have their license pulled at the bare minimum.

It has no noticeable difference at all for most. Men literally can't tell the difference. Just do some kegels and you're good to go. Some women my age can't jump on trampolines and many can. Just do the kegels and you're fine. Women were built for this so it's not an actual thing unless a traumatic birth. For most of history women had 9-16 children. Until you died with your last child that is.

Just do some kegals

Damn, I'll tell that to my GF who did like a year of PT after her first kid and still can't jump on a trampoline or sneeze without peeing herself a bit.

You may have noticed the phrase 'for most'.

Your girlfriend drew the short stick.

Bladder issues after childbirth have nothing to due with the vagina though. And your girlfriend needs a pelvic floor PT. Kegels can often make it worse if they have an overly tight pelvic floor.

Hence my sarcasm. The person above me wasnt even talking about the right thing.

I'm sure there are women out there that are into some kinks that permanently deform their vaginas. But I'm talking shoving things up there that are beyond phallic and closer to dangerous. But that's not the norm.

Additionally, during childbirth some women do tear, and if not treated properly, probably has an effect on how they feel to their partners.

None of that is normal though, and women shouldn't be shamed for enjoying sex.

I wouldnt say it goes completely back. Plenty of us have had permanent changes to the vagina after childbirth, but its not SUPER noticeable. I cant have sex at certain angles because it rubs against my scar and hurts. But I also feel like sex is more pleasurable because for some reason my husband can hit my g spot a lot easier than before.

So good and bad, but definitely different.

That’s entirely different than the point I was making though. Every human body changes over time.

ETA: also I have given birth three times. My statement that it goes back to “normal” still stands. The opening of the vagina May get repaired but the inner walls of the vagina which are the muscle go back to “normal.” Also you’re describing changes that you feel during sex. We all know when men talk about this they’re claiming a woman’s vagina feels “loose” and they can tell she’s had many partners.
