Let's toss out the idea of being "tight" because you haven't done anything with anybody else. Sex of any sort (manual sex, intercourse, or whatever else) doesn't permanently change the dimensions of one's vagina. So thinking that people who haven't engaged in vaginal or manual sex are tighter than...

You know, I always feel for heterosexual or bisexual folks when they clearly have paid attention to this stuff, done the reading or just talked to women, put it all together and have that "Whoah!" moment about this issue. With so many people reared to think that male-female vaginal intercourse is...

You know, it actually isn't "cute" to not understand your own body. It's pretty tragic, and for the person who doesn't understand, it doesn't tend to feel cute. It can even feel pretty scary, especially if and when you're doing things -- or someone else is -- with that anatomy you can't or don't...

Congratulations, you're totally normal! It's strange the way that we often have expectations about the way things "should feel" or "should work" that are totally in opposition to the way that our bodies are made. The vagina itself is not particularly rich in nerve endings. Even more specifically...

Wearing tampons when you aren't menstruating isn't a good idea in terms of risks of TSS and uncomfortable vaginal dryness, but doing so won't have any sort of permanent effects on the vagina. Same goes with having intercourse: the vagina is a muscle, and use of it doesn't cause atrophy -- that doesn...

It sounds like he's ramming into your cervix. A lot of people with vaginas really don't like that 'cause it can be painful. Look at this diagram from Innies & Outies and notice how the vagina ends at the tip of the cervix. The vagina is only about 4 or 5 inches deep, so if a penis is longer than...

Here's the thing: when a person with a vagina is sexually aroused, in general, yheir vagina self-lubricates (becomes more wet), their clitoris and parts of the vulva become more erect, and the vaginal opening and vaginal canal relax and expand (become looser). So, to ask to be wet AND "tight" is a...

I get the feeling you (and your friend) are misunderstanding some things about your anatomy. Here is our article on the female genital anatomy, and you may find keeping the window open so you can see the illustrations helpful while I try and explain things better for you. For starters, there isn't...

It's not a bad thing when it isn't a bad thing for you. NO consensual sexual activity is a bad thing, per the activity alone, when everyone involved WANTS to be doing it, and feels good physically and emotionally doing it. But you're right: there are a lot of negative attitudes about anal sex and...

Anal douche is more commonly referred to as an enema. Enemas are solutions that are injected into the lower bowel to induce defecation through one means or another. There are many different kinds of enemas, those including things such as milk and molasses, fleet, cone, etc. Using an enema before...
