(With apologies to The Smiths for the thread title…)
Penis size gets discussed with some frequency 'round these parts, but there has never been much chatter about the size of women’s vaginas. They do seem to come in a wide array of sizes, from my modest experience in these matters.
I should put all pretense aside and mention, in all candor, that I am of average length, and somewhat larger than average girth (according to Masters and Johnson). Nothing to be ashamed of, but I suppose I will never be a porno star, either.
I have experienced a range in women’s sizes from painfully small to (how to put this politely) roomy. And that is among women who have never borne children. In a couple of cases, the size difference, one way or the other, was enough to severely detract from the pleasure of sex.
This would seem a good argument for pre-marital sex. Imagine getting into a marriage and only then finding out that you have a poor fit.
Your opinions, anecdotes? Am I looking at this all wrong? I mean, I know there are ahem procedures available to correct some of the problems. But still…
I knew a girl with a clitoris about the size of the last joint of her pinky finger - that was kinda odd, every other girl I had felt there had one no larger than a pimple.
I’ve experienced some variation in capaciousness, as well. One girl I could barely get two fingers in, another I had no problem getting four with the thumb wedge in-between them - I think I probably could have tone past the knuckles, but was afraid I might get my hand stuck.
I’m well aware of the size differences, although my own experience is likewise limited. One female I know describes herself as painfully tight, so much so that she darn near lacerates her husband’s unit when she has an orgasm. Another friend in high school described his first sexual experience thusly: “like walking into a warm room with my zipper open.”
So long as you’re not too close to either extreme, you’re fine with me.
And thank you spoke- for bringing the Smiths song and constant giggles into my head. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to listen to it without laughing again. Anything else in my life you’d like to ruin?
Yeah Badtz Maru, I have noticed the differences in clitoris size, too, although that is not really an issue for me.
As far as capaciousness goes (good word, there, BTW), the great majority seem to be somewhere in that comfortable middle range. There are just a few at either end of the range that can be, uh, problematic.
I have found that there is some correlation between vaginal size and the size of the woman’s hips - meaning that if she has nice, wide child-bearing hips, she tends to be a little, uh, bigger, than those women with narrower hips. It doesn’t seem to have anything to do with her overall physical size, just the width of the pelvic area. I may very well be wrong - this is just from personal experience, as well as some interesting conversations with female friends of mine.
From what I understand, wider hips supposedly make childbirth easier (if that’s possible…I don’t think I could ever handle what so many women do). If that’s the case, then I suppose a larger opening would also be part of the package.
It also seems that, just as there is a wide variance in penis size, so too are there differences with clitoris, labia and vulva size in women. Some are neat and trim, some are a nice and meaty mouthful. Ooops. Guess I gave away a personal preference, huh? Anyway, we all know about guys being checked for hand and foot size. I wonder if such an indicator works with women? I never really paid attention in the past, and currently, I don’t see a correlation. Any insight out there?
I also don’t know if having children necessarily changes things - a friend of mine has 4 kids, and she’s still tight, according to her husband (who has small hands and feet BTW).
Regardless of any size differences that may exist between a couple, that shouldn’t be any reason to forego a relationship. Two people who truly care about each other will always find a way for mutual satisfaction. Well, alright, most of the time. If he’s hung like a canary and she’s like the Lincoln Tunnel, that could be a problem, but usually that’s the exception. As long as she’s a beautiful person, that’s all that would matter to me.
Actually, my experience has been just the opposite. I can find no correlation between hip size (or for that matter, hand or foot size) and the size of a woman’s vagina. The size is always a complete surprise, and as often as not, contrary to what my expectations might have been based on the size or shape of the woman.
Admittedly, we are dealing with anecdotal evidence, since my study group is, uh, more than ten, less than 50, shall we say.
Oh, and I would agree that giving birth doesn’t necessarily change things. I only meant to say that the differences I had noticed could not be accounted for by childbirth.
I have “experienced” women with children who were still very snug. (Although, don’t some women have some sort of “tuck” done after childbirth? I confess my ignorance in this area.)
I DISagree with Dire Wolf. I have large hips. Even when I was thinner, I had large hips. However, I’m rather…tight. So much so that getting a pelvic exam is unbelievably painful.
spoke-, no “tuck” is necessary. Sometimes doctors will joke about putting in “an extra stitch for her husband” while repairing an episiotomy, which is probably what you are thinking of. After childbirth, a woman must only exercise the appropriate muscles to return to her pre-childbearing shape. Any woman who finds her muscles to be unusually lax can benefit from some kegel exercises.
After giving birth to my twins, I remember telling my doctor to sew the whole damn thing up, as a preventative measure, you know.
I guess with my username, I should’nt be posting in this thread, should I?
It has been my experience that without lubrication even thinking about putting something in there is painful. So spoke, the next time you’re with that tiny woman, skip the foreplay.
I always get a chuckle listening to that one.
