I don’t know if women who have had sex before have ever had the feeling that after two or three months of not having sex, when they have sex again, their private parts seem to have reverted to their factory settings, becoming difficult to access and even as painful as the first time. Does the vagina automatically get tighter because you don’t do it for a while? The answer is of course no! A vagina with good elasticity and ductility doesn’t get looser by “driving”, so there is no such thing as a tighter vagina by “parking”. There are many factors that affect vaginal tightness, such as age, pregnancy, individual development, estrogen levels, and disease. However, sex or not is not one of the factors that affects it. So why do you feel a tightening of the vagina when you don’t do it for two or three months? Here, let’s first understand the vagina. The length of the vagina varies from person to person depending on the level of development. Generally speaking, the average vaginal length of adult women in daily condition is 5.32±0.69cm, with a width that can accommodate about two fingers and a suitable tightness. When having sex, the vagina becomes sexually aroused and excited, the depth of the vagina increases by about 1/3 and the width also increases. When a woman has not had sex for a long time, her vagina does feel “tighter”, but this tightness does not mean that the size becomes smaller and tighter, but that the condition becomes tighter, mainly due to psychological tension. If you haven’t had sexual arousal for a long time, it will take longer to get aroused again and you will be slower to enter the state. Relaxation does not come down, the love juice secretion is not enough, naturally it will be tight and painful. And women who have regular sex will be more relaxed and enter the state faster than women who have not had sex for a long time. In contrast, there will be the illusion that the penis has been inserted loosely. In fact, if the woman actively contracts her vagina at this time, the penis will still feel tight when thrusting, just like the first time. So, unless you have an excessive and uncontrolled sex life, then you don’t need to worry about vaginal relaxation. If you are still worried, then maintaining a normal healthy lifestyle and regular exercise, especially for the pelvic muscles, will maintain the pelvic muscles in a better physiological functional state.
