Aaaaah, it’s been a long time since we’ve seen misogyny on the internet (no). Fortunately, some are doing everything they can to redress the balance… New popular misinformation: the vagina becomes deformed when it is penetrated too often by a penis.
Does vaginal penetration widen the penis?
Often the subject of jokes is the misconception that sexual intercourse distorts the vagina and vulva a common cliché, especially on social networks.
In 2016, for example, a woman had used it the ham sandwich metaphor to denounce Taylor Swift’s sexual life, which she said was too intense.
A photo comparing tuna steaks of different shapes to illustrate this elegant concept has also been circulating on the internet for several years.
So I took my scepter with both hands to remind on video that NO, sexual intercourse (and more specifically penetration) has no no impact on the size, shape or tone of the vagina.
The vagina, in fact, is a muscle that adapts to situations: it relaxes to make room for a finger, a sex toy, a penis and others. returns to its initial shape after stimulation.
Only vaginal birth and older age can impact the appearance of the vulva.
Behind these delicious contents lies the shame on the slutthis practice which consists in making women who love/practice sex feel guilty.
Why does this rumor persist?
From a medical point of view, the arguments put forward by all of these memes they are therefore false.
But behind these joyful contents lies the shame on the slutthis practice which consists of make women who enjoy/practice sex feel guiltyespecially outside of marriage.
These posts all convey the same idea: women having sex lives too active do not deserve respect, e their divine punishment is to end up with a vagina that is too large and/or labia that are too large.
It’s a way to control women’s sexuality placing a certain form of shame on her.
Whatever shape your vulva is, it is NORMAL.
Your vulva is normal!
The other harmful consequence of this Also unhealthy is to reinforce the idea that it just existsa type of “normal” vulva: the one where everything is smooth and nothing protrudes.
This fictitious norm is reinforced by pornography which constantly features vulvas of this type, most often completely shaved.
Yet, just like breasts, penis, and absolutely every part of the body, vulvas can take very different shapes.
The “small” lips are sometimes larger than the “large” ones, sometimes asymmetrical, sometimes almost invisible…
AND whatever shape your vulva is, it is NORMALand penetrative sexual intercourse will not change them, regardless of their frequency.
My wish for next year: no longer having to underline this type of evidence, that all vulvas feel loved.
And you, have you ever been self-conscious about the way your pussy looks?
