Regardless of what you're curious about, this crash-course in vaginal knowledge is sure to answer some of your top queries.
Given the role it plays in daily functioning, sex, and babymaking, it is a body part worth understanding whether you have one or not.
The vagina is a very special place and here are a few interesting things about it.
Part 6:
#31. As women get older, their vaginas are prone to losing elasticity and lubrication. This is due to hormonal changes that generally accompany menopause. However, if the woman remains sexually active throughout her life, it [the vagina] retains some of these properties better. Continued stimulation of the vagina can help keep the glands and muscles in working order. Older women who are not sexually active lose their elasticity to the point that their vaginal opening is restricted to the size of two fingers.
#32. Painful sex (dyspareunia) is normal after a woman loses her virginity. But if the pain does not lessen and resolve after a while, other conditions may be involved, including vulvar vestibulitis (inflammation of the vestibule), vaginismus (involuntary contraction of the vaginal muscles), allergic reactions to things such as latex condoms or spermicide, and endometriosis (when lining from the uterus gets on the ovaries, bowel, and pelvic lining). As women age, lower levels of estrogen can cause atrophic vaginitis, or thinning of the vaginae.
#33. Approximately one in 5,000-7,000 female babies are born without a vagina. Known as ‘vaginal agenesis’, the condition is sometimes recognised at birth, but most of the time isn’t diagnosed until puberty.
#34. The vagina has over 1,000 nicknames, including “passion flower,” “pink pearl,” “ya ya,” “fish taco,” “crotch mackerel,” “cod canal,” “fish factory,” “fuzzy lap flounder,” “tuna town, “ “penis penitentiary,” “cum pocket,” “yoni,” “warehouse of warmth,” “warm slurpee,” the “V” thing,” “apple pie,” and “yum yum.”
#35. The first movie to use the word “vagina” on film was the 1946 Disney animated film called “The Story of Menstruation.”
#36. The largest vagina in history most likely belonged to Anna Swann (1846-1888). She was 7 feet and 5 inches tall and weighed 350 pounds. She gave birth to a 23-pound baby with a 19-inch head.
