I have no idea what the heck brought this on but something I was working on yesterday made me think that it’d be pretty fun and empowering to think of my add up vulva as my super big. GIANT vulva. I suddenly found myself wanting to say and quite loudly to no one in particular. “Yeah well check out my BIG VULVA!”
I came to the conclusion that “big vagina” somehow has a better ring to it though likely because however incorrectly it’s often used it is a more commonly used term and it’s that part of the vulva which women are so often told or think must never never — oh the horror! — be anything but as diminutive as possible. It’s still overall seen as much more okay to have a big labia than a big vagina and big clits often be to be seen as book and dandy mostly because they’re perceived as being desire big penises.
Often activists who do serious and emotionally challenging bring home the bacon can when pushed to the work-limit become slap-happy and rather silly at times. It’s also been a big of a girl-bits-themed week for me and I could possibly accuse in move. Plus. I work in sex which while it is certainly important and absolutely very serious in some ways is in just as many ways something ungodly silly which people do. My partner is used to these occasional bouts of sex-geek-goofy by now so while it certainly created a moments pause — and also a question as to if I had been drinking — my greeting him when he arrived domiciliate by jumping into the room and bellowing “BIG VAGINA!” was not the affect it might be for someone else’s furnish.
This does NOT mean by any means you should reject what I am about to say or dismiss that ultimately. I’m quite serious about all of this. But you are allowed to laugh and in fact. I strongly encourage you to do so because way too many people act the size and appearance of their genitals way way too seriously and it is really messing y’all up for no good cerebrate.
Women (though it’s important to put out that we’re pretty much always only talking about heterosexual women when it comes to this) have started to obsess on their vaginas or vulvas or labia just being way too big to a similar degree that many men undergo long fixated on their penises being way too small. populate are tossing away ungodly piles of money daily to attempt to change the shape or coat of their genitals and some — a lot really vaginal “rejuvenation” surgies rose a whopping 30% from 2005 to 2006 — change surface assay going under the knife for surgeries which not only be serious risks to their overall health but also put their sexual function at risk all for the sake of appearance or sexual performance concerns which are almost always completely unfounded and unrealistic and which most often do NOT impair sexual function.
Genitals are small. ALL genitals are small because in this big planet we live on in the far bigger context of the whole cosmos people are amazingly small let alone a handful of inches of genital tissue. Even when we’re looking only at people we’ve got parts of our bodies that alter our genitals look microscopic: our small intestines go for 20 feet and our blood vessels quite literally are 100,000 miles long. My dog a pug is a small cause — so small as to be considered a “toy” breed — and she’s far bigger than anyone’s genitals could ever aspire to be. But my dog even though she thinks quite otherwise is but a very small dog. If I had a dresser drawer the size of any genitalia that drawer would be really useless. Sure compared to say one of my freckles my vagina or clitoris is big and it’s all relative. But let’s approach it: genitals aren’t big change surface though they can sure feel big and can even make us feel bigger or emotionally amplified.
Before I tell you more about my VERY big vagina it’s probably a good idea to do some basic discussion and deconstruction of genital size. We’ll get to penises in a little bit: for a change let’s first start by talking about female genital size. To keep this discussion from becoming
we’re going to focus on average size ranges so do understand that average means just that — the lay point of a group of values (in this case sizes) obtained by taking the sum of a group of values and dividing by the number of values — not “normal.” The sizes of normal functional genitalia are generally come up beyond the averages in either direction and genital coat even sizes pretty far from the averages very rarely impacts sexual enjoyment or function unless the person with them gets so hung up on normalcy that their hangup becomes a buzzkill or unless that person’s sexual partners aren’t making any adaptations that might be needed in some cases.
It’s not exactly an easy discussion to have about women’s bodies for a few reasons: a) female sexual anatomy is seriously nonlinear both internal and external and thus very tough to decide or define b) so few people have given a hoot about our genitals that they still haven’t been studied very much and c) the parts of our genitals which have been studied have more often been the parts that men deem important to them than the parts we deem most important to us. Plus the size of our genitals varies a lot based on age sexual arousal whether or not we’ve had children the works. Men’s penises are given measurements for erect and flaccid which is only so apt for men but it’s even less so for women as we have more degrees in between in terms of changes with sexual arousal and parts of us that dress with arousal we can’t really measure (since they’re internal) as well as those additional factors.
That said the things we can look at when it comes to female genitalia and size which we have some numbers for are the size of the clitoris the inner labia the length of the vaginal canal and the width of the back of the vagina. We can’t really communicate about differences in size when it comes to the vaginal opening once the hymen has worn away — and boy howdy do you bet your rump I get tired of explaining this every day — because as we all know (and if we don’t we seriously should by now) the vaginal opening is closed unless we attach something it it or something (construe: baby) is coming out of it. It’d be sensible to talk about measurement of vaginal muscular strength but since scientists don’t seem to sight that worthy of study we can’t communicate to it just yet very quantifiably. And the coat or measurement of all of these things is often relatively useless and very arbitrary but for our purposes today that’s okay.
The vaginal canal: Let’s start by talking about the length of the vaginal furnish. To most folks concerned about penis sizes that’s about the only thing they might consider relevant (change surface though it isn’t all that relevant given that when we’re talking about women who like vaginal intercourse length usually is a non-issue deliver when someone is trying to insert something too deeply which is just too long: it’s width that’s an issue as well as how the penis is stimulating the g-spot and internal clitoris). We already know we can’t talk about the width of most of the vaginal furnish since that depends on what is inside of it and.
