Our body looks different over time, including the vagina. But what does that mean for our sexuality? An overview.
It is very clear that our body changes in the course of our lives. We get wrinkles on the face, thinner hair and often a few pounds more on the hips. No problem, after all, that’s completely normal. Our sex organ also changes over time. Why not? We’ll explain how it happens.
By the way: The vagina does not mean the outer genitals. These – the inner and outer labia and the clitoris – are called vulva. The vagina is the inner area, ie the eight to 12 centimeters that connects the vulva to the cervix. In our review, we refer to both the vagina and the vulva.
The vagina with 20 years
The vagina and vulva are fully developed after puberty. The vulva is still very tight, just as the skin of a 20-year-old is very firm. Only over the years does the ductility change. Nevertheless, even at this age is no vagina like the other. Whether the outer lips cover the inner is different for every woman, and makes up the special diversity and beauty of nature.
The vagina at 30 years
The elasticity of the outer and inner labia decreases. In addition, they can turn darker.
However, the changes are particularly large in women who have children. During pregnancy, the vagina and vulva are more supplied with blood and expand. Some women also report that they have more desire for sex . The female sexual organ is slightly bluish in this time, the surface velvety. After the birth she shrinks again. The fear of being “too far” for the penis of the partner is, however, unfounded (regardless of the size and length of the penis!) The vagina is elastic like a rubber band and retracts again. Pelvic floor training also helps to recover the old form.
The vagina with 40 years
Between the middle 40 and 50 years, many women are menopause . During this time, the secretion of the hormone estrogen is reduced. This may – but not necessarily in all women – result in the vaginal skin becoming thinner and more sensitive. Just as men may experience erection problems in the second half of life, women may produce less vaginal fluid in sexual arousal. All this can cause pain during sex.
Nevertheless, you do not have to be afraid of it. Women can still get wet with a longer and loving foreplay, if necessary, a vaginal cream will help. It is important that the men understand what changes during menopause during menopause. Then the desire for sex does not sink!
A high on our vagina!
Cosmetic surgery in the genital area are in vogue. Many women go under the knife because they do not find their vagina or vulva beautiful. For example, some women want their labia to completely cover the clitoris , or they want to make their inner labia smaller. A questionable trend, because is not it the diversity that makes up beauty? This project shows wonderfully how different (and beautiful!) Women are in the genital area – no matter the age!
