1 . “Obviously having a period sucks, but having a clit definitely makes up for it. My clit is like the greatest best friend I’ll ever have.” —Ally, 25
2 . “Our vagina has two major emotions, horny or angry. When she’s horny she’s great. When she’s angry, it’s probably because she’s bleeding.” —Nichole, 27
3 . “Masturbating is awesome because we don’t splurge cum all over the place, we also won’t ever cum in someone’s hair or face which is always a plus.” —Chelsea, 24
4 . “It’s not like women walk around feeling different because they have a vagina, we’ve had them our whole lives (for the most part). It’s just a body part between our legs that occasionally (hopefully) makes us feel good.” —April, 25
5 . “I wonder how a man would think I’d answer this question. I would love to ask a man what he thinks it’s like for a woman to have a vagina. But per your answer, I think my vagina is one of the more wonderful things about myself. It not only gives me orgasms, it has the ability to bring another life into this world. So yeah, having a vagina makes me pretty fantastic.” —Victoria, 29
6 . “Having an orgasm with a vagina is pretty amazing. We’re not like men, it’s not cum and done. Our orgasm isn’t a straight incline and then rapid decline. It’s not like climbing up the mountain and then falling off of it. It’s like climbing up the mountain, repelling from one cliff, to free fall off another and then getting picked up in a helicopter once you reach the bottom. Weird metaphor, but our orgasms are crazy, and I imagine they are way more fun than a man’s.” —Jennifer, 28
7 . “I am kind of jealous that I can’t just stand to pee and have to use muscles I don’t have to squat over dirty toilet seats, but I love my V. She makes me happy more often than not.” —Eva, 27
8 . “No we do not get horny from inserting tampons into our vaginas, nor does it feel anything remotely close to sex. Just wanted to clarify. But I think our orgasms are most likely incomparable to a man’s orgasm, and by that I mean they’re way better. Less common, but when we do have them, YEAH.” —Catherine, 28
9 . “Well, it entails having your body feel like it’s literally trying to kill you once every month. Other than that I don’t think it’s anything special. —Kim, 27
10 . “They’re way cuter than a penis. A vagina looks like a tiny butt cheek, a penis looks like an ugly extra limb. As to what it feels like, not sure I know how to answer that. It just feels like your body.” —Haylee, 25
11 . “Vaginas are sensitive, sure if you kick us there we’re not going to squirm in pain and fall over, but in terms of infections and bacteria, you can’t mess around. There’s nothing worse than a yeast infection or UTI when you have a vagina.” —Savannah, 24
12 . “Every moment is different. If I’m horny, it’s wet. I get wet really easily though, like if I start thinking about sex, I get wet. I don’t necessarily have to be doing anything sexual, just thinking about it.” —Carly, 25
13 . “When you’re on your period it feels like you have no control over your body both physically and emotionally. When you’re horny it feels like you just want sex. Pretty self-explanatory. —Christina, 29
14 . “Orgasming feels great. You just feel a really strong sensation that somehow travels throughout your entire body and makes you feel weightless, euphoric, and like you have to pee all at the same time. Weird, but good weird, actually GREAT weird.” —Lora, 27
15 . “It’s just another body part, one that we are equally self-conscious about, but whenever I feel self conscious of my vag I remind myself that it gives me orgasms.” —Joanna, 28
16 . “Cameltoe sucks, so do periods, but I think giving birth to new life kind of makes up for that.” —Diana, 31
17 . “If answering what it feels like to have a vagina will help men know what to do with it, then imagine my clit is like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Find it, and when you find it, don’t just leave it there.” —Meghan, 25
18 . “I guess you don’t really know what it ‘feels’ like until you masturbate, have sex, or get your period until then you don’t really notice it that much.” —Amy, 26

It’s a painful condition that can leave you itching, even burning down there — and no, it’s not a sexually transmitted infection!
Just when you thought you had enough to worry about after realizing having a “depressed” vagina is a thing , women are also at risk of vaginal atrophy.
Vaginal atrophy is a common but treatable condition that causes the vaginal wall to thin.
And while it can be a problem for women of any age, it’s more likely to affect women who are going through, or have been through, menopause .
This is because the body produces less estrogen than normal, which has an effect on how the vaginal wall behaves.
Vaginal atrophy can also occur in women who have been treated for cancer, especially in those who have had hormone treatment for breast cancer , according to the Mayo Clinic.
Common symptoms include discharge, burning, itching, difficulty peeing and pain during sex.
This might seem like enough to put you off having sex for good, but regular orgasms — from your partner or a bit of self-love — can actually ward off the nasty symptoms.
And the key is the increased blood flow to your nether regions when you climax — it works almost like a “workout” down there.
Louise Mazanti, a London-based sex therapist , said: “It is very important that we have a healthy sex life with a partner or with ourselves.”
“People very often say, ‘I don’t have a sex life because I don’t have a partner.'”
“But forget about that and have a sexual relationship with yourself.”
“It’s about using massage and touching the tissue so that it becomes alive, the blood flows and the tissue becomes elastic.”
“It is really about exercising the tissue.”
Increasing blood flow increases oxygen supply to the vagina, which means it is less likely to become inflamed, thin or dry.
According to Mazanti, if cells are not getting enough oxygen, they cannot eliminate waste from the tissue, which can cause inflammation that leads to problems such as vaginal atrophy.
A buildup of toxins can also stop vital nutrients from getting to the cells, which can leave the tissue slightly weaker and thinner.
Mazanti also said losing the ability to have sex is not just a physical problem, it can have some serious side effects on a person’s mental health.
She added: “When your ability to have sex and your desire to have sex decreases, it is a massive change in identity.”
“You start to question ‘who am I now if I am not the sexual woman I used to be?’”
“It can cause depression and an identity crisis and deep consideration of an existential nature.”
Depending on how severe the condition is, you may experience a variety of symptoms, including:
Vaginal atrophy is generally caused by a decrease in the production of the female sex hormone estrogen.
Estrogen is the main hormone that regulates a woman’s menstrual cycle and controls ovulation.
It is also responsible for thickening the vaginal wall and causes it to release mucous once a girl hits puberty.
So if you stop producing estrogen, the walls of your vagina can become thin and dry.
Vaginal atrophy is most common in women who have gone through the menopause, but certain cancer treatments and hormone treatments can also cause it.
Women who are smokers, who have never had a vaginal birth or do not have sex or pleasure themselves are also more at risk.
Smoking affects your blood circulation, resulting in the vagina and other tissues not getting enough oxygen.
It also reduces the effects of estrogen.
Vaginal moisturizers and lubricants can be used to treat dryness and help improve your sex life.
You may have to apply moisturizer every two to three days but the effects usually last longer than lube.
A lubricant is used mainly to make sex easier and more enjoyable.
If symptoms don’t improve, over-the-counter estrogen therapy may be recommended.
Creams can be inserted into the vagina daily to restore the tissue.
Estrogen tablets may also be recommended to help restore the body’s natural levels.

The jam doughnut comparison was a particular favourite.
So we’d feel a bit silly if we didn’t return the favour and get some straight women to describe penetrative sex from their perspective.
People with penises, this is the closest you’re going to get to understanding what it’s like to have sex when you have a vagina… without actually getting a vagina.
Names have been changed, because not everyone wants to publicly share their vaginal feelings.
Let’s find out what it feels like to have a penis in your vagina.
‘First you feel pressure and then it feels warmer and warmer as the penis goes back and forth. You mainly feel fullness and warmth.’
‘When I’m in the mood it does bring about a satisfaction unlike any other.
‘If I’m particularly horny and haven’t had sex for ages it feels like scratching an intense itch that nothing else will satisfy. That said, it’s not my favourite sexual act – I generally much prefer oral.’
‘It might sound obvious, but it’s like being filled up.
‘Especially if you’re turned on, your vagina feels like it won’t be okay if it doesn’t get that filling sensation. A finger or will do it sometimes, but other times you just need to be stretched by a penis.’
‘I would say there’s definitely a sense of euphoria once the D first goes in. There’s an initial rush through your body. Definitely not as intense as an orgasm but still gets your blood pumping and your heart racing and sends shivers through your body.
‘It’s tingly and good sensitive around the outer vagina but inside I can’t feel much D unless it’s a monster cock that feels like it’s smashing into my stomach or on a bad angle then that’s painful.’
‘It’s like finally discovering the correct key for the door- unlocking the doorway to pleasure time.’
‘If it’s a wrong or bad angle and too deep/hard you feel like your insides are being being stabbed.’
‘It is one of my favourite feelings in the entire world.
‘It feels like being slowly filled with something that creates an immense sense of pleasure, tingling, and a general good feeling.
‘It doesn’t really matter the shape or size, but the sensation of a penis entering coupled with the weight of someone on top of you is just amazing.’
‘I know they say size doesn’t matter but honestly it does. Too big and you’re just hoping it will stop soon, too small and you don’t feel anything.’
‘With every peen there is a feeling of “fullness” to some degree, no matter what the size or girth…. but one size does not fit all, and if especially well endowed it can feel like they’re going to crush/rip you, which can be a mood killer.’
‘Like when you’ve got fresh sheets on the bed, everything on your body has been waxed and you just slip under the sheets.
‘It just feels like everything is right and how it should be.’
‘It feels like a really good stretch. Like when your muscles are tense and you just reach out and feel things open up and release tension.
‘Then fullness. It’s weird to describe, because without sex my vagina definitely doesn’t feel empty , but during sex fullness is the main sensation. It just feels like a warm stretch, like being full after a nice meal and feeling your tummy expand… but sexy.’
‘Like something sliding in that was always meant to be there.’
‘Essentially it does depend on a lot of things; the unfortunate truth is that size (and girth) does matter because ultimately you want it to “fit like a glove” as that’s the most comfortable and fulfilling, literally and in terms of pleasure!
‘But also it depends on what motion is going on and where your pleasure points/G spot is as to the feeling you get out of it.
‘The best experiences I’d describe as feeling “snug”, perhaps even a bit of a squeeze to push your boundaries as it were, just the right amount of wetness without being sloppy, and it feels right. Made to be. Tingly in a good way.
‘In a bad experience it can be painful, awkward, unsatisfying and frankly boring. Hence, size and shape (and often your feelings towards the person) do matter to get the best fit and best sex, in my view.’
‘Feeling my partners penis inside me feels like a sort of flower opening and closing up around his penis, not like a venus fly trap but more like a lotus flower, very powerful, embracing and relaxing
‘The initial entrance sometimes doesn’t always go as well due to the fact that my vagina may not be wet enough, this feels like a sort of puncture that sometimes feels like a slight jab.’
‘How it feels depends a lot on size (sorry guys) and how turned on you are. Generally you either feel really “full” or a bit ermmm less so.
‘If you’re really turned on and there’s tonnes of build up then you can get an actual achey feeling down there beforehand.
‘If there’s chemistry with the guy and they’ve been generous with the foreplay, it usually feels like a little bolt of electricity in your pelvis when they first fully enter.’

‘It’s like being filled up with something that is hard and soft at the same time???
‘There are a lot of ways it can feel but not getting into the politics of dick sizes, it’s normally pretty nice.’
‘When a guy is too big it feels harrowing, like a marrow trying to get into a keyhole. It’s painful and feels stretched.
‘On those rare occasions when they’re the perfect size and you’re totally synced, it feels like a key going into a lock and two pieces of a jigsaw puzzle slotting together. It just feels nice.’
‘You know those water snake things? It feels like what I’d imagine putting one of those inside yourself would feel like. A water snake in a carrier bag or wearing a glove, depending.’
