Question:
I know everyone is different biologically so it must be so, but I was wondering how much do vaginas very in size, and what is the average size. Is the mans penis supposed to be able to fit completely inside the womens vagina? And if not, what is the average for how deep it will go in. (of course this also depends on the size of the male). If the man's penis is to large for the women's vagina will this cause either of them any discomfort? I doubt it will be possible to give me any kind of measurements, but I was hoping that it would be possible to answer a few of these questions at least in the general sense. thanks a lot. -Sarah

You are right. Every person’s body is different - including the penis and vagina. During sexual intercourse, a man’s penis does not fit entirely inside the vagina. Usually, the penis will only enter the first third or half of a woman’s vagina. While sexual intercourse may cause discomfort, this can be for a number of reasons – not simply penis size. If something ever causes you pain or discomfort, it is important to tell your partner so that he/she can try something differently or attempt to make sexual intercourse more pleasurable. I understand that this is not the specific answer that you would like, but I hope that it helps.
