Dear Dr. Betty,

I recently started trying to insert two fingers into my vagina when I masturbate and I find it hard to get two fingers in and even painful. I can easily fit one finger in and I was wondering if this is just because I am a virgin and it will change or if it will be like that no matter what?

Dear C,

Yes, your vagina will gradually change as the muscles are slowly stretched. Be sure to use a clean perfume-free massage oil for penetration. Wait until you are aroused by clitoral stimulation before you go from one to two fingers. If you discover the opening remains tight after a year or so, your hymen might be tough and will take longer.

Go the How to Use the Barbell and read about your pelvic floor muscles. Getting in touch with the PC muscle and using it with awareness will aid your penetration practice. Then when you are ready for intercourse, you will not experience all that unnecessary pain and humiliation of first time sex.
