A Man Complaining About His Wife's Too Loose Vagina Was Given Advice 0 18

A reader's letter and the response from a specialist were published by the American publication Slate.

According to the man, he and his wife have explored each other's sexuality over their 20 years of marriage and had been satisfied with their intimate life until recently. "Her vagina has become too loose, and I find it difficult to achieve enough friction to reach orgasm. Additionally, now that I am older, it takes a bit more effort. We have tried different positions. Some work better than others, but overall it is just exhausting, as she noticeably loses interest a few minutes after reaching climax," the man lamented. He wondered if 25 years of active sex had stretched his wife's vagina and if she could influence the diameter of her vagina, for example, through Kegel exercises.

In response, Stoyanovitch stated that the vagina could not have stretched, but that with age, both sexes typically experience a decrease in pelvic floor tone. "This happens regardless of how many partners a woman has had, how large their penises may have been, whether there was pregnancy and childbirth, fisting, orgasm, and so on. It's simply age," she emphasized.

Stoyanovitch noted that it is most important to find out if the woman's health is okay. "I would advise you to tell your wife: 'It seems you have some physical changes. I would be very glad if you could discuss this with your therapist or gynecologist at your next visit,'" she suggested.
