Question Posted Thursday September 20 2007, 8:27 pm
OKAy so Im 14 F and i masturbate alot. i even try looking for porn. to me it's a new feeling and is sort of weird b/c ive nevr had a boyfriend before.. I don't think my other friends do this. and I think from masturbating so much my vagina has become wrinkly? and elongated? I went to the gyno to see if it was normal and she said it looked fine to her. I was embaressed to even have to go to her for help. And im afraid for when im ready to have sex that the guy might be grossed out about how it looks. Is this normal?
please help
Masturbation is normal, and though your friends may not talk about it, many of them have probably tried it. This can be new to people in their pre-teens or teens, but adults masturbate as well. It's normal.
Masturbating will not change the way your vagina looks. If you do it a lot, or roughly, it might make you a bit chafed or sore, but a few days' break will sort that out.
Vaginas are a lot of skin - it's normal for the lips (medical term: labia majora) to look wrinkly, particularly when a woman is not aroused. When a woman IS aroused, blood can flow into the area and make things less wrinkly.
I like to think of vaginas like fingerprints - no two are the same. And it's supposed to be that way! Your vagina can have different sizes, shapes, colours - like it's own little personality. It's worth getting to know how you look and feel, as this can increase positive feelings towards your body.
No guy is likely to judge you based on your vagina's particular style - and if he did, I would suggest he probably wasn't worth keeping around.
