Your hymen is actually at the entrance to your vagina. Not "inside" of the vagina.
What you are feeling is likely your cervix.
Your cervix moves in positions during various things. Sometimes allows the vagina to elongate to accommodate a penis comfortable. Sometimes it's lower in the canal.
The cervix is right at the entrance to your uterus. The cervix helps to protect foreign things from making it into the womb. There is a small hole in it that allows menstrual fluid in and after intercourse the cervix will push itself into the seminal fluid (cum) to help the sperm get into the womb to fertilize an egg.
The cervix is usually a pretty tend, sensitive thing for most women. This is why a lot of women feel uncomfortable during their annual pap smear--because the doctor is taking cells from the cervix to test for things like cancer.
When you have sex your partner will probably not touch your cervix. It will slide back upward so that the vaginal canal elongates. Some men who are much larger (long) than average may hit the cervix during intercourse but it isn't too common of a problem with most men and women. Even if the penis hit on the cervix it wouldn't cause much of a problem at all. The cervix would just push back a little. The hole in it wouldn't allow even a very small penis to penetrate it so it isn't like it would be dangerous. Maybe a little uncomfortable.
You're perfectly normal and should not be concerned over this fleshy bit inside of you. Every normal, healthy woman has one.

It's neither!
You have found your cervix; the opening between your vagina and your uterus. The hymen is closer to the entrance of the vagina.
It's surprising, isn't it? The vagina, when relaxed, is only about 4-5 inches long. When you get aroused, it lengthens considerably.
