    Normal Vaginal Sensitivity

    I'm able to achieve orgasms VIA the clitoris, however when I insert fingers into my vagina I don't feel anything. Initially I felt the pain of the first stretching and once I was used to one finger and eventually two, no pain at all. The only pleasure I can feel is if my boyfriend stimulates my g-spot, otherwise the only other sensation is the pressure if he pushes against the walls. I'm told the first inch or two of the vagina is the only part that has nerve endings, if this is so shouldn't I be feeling something more? Also if I'm fingered roughly there'll be some blood. My hymen is gone and there's no pain, so is it possible the slight bleeding could be from further stretching of my walls?

    I'm aware that most women can't achieve orgasm though vaginal stimulation but my BF, a much experienced lover, tells me most girls are driven crazy from wall stimulation so I'm concern I'll feel no pleasure from the motions of sex. If it makes any difference I am currently a virgin.

    Most women will tell you that every woman is different. My experience as a guy confirms that. Continue experimenting and finding out what excites you.

    Finger have skin that is much rougher than the lining of the vagina. Enough lubricant should be used at all times. In some cases it might be worthwhile to use a small condom over fingers.

      As jns said, each woman is different. Your bf mentioned "most" not "all" women are sensitive inside the vagina.

      Also, the hyman is not like a glass that gets broken and then is all gone. Its a membrane that at times is thicker versus thinner at other times. Fingering may not break the hyman completely. That may be why the fingering still causes bleeding. Also, you just may be too rough and ripping the lining of the vagina.

      Remember, enjoying sex for women is often a learned skill that takes years to accomplish. Don't worry. It may come in time.

        With fingering it's good to remember that the lining is thin, so your finger nail can scratch it and cause bleeding. Also, being rough can cause some bleeding. If it doesn't go away after 3 days, I'd see a doctor.

        Every single woman is different. It is EXTREMELY common that clitoral stimulation can give orgasms. The clit has more nerves in it than the ENTIRE penis does.

        Exploring yourself and finding what works for you is the best and most fun route to take. Especially with a partner that is seeking to please you, and not just work upon what has worked for other women.

          I thought that the penis foreskin had more nerve endings than the clit. Like 20,000 v 8,000
