Vaginas
EmailThere’s more to vaginas than dialogue. They can actually get out of shape. While interviewing Dr. Hilda Hutcherson of New York Presbyterian Hospital for a GMA story on sexless marriage, she told me (after the cameras stopped rolling) that it’s not uncommon for vaginas to get dry and shrink. She treats the problem in her practice. So I turned on my flipcam. Check it out.

Is this condition a good or bad thing?

I thought it said “Juju Jiggles” and I wanted to check that out. I did learn, however, about what to do about dried out, shriveled up vaginas. I hope I am able to fall asleep tonight.

This article really is a worthless bunch of garbage. There are so many legitimate topics you could write about.

The walls of the vagina can actually fuse together making a pap smear impossible without surgical intervention. I don’t think this is a worthless bunch of garbage.

I don’t know so much about shrinkin but I got a 43 year old virgin with a polo ball inside that needs gettin off. Might have to move to the sand hills if i’m not successful, it shall only cost us about 30yrs and I don’t know how many recruits to try again, so wish me luck.

Oh yea, and we need to do it with out him finding out or her knowing about it. The mind is a strange thing after all.

This absolutely fascinates me. In no “kinky” way whatsoever.
I am a single, 55 y/o man, struggling for over ten years now to recover from a divorce. My relationships, during the interceding years, have rarely included more than “coffee and get to know you” encounters. Sex is now a remote, abstract concept. This might come as a surprise to women (and perhaps men) readers who assume that it’s a sex-filled world out there. Maybe for 20-somethings it still is.
But, for those of us who are mature (both in age and in emotional growth), this is not a good time at all. With the advent of the Internet’s dating services, women tend to hold out for the greener grass on the other side of the mountain, so to speak. No doubt men are doing the same thing. Bottom line: women may encounter and meet many, many men, but they are not committing to any of them. The rubric seems to be: if I found this really great guy today, maybe I’ll find an ever greater guy tomorrow.
So, it’s not just women who suffer from lack of sex. We men have physical consequences, too. If vagina’s dry and tighten, so do mens’ penises become weak and almost numb and dull. Even masturbation does not stimulate after awhile.
It all makes for a very sad and lonely world. Both men and women are walking around amongst one another suffering from smothering loneliness. Women unable to have sex, but thinking men just want the “slam, bam, thank you ma’am.” And men unable to have sex thinking women just want a stud able to “get it up” and thrust all night long.
My point is, your article and research is not just about and for women. It’s a human thing.
The only way to deal with this is to treat one another gently and with trust and compassion.

Oh ABC News, your reporting has gone so far down the tubes it is now comical. Oh man, thank you for the rediculous reporting. Oh my god. You stay classy ABC News.

I’m only 18 yrs old and have come to the realization that most news & much of life is about commericalism. No one is talking about topics that are important instead “the best” reporter are writing about shriveling vaginas; everything is about life style now and not life saving topics or world changing topics it’s sad :(

Hey, let’s take women’s health issues seriously for a change. This is not a trivial issue. You know what is dumb? All the dang Erectile Dysfuntion ads on TV.

Some of you who think you know what makes news interesting are a bunch of jerks. Here’s a tip: if you don’t like the headline, don’t click the link, much less waste your time reading AND COMMENTING on it.
If you have a friend who is dealing with this issue, it’s helpful to know what’s happening and what can be done about it.
Juju, thank you for covering this.

Men have a shrinkage problem, I guess women can too.

All health is over all health. Over all health is to help others to have over all health. If there is over all health, there is health all over. If the over all health is healthy why care to go any further? If a woman’s face is healthy she continues to attract her mate. If her body is healthy she continues to attract her mate further. Why would the woman want to outdo her own healthy attraction?

Men have elastic penises, women have elastic vaginas, we all shrink like a prune with time. I’ve seen a cooter kat that can swallow a cop’s motorcycle, never seen one so small that couldn’t accomodate less than a horse. It would be nice to find a tight wad for once in my life. Hey Juju, nice puss, I’d do you dry.

You say there are better things to report on, like what? The war, our failing economy, 9 yr old children killing there parents, priest and children. this was a funny yet educational story.

This is ridiculous but interesting article.

This is an interesting story…my gfriend is a nurse, and we were discussing this very issue about a week ago. We both agreed that our vigorous regimen of sex will prevent this from happening.
Bruce: You need to step up your game. I am 40 and don’t have ANY problems picking up women, even 20-25 yo women. You need confidence and practice…practice…practice talking to women. Get some counseling to move on from your divorce…10 years is an awfully long time, and women you meet don’t want to hear about your ex. Just remember that not everything works out the way you would like.

I think this is a subject women and men need to know about. So often women have less sex as they age because it is not as enjoyable due to this problem. I have notice changes with age. I was suprised no one talks about it. Maybe we will have less relationship problems if we have honest dialog about womens sexuality. Sex is a natural healthy part of a loving relationship.

So can the vaginas also stretch because of too much use, or would it be caused by just getting older? Seriously!

There are manky kids suffering autism, devastating conditions. Here we are talking about Vagina drying and tightening. Stupid ABC news…

How awful to say this is ridiculous. Millions of menopausal women are going through this right now! Perhaps you all need to realize that hormones play a big part in this as well and this is painful to women! A dry vagina phsyically tears when having sex. Not fun at all.

This is a worthy article. I did not know such an issue existed. Education is always a good thing.
