Sex and Sexuality:
“My boyfriend thinks I've been with other guys.”
Hey Terra,
My boyfriend sometimes gets mad because when we have sexual intercourse sometimes my vagina is more open and sometimes it's more tight. He thinks that I have been with other guys and that that is the reason why I am open like that.I know I haven't been with any other guys so can you please explain to me why this happens?

Dear Curious,
You have a lot of muscle tissue in your vagina and depending on how relaxed or tense you might be, muscles contract and release. This doesn't sound like anything to worry about. I am more concerned about the fact that your boyfriend doesn't believe you when you tell him that you have not been with anyone else. He doesn't trust you and that's not a good sign.
In friendship,
Terra
