Do Asian Women Have The Smallest Vaginas?

Thanks for visiting 8Asians, a blog about Asian American issues. If you find this interesting, subscribe to the RSS feed, visit our Facebook Page or add us on Twitter!

We in America are obsessed with the biggest. The Biggest Loser. The biggest thermometer. The biggest hamburger. Even on 8Asians, things aren’t that different. The most popular article I’ve ever written was about Asian men and penis size. Specifically, I addressed the common (mis)perception that Asian men have the smallest penises of all the races.

I think this topic has been discussed to death, but just so we’re clear, there is NO relation between penis size and race.

But what about women? Which race has the biggest or smallest vagina?

This was a lot tougher of a question than I originally thought. If you believe porn sites, Yahoo Answers, or countless bulletin boards, African American women have the biggest vaginas and Asian women have the smallest (and most desirable) vaginas.

However, you should NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER believe anything you read on porn sites, Yahoo Answers, or bulletin boards.

In reality, like penis size, there is NO relation between race and vaginal dimensions. Although vaginal anatomy has been poorly studied, most seem to agree that the average vagina measures 62.7 mm. This is not to say that all vaginas are the same. According to this 2007 study, they found “that the kinds of microbes found in the vaginas of Caucasian women and Black women were very different.”

Why do so many people believe that there is a correlation between race and vaginal size? The belief that Asian women have small vaginas is based on the stereotypes associated with Asian women: they are small and petite and therefore their vaginas are small and petite. What most interests me about this subject is that both Asian men and women are victims of stereotypes and yet, the perception of those stereotypes is totally different. In one case, it is seen as desirable (Asian American women) and in the other it is not (Asian American men).

So do Asian/Asian American women have the smallest vaginas? No. Not all Asian women have small vaginas and not all African American women have big vaginas. Just as there are all kinds of shapes and sizes of women, there are all kinds of vaginal sizes. The important thing here is that we are all different and unique. To think that we are all the same is not just ignorant and racist but wrong.

@catherine_sr@anotheraccount Aside from the fact that the uterus is one organ (hence, you exaggerated and mislead), a uterine prolapse is not caused by anything to do with the vagina. It has a number of possible causes, none of them vaginal in origin : )
catherine_sr

@anotheraccount Sigh. For one thing, I meant my comment jokingly. It was a response to people who are so obsessed with vaginal size that they seem to forget that a human vagina is not a Fleshlight and can stretch a lot depending on the situation, or even change in size after childbirth or as a woman ages (why do you think they make two sizes of Divacup?). I know humor and hyperbole is sometimes lost over the Internet, but I cannot believe you are accusing me of trying to “exaggerated and mislead” [SIC... get your tenses right]. Also, uterine prolapses are occasionally caused by vaginal vault prolapses… so yeah, uterine prolapses do sometimes “have *something* to do with the vagina.” Why? Because the UTERUS falls through the vagina! Three suggestions for you, anotheraccount. 1) Brush up on your grammar, 2) read Wikipedia and 3) Google “uterine prolapse” and stare at the images for a long time.

@anotheraccount Here, let me fix your first sentence for you: “As far I can tell, being a man and talking about vaginas with other men, because I have never actually encountered a vagina in real life, what most men are talking about when referring to the ‘size’ of a woman’s vagina is how tight or loose she is, and so I like to take what they say and apply it to my fevered imaginings about what East Asian women’s vaginas must be like, because I am creepy.”

@catherine_sr I mistyped the word “misled” as “mislead”. BFD. As for your supposed hyperbole, you said your internal organS would fall out. 100% not true, no hyperbole needed. I now see the reason you and I don’t see eye to eye: you use Wikipedia, I use real resources. Please try

or

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0002477/

Falling into the vagina is neither falling out of it, nor is it being caused by said vagina. If you can find an example of a woman’s uterus falling out of her vagina, please let me know (but please don’t quote Wikipedia).

8asians seems to be a really lame place for Asian skinheads to hang out.

I’m not touching this topic with a ten-foot pole. ;P

The comments are a sh*theap of fail.

For the guy saying there’s no evidence that there is not a difference between races, learn how science works you dolt. To assume something exists you need evidence, otherwise you’d have to disprove every idiotic idea a human can ever think up. There’s no evidence, so we can safely assume it doesn’t exist. PERIOD.

SO WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

Thank You Sir, for breaking it down using YOUR experiance. YOUR experiance has been MY experiance. What you said is 100% true. Thank You again.

He is correct guys…and I can say from experience.
BunnyOle

LMAO !!
BunnyOle

HAHAHAA That is hysterical.
BunnyOle

I love how the only benefit you mention is that to MEN. BELIEVE ME, when women do kegels THEY get the benefit of being able to tell when “little dick” is “in”. As far as length goes, a short length would be of no benefit to a woman, just like long dicks are no benefit – the male pubic bone has to meet the female pubis mons in order for a woman to achieve orgasm. If the man is too big that doesn’t happen.
BunnyOle

YOU SAID, or MISLED that it couldn’t happen AT ALL, now you are changing your comment to tell her she ‘exaggerated and mislead’ – man, you are an ASS! It was completely obvious that the original line WAS MEANT to be an exaggeration (and was also quite funny) and meant to show, IN AN EXAGGERATED WAY, that the vaginal canal changes in size ANYWAY depending on its ‘environment’ and that it does retract after childbirth & doesn’t just stay wide open after having a baby; OTHERWISE your internal organs would MOST DEFINITELY sag out.
Also, what are you talking about ‘nothing to do with the vagina’?? MAY-BE because prolapse is usually related to muscles or ligaments, but, IF ones vagina was gaping wide and never retracted after childbirth then I’m pretty sure it WOULD have to do with the vagina AND THAT WAS THE ENTIRE POINT.
You fucking DWEEB. I can’t believe you started a ‘debate’ over something that was basically a joke, what an ass you are.
My god, can anybody even stand to be in the same fucking room with you?
BunnyOle

Your NCBI.NLM.NIH.GOV website states one of the symptoms of uterine prolapse is: Uterus and cervix that stick out through the vaginal opening. What the fuck do you call that?

(Mild terine prolapse is mild when the cervix drops into the lower part of the vagina.) you can correct the ‘double use’ of the word mild, but I didn’t write that, the NCBI site did. Uterine prolapse is MODERATE when the cervix drops out of the vaginal opening. GROSS it is only considered MODERATE prolapse when the cervix drops out of the vaginal opening?
So then I am assuming the ‘bad’ prolapse is when the cervix AND uterus STICKS OUT through the vaginal opening. I have several photos in a medical image file, of different women who have prolapse and it shows ‘something’ hanging out of their vagina by several inches. Are you now going to ‘debate’ the meaning of the words “falling out” you stupid fucking asshole?
BunnyOle

ROFLMFAO, yeah, and by ‘research’ they mean ‘based on the women I stuck my own penis into’. LOVE how the ‘researchers’ don’t mention their own size, which would be very relevant to their ‘study’.
BunnyOle

That goes for you too, truck stop.
BunnyOle

Yes, some men and most women find east asian men too small

The reality is, that is a correlation between races and penises. It is very general but its true. But the people who obsess most about penis size are men. Be a fun, caring and passionate man because that’s what women want.
coco

Oo Too much porn? The size of your lips has nothing to do with how much sex you had *lol* It can get bigger when you deliver babies, but it’s just like the different shapes and sizes of a penis. SEX! Actually helps to tighten your vagina since it’s a freaking muscle(s) train it and it get’s tighter….doh! I wished everyone of you guys would just accompany your gf’s to the gynecologist and ask someone competent than base your biased experience as universal. It really hurts my brain to read all that freaking nonsense….ouch!!!
Pink

the ones who want to dismiss this as a “myth” are mostly white women. they have loads of insecurities with their bodies including their vaginas that they are even jealous of this “myth” about asian girls. but the truth is IT IS TRUE. ASIAN CHICKS have anatomically SMALLER SWEET VAGINAS. FACT OF LIFE. SIMPLE.
mm1979ca

I would disagree with the writer’s argument that there isn’t any
association between race and male penis size. There are many sexual
studies that show on average East Asian men have the smallest penis and
African the largest. Of course there will be exceptions in any race, but
these studies are based on the average size.

Asians usually produce less IGF-1/Testosterone than others. I read somewhere that cultures that with green tea tend to have these characteristics. But back on topic, people associate height with IGF-1, and overall growth. Asians tend to be shorter & etc.

As far as I’m concerned. The only way to know is if one had sex with absolutely all females of all races. This ‘On average’ stuff really drives me nuts. Every person, regardless of race is completely different from the next. I just wish people could stop obsessing so much over size and just see people for their qualities, rather than the features they possess. It f’ing irks me!!!!

Since when has anybody cared about vagina size?
thinkbeforeyouspeak

you were VERY quick to point out the “(mis)perception that Asian men have the smallest penises of all the races.” however, when you addressed vagina size, this issue was “a lot tougher of a question than [you] originally thought.” THERE IS NOTHING TOUGH ABOUT STEREOTYPES. this article sucks.
