View allI'm a bit worried and confused. My girlfriend told me she's a virgin, but when we had sex, there was no blood. I know that's normal sometimes, but it also felt like her vagina was loose. Even when I tried using two fingers, it still seemed loose. Is it possible for a virgin girl to have a loose vagina?
Yes, a virgin girl can still have a loose vagina due to various factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, physical activities, or medical conditions, as virginity is not solely determined by vaginal tightness or looseness.
