A loose vagina can potentially lead to lack of interest in sex and could with time spoil the intimacy between couples. Some men even go ahead to accuse their wife of being a woman of easy virtue who has given it to different sizes and lengths. Contrary to that old-wives-tale, a stretched vagina does not come from too much intercourse. A loose vagina can be as a result of these Masturbation Jobs that require heavy lifting can lead to prolapsed uterus. Menopause Natural aging Childbirth- vaginal birth is ...
