No feeling in vagina am i normal

Hi there!! i am 20 and a virgin .. i just dont seem to be able to get turned on at all. My boyfriend was fooling around inside my vagina and said that i should be able to feel something, that it should feel 'special' but its just totally numb i cant feel him touch anything. Is this normal?? should i be able to feel something?
If at all related i also have problems with irregular periods.

Thank You

I think you're perfectly normal. You don't necessarily feel "inside" your vagina. The nerve endings are primarily at the opening.

Tell your boyfriend that once he grows a vagina, you'll be happy to hear him tell you how it's "supposed" to feel! ;oP

I have never experienced something like that, but you might want to go see a DR. Your most sensitive place is your clitoris and if not adquately stimulated then it makes it hard to get any enjoyment out of vaginal fondleing. Any way I hope this helps some, but if you are really worried, go to your dr and see what he or she says.

Your boyfriend is looking for a G-Spot.  Some women have it and some dont.  I personally dont.  I can only climax via clitoral stimulation.

I dont have 'pleasurable' feelings in my vagina.  So whether you do or dont.  Its both normal.  

My boyfriend and I invested in a vibrator to stimulate that instead.

If you're absolutely totally numb everywhere down there, then it does not sound normal.  Now that you're 20 and getting into a sexual relationship, it'd be a great idea to make your first OB/GYN appointment and discuss this with the doctor.  There's nothing to be shy about.  It's a necessary evil that we all endure once a year.  ;-)

I wondered too, if  the guy was looking for the G-spot. This area of a woman's body was discovered by a Dr. Grafen...something or other, I would have to check on his name, but this topic became one hot topic of discussion during the 70's when word got out about it's potential for sexual gratification.  

The G-spot is a soft area about the size of a quarter in diamater and it is actually located directly behind the cliteras about two inches inside the "roof" of the vagina. When a woman becomes significantly sexually aroused this area becomes engorged with blood and it gets even softer and "spongy." It is at this time that stimulation to this area can be pleasureable for a woman and can offer a whole body type of orgasm, sometimes along with female ejaculation.

If you tried to stimulate this area before arousal, nothing much would happen other than the feeling of frustration.

Hope this helps. There are many articles about the G-spot on the web on some of the reputable sites. Our bodies are amazing for sure.

everyone here is right,some women get aroused in the vagina some need help with a vibrator on the outside..my confession is this..im 40 years old and have always up till 3 years ago never had an orgasm..no lie..i was dating a guy and told him this and he bought me a vibrator..now its my best friend..if this can help you maybe its all you need to get your body going as you are still so young..or it may be that you will always need it but you can also teach your partner to use it on you once you have learned to master it yourself..good luck..

I looked for that G-spot in my wife and didn't find any.  After several futile attempts she told me to get back to work with my tongue to which I happily obeyed!

I'm the exact same way. I have absolutely NO feeling ANYWHERE down there, not my clit or anything. I'm completely numb, it's like I was born without nerve endings down there. It's so bad that sometimes I can't even tell if my boyfriend is in or out of me. I'm only 18 and I live with my bf, I don't have a car and can't drive. I don't even know who my doctor is so I don't know what to do!

It is not normal, your hormones are out of whack totally. You should have lovely feelings in your vagina. Maybe not enough for an orgasm alone, but it should feel lovely when he in inside you.
If you have a strong pelvic floor, then you can contract that as you are being stimulated on your clitoris, also when he is inside you.
Look up pelive floor exercises and see if that could be contributing. but I say it is hormonal as you are too young to have no feeling. Unless you have already had children and did no exercise after.

My situation is quite similar to kitten9, I have no feelings during intercourse, sometimes I cant even feel if its inside of me. No pleasure what so ever. Its very fustrating and I feel I should pay the gyno a visit but a part of me feels there would be nothing she could do. Has anyone else been to the doctor about this/is there a cure?

For years I believed that I was the only person with this problem. I don't have feeling in my vagina nor at the opening and I have never had any feeling before. II have feelings in my clit but not enough for a climax. I have been to the doctor and they sent me to a sexologist. The sexologist told me that it's all in my head and I should let go of myself. (never helped) I am 24 and I am still having this problem and my boyfriend doesn't know.

I have this same problem. I'm only seventeen so I haven't gone to they GYN yet but I've only had sex with 1 person before. and I have tried to see if they were doing something wrong by trying myself but i don't feel anything. It just hurts. I can't tell they are in unless they move into a position where they are poking upwards and it feels like they are poking my ovaries. Other then the pain of that, I don't feel inside. Outside is good. Works fine, orgasm to that but I would love to know what its like to feel inside.

First. Many doctors have to deal with complete idiots so their answers have to be idiot proof assuming your question stems from uninformation.  Second their answers need to be tailored to the responses of the patient.  You should not have tactile sensitivity in your vagina, but you should have sexually stimulating sensitivity.  It might be a lot, or a little since everybody's body is different. Do you have sexual sensitivity on your clit? How numb is it? can you masturbate? Can you get your self off?  These questions need to be addressed.  Have you had trauma down there? example kicked in the groin.  Have you had sensation before? Hormones have a lot to do with it, and they may be out of whack. Stress, psychological effects.  My wife has the same problem and I am trying to find a solution.  See a doctor and if they are stupid find another. It is that hard to find a good one.

Same problem for me, no feeling at all inside of me. I've been to the Dr. before and all I've ever heard (from multiple doctors) is that I should use lube... Obviously not helpful. Thank goodness there are other people who know what I'm talking about

The walls are not suppose to have feeling. The male penis enjoys the feeling sensation of your vagina walls, but that is not the source of pleasure to the female. As you know you do not feel a tampon inside, that is where the birth canal opens to make room for the baby to be born, no nerve endings there. Now she can feel the top of her cervix and the opening of her vagina. that does no thing for the woman. For the woman he needs to aim it to her g-spot, only if the g-spot can be found and hit repeatedly will the woman have any pleasure from the male penis pumping rythem. She will feel a sensation to pee, then she will release a lot of fluid. A man pumping in my vagina for an hour without hitting my g-spot feels just as good as cleaning out the boogers in my nose. People are just ignorant is all, to much assuming from badly made porn made by men for men being viewed.

I know exactly what's happening. NO, it's NOT HORMONES (well, it could be, but I have another explanation).

I don't feel anything down there. I don't know what it feels like to be horny. But they tested my hormones, and my hormones are completely normal. You know what it is? I have MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS. My nervous system is damaged, causing loss of sensation of my clit/vagina. Look up multiple sclerosis and get checked. I bet that you have it. It IS NOT normal. All of my other friends knows what being horny is like, enjoy sex, etc.. They don't have M.S.

I am the same as what you say. I am still wondering what is the problem. You know, it is difficult to talk about this with friends and doctor. My body is normal and I have baby before also. Is there anyone here can tell me the problem? Any thing can REPAIR me?

I have not resolved the problem with my wife's issue.  Where it differs is that she used to be horny as hell when she was 19.  No one could satisfy her.  then at 25 it is all gone..  And it should not be that way.  So the plot thickens for those of you who just can't get any pleasure.
Some can only get off with anal sex, others clitoral and sex is just so complicated because we are not the same.  And some men are jerks and don't know what the hell are they doing, and rough up the women.  No wonder they can't enjoy themselves.  So doctors say, use lube because that is the most most common issue.  If i fix my wife I will post it here, but I can't say that her solution will be yours.  We can only try.
