Shallow vagina. Good or bad thing?
My boyfriend and I have sex on a regular. He says I have a shallow vagina. Me thinking it's a bad thing is making me wonder about it. Anyone have is info or advice?

Is your boyfriend a gynecologist? Go see your ob-gyn and get an exam and ask if your vagina is unusually short or in some other way unusually shaped that would make your (non-medically-trained boyfriend who evidently does not have experience with very many women) call it "shallow."
Most vaginas are proportional to the woman's body height, I'm 5'6" and I think my first gyn told me my vagina is something like 5 or 6 inches long. She said that was normal for how tall I am. If I were to have had a lover whose penis was longer than that, his penis would have bonked my cervix during sex and the base would not have been inside my vagina. Since it is not comfortable to have your cervix bonked, I might have said to him not to do it. If he had then come up with the snippy or defensive-sounding comment that this was a problem and that the "problem" was my vagina length not his penis length or his inability to stop pounding my cervix, it would make me wonder what else he was going to start blaming me for that was not a matter of being a "bad thing" but just was the way things were.
If your doc tells you that your vagina is perfectly normal for your height, tell your boyfriend to go soak his head.

I'm with AnnieBrooke. Your boyfriend is not a trained professional.
Speaking as a man, I can tell you it could be a real problem as far as sexual gratification goes. I suppose it depends on how shallow she is, but I've had a partner who could only accommodate about half of me (a bit more than 7"). It required VERY short strokes relative to what I was used to. Sure it was beautiful and loving but it was not as satisfying from a physical perspective.
Donny, the boyfriend is labeling the girlfriend as the problem, and she is buying in without even checking to see if what he says is even true. You jump in and also use the word "shallow" as though there has been any proof that she even has anything unusual about her vaginal length at all. If her boyfriend is slapping her with a label to control her or make himself feel less down, it has nothing to do with the actual physical dimensions of her vagina. This is why she should talk to her doctor and check whether his accusation has any basis in fact.
