No, the Vagina Doesn't 'Heal Up and Close' from Disuse

I know what it's like to feel like your vagina is broken. It's called natural childbirth people. But I don't think even women who feel like they tore from stem to stern during the big push would refer to their va-ja-jay as an open wound.

Come to think of it, after childbirth, that place isn't open for much business for awhile. Period. Still, the Yahoo Answers idiot question of the week award goes to the poster who asked "If a vagina isn't used can it heal up and close?"

Short answer: No.

Long answer: Not only do our lady parts tend to lose their elasticity as the years pass (and children pass through them), but they are never to be referred to as a hole in need of healing. A hole in need of TLC sometimes, yes. But that answer is not for Babble version of the Nerve Media family (if you catch my drift).

My favorite "answer" was from the husband who says they can. His source? His wife. Dude, there might be a reason for that. My second favorite answer: "you didn't use it as a baby, and it didn't close." She's right, but let me tell you, that just put my mother heart a pitter pattering, knowing my daughter's cha cha is safe from being "naturally mended" as she retains her pristine childhood.

I'd ask if people are really this stupid, but unfortunately, I already know the answer. Yahoo didn't have to tell me.
