Ouch. That is so fucked up. I am older and have been structurally tight (skin too tight at opening) sex hurts when it goes on too long. The "husband stitch" is abusive. And doctors do it because they do episiotomy, which is also awful because that cut doesn't heal as well as a repaired natural tear and you might not tear at all.

Complimentary tightening surgery my ass. That doesn't help mothers at all.

Rehab with kegels does help and obviously if you tear, a repair. The midwife recommended working up to fisting before having a baby and man I wish I had taken that advice.

But being tight right at the opening of the vagina just hurts, there is no advantage to it.
