Is *that* my cervix?

[amhranai9.livejournal.com]

Hey girls! I have another question-type thing for everyone. There was a fairly recent post about someone being unsure about the location of her cervix, and I too think I just discovered mine today!

I've realized more and more after following this community for a while that I'm really not as knowledgable about my own body as I thought! For instance, for the longest time I was just terrified I had some sort of lump on the front wall of my vagina, but none of the docs ever mentioned anything so I figured it was okay.  But today, I think I figured out that it's actually my cervix I have. a difficult time reaching around very far in there, so it's hard to tell, but I think I may have even felt a little "dent" which is I assume the opening. But it always felt like this lump was actually on the frontal wall of my vagina, so *does this sound like I have found my cervix, or not?*

Also, if it is my cervix, I reached it fairly easilly.  I mean, I couldn't feel it very easily, but still, I have very short fingers. So I understand (now) that the cervix changes position at different points in your cycle. But even so, I guess my question, though silly, is: *how does my boyfriend's penis fit in there?* He's pretty well endowed, much longer than my fingers to say the least. Granted, it is uncomfortable if he goes too deep sometimes, but he's certainly not like only half way in. How does this work?

And then... if this is my cervix... isn't it... delicate? I always have this assumption that bodies are so easily hurt, which is why I was nervous about beginning HBC for a while, why I can't stand needles, and why anal worries me. (I'm not psychologically opposed to it, but it just seems like it's so delicate in there!) So if my boyfriend's thrusting away in there, even though it doesn't hurt, if he reaches my cervix, couldn't he potentially be doing damage? *How tough is the cervix?*

Thanks for your help in advance! (Again, this is such an incredible community.)

Wow, thanks! That helps a lot! So would him sliding past it be that kind of "popping" sensation I sometimes feel?

possibly....the feel of his penis kind of catching on the end and then going around....for me that sensation is fairly uncomfortable, and i avoid sex at angles that cause it. but some people are less sensitive to that stuff.

Here's apic of what she means when she says, "the penis slides past the cervix (next to it, not into it "

Sorry, this is an old post, but reading this for me helped a lot, too. After seeing diagrams with cervixes(cervices?), I always thought that women complaining about a man "hitting their cervix" meant the penis went too deep. I guess it means it's just at a funny angle, I never knew it went NEXT to the cervix. That is a load off my mind, haha!
