second opening within vagina?
Hi. I have not had sex with a partner, but want to start masturbating. Your innies an outies was very helpful, but I'm a little concerned. I stuck my finger in like it suggested, and I feel a kind of ring at the beginning, which I think is the hymen. Then, my finger seems to go straight back into an open space, and pokes what feels like my rectum. (path 1)
There is also another thing that feels like a tight ring, but is smaller than the tip of my finger. It feels like I should be able to push my finger through this ring, but it is too small (path 2).
This is embarrassing, but which path is my vagina, and what is the other one????
It's definitely not the anus. It's actually slightly inside the vaginal opening. It has highly pleasurable sensations when I rub it. It seems to small to be an entryway to to vagina (and I use tampons with no problem, so don't think this is it), but path 1 above seems to lead towards my back, rather than towards my belly.
I've seen a gynocologist who said my anatomy is normal (but this was before I started exploring it myself, so didn't know about this confusion!)

I think you may be right. Thanks for the info and the helpful site!

Hi!
It might be very helpful to you to look at a picture of the female anatomy. There are quite a few sites with good information, wikepedia is reputable, the American College of Ob/gyn has some useful publications too.
I wonder if you are palpating your cervix? It is normally located within the vagina, at the "top" and has a tiny opening called the os.
Probably getting a good diagram and a mirror would help you most!
Good luck!
