How long do you have to be to hit the cervix?

From a previous post of mine
Dear Alice,
I was wondering about the depth of the vagina. I've read statistics that say that the average vagina is only 3 to 4 inches deep. This seems way too small to me, since the average penis is considerably longer than that. Wouldn't that mean that most penises would crash into the cervix repeatedly during intercourse? Since this obviously doesn't happen, my question is this: does the vagina actually elongate during intercourse to accommodate the entire length of the average penis?
Dear Reader,
Yes, just as the vagina has the capacity to expand, allowing for the passage of a baby during childbirth, the vagina also has the ability to elongate during intercourse to accommodate a penis. As you mentioned, for some women, the depth from the vaginal opening to the tip of the cervix is 3 to 4 inches when they are not sexually aroused. Other women may have a vaginal depth of five to seven inches. Regardless, during arousal, blood flows to the genital area, and sexual excitement causes the upper two-thirds of the vagina to lengthen by forcing the cervix and uterus to ascend. The vagina also lubricates to help ease penetration.
Some people think that the vaginal canal is a continuously open space. However, this is a misperception. Think of the vaginal canal as if it were a balloon that is not filled with any air. The walls, which have the potential to expand and elongate, gently touch one another. When something is placed inside, they mold around the width and accommodate the length of a penis, tampon, finger(s), or sex toy.
Sometimes during penetration, a penis or other object inserted in a vagina does hit the cervix. This may be an indication that the woman is not physiologically aroused enough; when she is more aroused, her vagina will elongate and her cervix, the neck of the uterus, will lift up and move out of the way

I've got 8, and there are times when m'lady says it went in too far for comfort. Whether or not that means I found the cervix I can't speak to, because there aren't eyes on the tip of my dick. Honestly, I'd preffer to never hit her cervix. I don't have to be hung like an elephant to feel like a man, and I know she doesn't get those yummy orgasms from 'too-deep' pains.

I think it depends on the woman. The longest I've been with was 7.5 and he did not bottom out.

Being 8 inches long I have hit a few in the missionary position. But I have found that when the ladies heals are over my shoulders it is almost a sure bet to hit the cervix. Articles have said that the avg female has a vagina 7 1/2 inches long. But then there are those who appear to take a 9 or larger inch cock in porn. And there are some one here that say they can take more. So cervix depth must be like penis size. Different.
I'm just shy of 8" here and have hit what I feel pretty certain is the cervix with all but one of the women I've been with (definitely different feeling than vaginal walls and you can sometimes feel the little 'pockets' around it). I probably like it too much at times - one woman told me "whoa there boy! A girl can only handle so much cervical stimulation!" What's interesting to me is that each woman seems to feel a little different there. It's also interesting to feel the changes over the course of her cycle.

If you have to ask you ain't no wheres near it.:tongue:
Like at least 7 inches usually? When do you go back to campus? I think you are probably an okay guy, but I am sooo tired of questions like this from you.To go past it, at least? If the vagina tents and forms around the penis, can a small penis touch the cervix at any point? I'm not a doctor; but depending upon what we are calling small, that penis ain't gonna touch nothing! How far in is the cervix when the vagina isn't aroused? Vaginas are like penises, everyones is different.
I am 8 inchs (my dick that is) and have only had a few women tell me to take it easy on the cervix. Every vagina is different and maybe WildHoney is right about the state of arousal affecting the elongation of the vagina. Because with those same girls, most of the time there was no problem. I never thought of that before.

In our early years, while still having occasional vaginal intercourse, before she realized that sex wasn't supposed to hurt; in the froggy position with her squatting over my 6.5" penis, her cervix would occasionally hit the head of my penis. That is the only time I ever felt her cervix.
