The '''vagina''' is the elastic, muscular part of the female genital tract. It extends from the [[vulva]] to the cervix. The outer vaginal opening is normally partly covered by a membrane called the hymen. At the deep end, the cervix (neck of the uterus) bulges into the vagina. The vagina is lined with mucosal tissue. The vagina is moisturized and lubricated by Bartholin's glands.<ref>{{REFweb

The vagina receives the [[penis]] during sexual intercourse. To accommodate smoother penetration of the vagina during sexual intercourse or other sexual activity, vaginal moisture increases during sexual arousal in human females. This increase in moisture provides vaginal lubrication, which reduces friction. The texture of the vaginal walls creates friction for the penis during sexual intercourse and stimulates it toward [[ejaculation]], enabling fertilization.

Knowledge of the overwhelming superiority of the [[intact]], [[foreskinned]] [[penis]] over the [[circumcised]] penis in assuring the pleasure and orgasm of the female partner is of long standing. Rabbi  Isaac ben Yedaiah, who lived in Southern France in the late 13th century, wrote effusively of the pleasures that the [[foreskin]] provided to the woman. Marc Saperstein (1980) provided a translation:

American women are increasingly likely to meet a [[foreskinned]] man. The incidence of [[circumcision of the newborn]] in the [[United States]] has been slowly decreasing since 1965. The [[intactivism]] movement really got started about 1990 and the percentage of boys with an [[intact]] [[foreskin]] has slowly but progressively increased, so the younger age groups of American men have a higher and higher percentage chance of being [[foreskinned]]. More than 1/2 of the boys born since 2022 left the birth facility [[intact]].<ref name="yang2025">{{REFjournal
