i'm curious since i know what stroking the head of the penis is like, but is the actual vaginal canal as sensitive as that , or more so? if the clitoris is like a mini penis, then the vagina must be something different?

well, hmmm.

It is hard to compare, it is not equivalent. My clit does not feel like a mini penis. It's like this intense little button, quite a raw feeling which sends lovely fingers of yum through me - but I actually don't like too much direct stimulation of it, it is almost too much.  I orgasm just fine (though my meds make it hard). Orgasms feel different, though I don't think I can describe it.

The inside, well it is not that magical. And I don't think it is for most women. But there is something about being ->-bleeped-<-ed by someone, it satisfies something. Now I should add that I am a dyke, though I have slept with a guy, and I have to say I prefer fingers in there over dick. I love being fingered, and if you scoop your fingers up around past the pelvic bone, you can press on a spot, which I think is where your prostate is, and it feels really good and intense to me - especially combined with clit play. Omg - I am just in heaven when that happens.

But everyone is different hun. And surgical techniques vary. Some people become wildly sensitive, and others don't have much at all. But on the balance I think the surgeons techniques are getting rather good, so you have a good chance of a good result. They are definitely much more complex to drive than a penis, and sometimes it can take a bit of practice. 

In summary it is like a million times better for me than having a penis, and only part of it is the physical sensation. A lot of it is the mental stuff. Like sticking your penis in someones face is nowhere near as grand as laying your vulva on their lips regardless of how it feels! But yes it does feel really good!

Nicole, you descrives what I was thinking.
Full moon, you think about women's sexuality from the vision of someone who is having a penis, that's impossible.
There is no way to compare, the difference is too big.
In my opinion it's so much better, men use their dick, women use their whole body to get satisfaction.
When you had srs, you know exactly what we mean, but explaining it is very hard.

Hmm... I read that as "how erogenous is a bio-vagina". Not nearly as sensate as the penis. There are only really 3 zones of feeling in the vagina: the opening, the g-spot, and the cervix. The clitoris is a different structure and has roughly the same number of nerve endings as does the head of the penis, but packed more tightly. Yes, some women find that there's a certain satisfaction in having that hole filled, but most women can only orgasm with stimulation beyond just a penis. That's right--- most men are delusional.

There's your female anatomy: 101.

Just don't put butter on mine

The clit is about the only sensitive part I have - vaginal canal, is not any where near as, you might feel some kind of sensation, most likely won't I think. (At least it was only very minor for me) I think if you want the best sexual satisfaction, not only use your clit, but also the rest of your body, where there are known g-spot zones. I have one or two weird wet dreams lately, lol where I woke up wet, and remember having an orgasm in my sleep dreaming about some guy I liked, so I think its possible if your worked up enough to enjoy sex with your whole body, When I was going through my srs, my surgeon told me, that basically my main 'source' of sexual pleasure would come from the clit, its the only thing that provides that much sensation, other than exploiting G-Spot zones, we all got them, so use them ! combine all those together, you should get what you desire I think.

its reasonable to assume that with the usual inversion technique the sensitive skin of the penis that enjoys being stroked so much should still enjoy being stroked when inverted during SRS...unless the skinning of the penis removes the nerves emdedded in the skin?

This is just too interesting a topic to ignore. Is the vagina as sensitive as a penis? From what i can tell (as still a cis female and heterosexual) HELL NO !!!!! UNFORTUNATELY!!!!!! Ok back to biology, all embryos start out female. If the embryo is XY  the tissue that would become the clitoris become the glans ( the head) of the penis.  OK, so the clit is this little button of a thing partial hidden and the glans is the fairly large this - no comparison regarding sensation. Additionally, about 2/3 of the vaginal canal is basically without nerve endings - remember, it is actually also designed for giving birth - so this is a good thing. AS for the cervix, sensitive yes, but pleasurable, no way, ask your female friends about pap smears - no pleasure when the cervix gets scraped.
Ok, can sex be good for women. Of course. Can it be a easy as for men, not really.

once again, another example of nature's unfairness.

i think the men ive been with who get great pleasure from their chests and various other parts of their body would prove that statement wrong

Actually you are wrong in that a clit in a ciswoman has a much denser number of nerve endings. And just because a lot of it is below the surface does not mean it is not stimulated. I'm not sure how many people you have slept with, but your emphatic hell no does not speak of a lot of experience playing with vulvas and penises.  In my experience women get a lot more pleasure from their vulva's than guys get from their penises -  for longer, and a much higher level than a guy does. Of course you need to know how to drive them. Also getting a pap smear is hardly an erotic event! And yes they can be freaking uncomfortable, if there as no feeling then that would not be the case.


For me the pleasure of penetration is not the canal itself, but the whole surrounding area inside and out. Think about how sensitive you anus is, all those yummy nerves can be involved indirectly.

 
In answer to OP, apparently VERY - though not what I could say about mine.

My 'zone' is primarily in the head                   

Axélle

Basically what nicki said. Like most women i've slept with stroking my labia will get me wet as anything, my clit is quite sensitive so too much finger play can be a bit sore...i have been left raw and bleeding after some really animalistic sex. i have a G-spot as well which can be nice when i have someones fingers inside me. but really my entire body is an errogeounous zone and when i'm really turned on i can cum just by thinking about it.
