Background/nurturing/societal norms also play a role. I have heard multiple well-off/educated women say, "no way I would put myself through so much pain when I can have quick c-section". Note that I'm not passing any judgement as it is their body and they are the one who will experience the pain so it is their decision.

- chongli 8y agoIt's not the size of the vagina that's the issue, it's the size of the pelvis. The vagina is extremely flexible. Bones much less so.
