Q: 

What is "normal" when it comes to vagina (hymen) size?

I'm 21 and a virgin, and my boyfriend and I are talking very seriously about getting engaged. While I plan on "waiting for marriage", all the talk of getting married has made me wonder... What is "normal" for a virgin's "size"?
I think that I may be on the very small side, I can not fit two fingers inside myself (and I have very small fingers - ring size 4 1/2).
I have not ever even tried tampons - I don't think I'd get them in. I've also decided against pap smears until after I become sexually active, because I think I would be "broken" by it.

My concern is that sex will prove to be too painful, or even impossible. I have heard that some women need to have their hymens surgically severed just to make penetration possible.
So am I fairly normal or do you think this might be an issue?

I am 20 and a virgin and i went and had my first visit. It to me hurt so bad that they could not finish the procedure.But my doc told me about dilators. I myself may try that one day. I have size 8 fingers so its a lil bit bigger than others .. but for others try that first.
