A member asked:

Can a vagina and anus stretch significantly by themselves without penetration? my fiancee and i abstained from sex and she suddenly was very stretched out when we had sex again?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sexual excitement engorges the erectile tissue in the vagina that has the physiological function of opening up the vagina for sex. So what you described is normal response to sexual excitement. Safe sex: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines
