Question:
My question is will the Virginal opening change in size over time without sexual contact? We have not had coitus for 8 months or so and I have noticed that her opening has contracted in size and the next time i.e.. one or two mouths later, it has enlarged She doesn’t practice masturbation, is it natural for the changein size . or do I think the worst could she be having extra marital usage ? In Question: Size Matters

The introitus, or the opening of the vagina does not look the same every day. Without sexual contact, it may appear slightly smaller, but it doesn't generally look either "totally closed" or "completely open". The elasticity of the tissue is also affected by a woman's hormonal status, age and other factors. In order to determine if your partner has had an affair, I suggest you try open confrontation and communication rather than making assumptions based upon the look of her introitus. Good luck.
