![]() ![]() Things like taking birth control, menopause and breastfeeding can alter oestrogen levels. Vaginal lubrication is affected by the level of oestrogen in the body. Sufficient lubrication of the vagina prevents painful sex and tissue tearing. Lubrication is important during intercourse Either way, for the women who experience this phenomenon, the sensation is orgasmic and differs from urinating. If the fluid is clearer and more than a cupful, it is usually urine diluted with substances from the female prostate. If ejaculate is produced in a small amount with a milky or cloudy appearance, it is most likely emitted from the paraurethral glands located inside the urethra. ![]() Female ejaculation can occur as the result of two different phenomena that most are not aware of. Most women do not ejaculate during an orgasm, but if you do, this is considered normal. This can be achieved through masturbation, manual or cunnilingual stimulation by a sexual partner. Most women do not reach a climax through vaginal penetration and need clitoral stimulation to orgasm. Few women orgasm from vaginal penetration Like the penis, the clitoris has erectile tissues that are activated upon arousal. The clitoral hood is comprised of the same kind of tissues that make up the foreskin in males. Just like the penis, the clitoris has the frenulum (the small fold and ridge of skin that supports motion) and a prepuce (or ‘clitoral hood’ is a fold of skin that covers it). These two structures are more similar than you realise. Makes you think twice about that Brazilian wax doesn’t it? The similarity between a penis and a clitoris It also acts as a barrier against infection. It takes on the role of a protective barrier to the genital tissues and vaginal opening. ![]() Yes, believe it or not, pubic hair has a job. The colour of vulvar anatomy is also completely different from one individual to the next, ranging from light pink to dark brown. Labia minora also differ in their appearance and size, and it is important to remember that when comparing yourself to porn stars, many have undergone labiaplasty procedures to cosmetically alter the appearance of the labia minora. Some labia majora (outer lips) are tucked in and some hang down, some are symmetrical and others asymmetrical. While porn stars may portray a seemingly different picture, every woman’s vulva actually looks different. From front to back the first hole is the urethra and then the vagina, which is above the anus. While men urinate from their penises, women urinate from the urethra (a tubular structure that carries urine from the bladder to outside of the body). This may surprise you, but there are actually three holes ‘down there’ and not just two. The vaginal canal is set at an angle in your body, which is why sometimes during sexual intercourse or the insertion of a tampon it may feel like you are hitting a wall. 1 The vagina is positioned at a 130-degree angle External female genitaliaĪs you can see in the diagram, the external structure of the vulva consists of the labia majora, which are the outer lips of the vagina, the labia minora, the inner lips and the clitoris, a highly sensitive, erogenous zone that contains more nerve endings than any other part of a woman’s body. This encompasses the pubis, urethral opening, clitoris, labia minora and the labia majora and vaginal opening. Vulva is the correct term to use when referring to the external female sex organs. Technically speaking, the vagina is actually the elastic, muscular canal that connects the vulva to the cervix and uterus. We should be using the term ‘vulva’ instead of vagina ![]() So, in the interest of female education, we’ve summed up a few things that may or may not surprise you about yours. Considering that discussing vaginas is no longer a taboo topic, it’s incredible how little most women actually know about theirs, from the anatomy, monthly changes, hygiene and various sensations experienced. ![]()
