Most of the clitoris isn't visible externally. The entire clit can reach up to five inches in some women — roughly the size of the average penis.
Female and male anatomy are more similar than different — most of the vulva has an analogous counterpart in male genitals. Outer lips are there for protection, just like the scrotum protects the testes.
When the vagina is not sexually aroused, the walls lie flush against one another. The canal is short, about 3 to 4 inches in length. But when aroused, the canal can expand to nearly 6 or 7 inches.
While somewhat contested, many experts believe that the clitoris has more concentrated, touch-sensitive nerves than anywhere else on the human body.
Studies have shown that only 25% of women can have an orgasm through intercourse alone. And this widely cited stat neglects to take into account the women who stimulated their external clitoris during intercourse.
The vagina is a miraculous wonder that takes care of itself. It expels toxins and bacteria all on its own, and even mild soap can cause irritation and infection. Just don't mess with it!
Every female body contains the Skene's Gland. It’s located near the urethral sponge (the area where the G-spot lives). When stimulated, the Skene's Gland has the ability to expel an alkaline fluid. It might contain some urine, since it is so close to the urethral sponge, but it is NOT pee.
This is a wild myth designed to keep women chaste. The vagina is a muscle, and a strong one at that. No amount of sexual activity is going to make a vagina “looser.” Do your Kegels for a strong pelvic floor and get on with your bad self.
