Men's Sexual Anatomy

Beautiful, buoyant and continuously entertaining, the male pleasure parts are full of surprises and can be endlessly fun to play with. Knowing how it works and which are the most sensitive areas to stimulate, is a great way to please your partner, yourself and create intimacy in your relationship.

Identify the Pleasure Zones - the Penis, Scrotum, Testicles, Perineum, Prostate Gland, and Anus

Penis

Volumes have been written about this blooming organ,

Glans

Also known as the head of the penis. The glans is the most sensitive part of the male genitalia. Full of delicious nerve-endings (approximately 4,000), the glans are covered in uncircumcised men, only becoming exposed as the penis gets erect. In circumcised men the glans are always exposed. The analogous organ in a woman is her clitoris. 

Frenulum

The frenulum is the junction point on the underside of the penis between the glans (head) and shaft of the penis. This 1 inch area is considered to be the most sensitive part on the penis.

Coronal Ridge

The coronal ridge is the ridge of flesh that circles the penis and connects the head of the penis to the shaft.

Urethra

Located at in the tip of the head of the penis, the urethra is the entrance to the bladder, and the passage where urine and semen passes out of the body.

Foreskin

The skin that covers the head (glans) of the penis. The foreskin contains nerve endings and is the part that is removed during circumcision.

Corpa Cavernosa

The Corpa Cavernosa is the spongy tissue that runs along the sides of the shaft of the penis. When a man becomes aroused these fill with blood, resulting in an erection.

Scrotum

The scrotum is the sac that protects the testicles and controls the temperature of the testes, making ideal conditions for sperm production and storage. The scrotum appears larger and hangs down more in warmer temperatures. As the temperature drops, the scrotum will move closer to the body, at times completely disappearing into the body to keep warm.

The scrotum can be sensitive and stimulating to touch. It comes from analogous embryological tissue as is found in the vagina, and has a similar number of nerve endings that respond to stroking, licking and cupping.

Testicles

The testes are the reproductive organs in men, producing sperm and semen.

Perineum

The perineum is the pleasantly sensitive skin between the base of the scrotum and the anus. Many men enjoy this area being stroked, or having firm pressure applied.

Prostate Gland (P-Spot)

The prostate has three main functions, with the official function being the creation of nutrient-rich fluid for sperm health and protection as the sperm moves through the penis and inside the vagina. The prostate gland also presses on the urethra in such a way that urine does not mix with sperm.

The third function is pleasure. Stimulating the prostate gland can be very enjoyable for many men, and stimulating it during arousal can increase the intensity of the male orgasm. 

Anus

The anus is one area that cannot be missed. This jewel of sensation has some of the highest concentration of pleasurable nerve endings in the body, only second to the genitalia. No wonder it feels so good!

The anus is made up of a cone of muscle that has two draw-string like circular muscles. The first (most outside) muscle is under voluntary control and the second ring of muscle is not under voluntary control.

Playing with the outer area around the anus, or putting something just inside the opening can add a pleasurable sensation to any sexual encounter through the pudendal nerve, while moving deeper inside you will be accessing pleasure through the pelvic nerve. 

Penis size: Does it matter?

Well, yes and no. Yes, because a longer penis has been associated with more vaginal (in particular, cervical) orgasms. And a girthier penis is also associated with more sensation at the entrance of the vagina and G-Spot.

No, in that vaginal sensation is secondary to the stimulation of the clitoris. Most women get the majority of their sexual pleasure from the external stimulation of the clitoris, and the penis is not a necessary part of external clitoral stimulation.

Women's Sexual Anatomy

Women’s pleasure zones are not as “in your face” as men’s parts are. In fact, they can be downright difficult to see without contorting into impossible positions or setting up a series of mirrors. Often times our partners know our pleasure bits better than we do. Knowing our erotic zones can open up a world of pleasure for both you and your partner.

Identifying your own pleasure zones - the Vulva, Vagina, Perineum, Anus and Erotic Nerves

The Vulva

The vulva encompasses all of the external genitalia including the luscious set of lips that surround the clitoris. The Vulva is made up of the:

Labia Majora

The Labia Majora are the outer lips that are often covered in hair. These lips can vary in size from full and voluptuous to dainty and svelte. Either way, they are sensitive to touch and respond to stroking with arousal, along with having oil and sweat glands that emit sexually arousing scents.

Labia Minora

Inside the labia majora lie a second set of thinner, more sensitive lips, the labia minora -- with a concentration of nerve endings that are second only to the clitoris. These pleasure-lips can be larger than the outer lips and uneven as they run from the clitoris down to the perineum and protect the clitoris, urethra and vaginal opening.

Mons Veneris

The Mons Veneris (a.k.a.the Mound of Venus - we love this name, by the way) is the mound of tissue that lies over the pubic bone cushioning and protecting it during intercourse. It is the part that is covered by hair. In many women it is pleasant and stimulating to touch.

The Clitoris

The clitoris is the queen of sex organs for women. It is a small ball of spongy, erectile tissue located at the top peak of the labia with the most nerve endings of any other part of the body - over 8,000. The penis has around 4,000. While it looks small (ranging from pea-sized to olive-sized), it is, in fact, much larger than we can see. The clitoris is made up of three parts, the head (that we can see), the shaft and the legs which extend 4 inches deep inside the body. These legs are called crura and look like wish bone legs that run underneath the labia and surround the vagina (from the inside).

The size and shape of the clitoris is unique to each woman.

The Clitoral Hood

The clitoral hood is the protector of the clitoral jewel. As a woman gets more aroused, the spongy tissue of the clitoris becomes engorged with blood. As it becomes erect, it also becomes more sensitive and retracts underneath the swelling hood.

The Urethra

Just below the clitoris is the opening to the urethra, the entrance to the bladder, and the passage where urine passes out of the body.

The Vagina

The vagina is located directly below the urethra and is approx 3 - 4 inches in length, expanding when aroused by ballooning up to accommodate a penis or dildo.

New research shows that the vagina has more nerve ending than originally thought. The most nerve-endings are found in three distinct areas, all of which “feel” very different from one another because they are attached to different nerves that register in distinct parts of the brain.

G-Spot

The G-Spot is a dime-sized area that is approximately 1 - 2 inches inside, on the anterior side of the vagina. When pressed it stimulates sensitive, erectile tissue (urethral sponge) just behind the vaginal wall – and part of the clitoral complex. When stimulated many women report intense sensations that can be very pleasurable, along with a sensation similar to an urgency to pee.

Cervix

The cervix is the opening from the vagina to the uterus. Located at the upper end of the vagina it is 1 – 3 mm in diameter. It was considered insensitive until recently when research has shown the cervix responds to pressure (through the pelvic, hypogastric and vagus nerves) and leads to a distinct orgasm that feels deep and throbbing.

The Perineum

The perineum is the sensitive skin between the vagina and the anus.

The Anus 

The anus is one area that cannot be missed. This jewel of sensation has some of the highest concentration of pleasurable nerve endings in the body, only second to the genitalia. No wonder it feels so good!

The anus is made up of a cone of muscle that has two draw-string like circular muscles. The first (most outside) muscle is under voluntary control and the second ring of muscle is not under voluntary control.

Erotic Nerves

All erectile tissue is richly innervated with a colourful variety of nerves. The Hypogastric nerve is found in the cervix and uterus; the Pelvic nerve in the vagina, cervix, rectum, and urethral sponge; the Pudendal nerve in the clitoris, labia minora, and urethral sponge (as well as in men's scrotum and penis); and the Vagus nerve (which bypasses the spinal cord) is found in the cervix, uterus, and upper vagina. All these different nerve systems are tied to different parts of the brain and elicit different types of sensations, responses, and experiences - both emotional and physical. There's no denying that, as humans, our bodies are designed for pleasure. Embrace it!

The Anatomy Of Intercourse

Most of the expert know about this... This is for a beginner... Does it?

During male-female intercourse, the penis enters the vagina and is stimulated when it rubs against the vaginal walls. The muscles of the vagina contract and grip the penis. The clitoris retracts and the pressure on the clitoral hood during penetration may stimulate it indirectly.

What Women Want From Men?

THE SCENT OF SEX

 According to new scientific research, a woman will literally sniff out a man's genetic make-up before she decides if he's right for her. A woman's sense of smell reaches a peak around the time of her ovulation, the 24-hour window -during the monthly menstrual cycle in which she can become pregnant. 

 The genes responsible for fighting off disease-causing bacteria and viruses are found in a group of genes called the major histocompatibility complex, or MHC. Different people have various versions of these genes - and it turns out that women can benefit in two ways from mating with men whose MHC genes are dissimilar to their own. Such a mate is likely to have more dissimilar genes in general, so finding someone dissimilar attractive might help to prevent many of the birth defects associated with reproducing with close genetic relatives. 

Sexy tone: Voice pitch is the most striking feature of human speech n] A second benefit is any children of such a union will have a more robust immune system. The interesting thing is that women seem to be able to sniff out men with dissimilar MHC. In a revealing study, Brazilian researchers asked 29 men to wear cotton skin patches for five days to absorb their sweat - and thus their body odours. 

 A sample of 29 women then smelled each cotton patch and evaluated the odour on a scale from attractive to unattractive. Scientists identified the specific MHC complex of each man and woman through blood tests. Women found the aromas of men who had a complex dissimilar to their own to be the most desirable. The odours of men who had a complex similar to their own made them recoil in disgust.

Regain Sexual Fire in Your Marriage

One of the most significant challenges of a long-term relationship, like marriage, has got to be keeping the fires burning. Every couple that has been together for more than four years has, I'm sure, experienced some measure of the doldrums in their relationship.

Having moved way past that early stage of marriage where you're barely able to keep your hands off one other, of scarcely coming up for air, and of spooning together in bed way past 9:00 a.m. on Saturday mornings, most couples find themselves in a situation where sex is as mundane an activity as taking out the trash. 

The sad thing is that this is not the way we imagined it. When most of us started our relationships, especially if we were young, we could not imagine losing that hot intensity we first felt. Yes, of course our intelligence told us that life might temper passion here and there, but we could not envision that there could be a virtual fallout in the areas of sexual desire or inventiveness. 

Because sex gets the kind of attention that it does daily, we are never allowed to forget what sex should mean in a relationship. We know intuitively that we need to keep the sexual connection in our marriages alive if we hope to emerge with a relationship that will stand the test of time. 

That being said, having the good intention of enjoying a love for a lifetime is not enough to make it happen. Like any other aspect of our lives where we hope to achieve and do consistently well, a marriage requires deliberate planning and insight in the area of preserving sexual chemistry. Nothing in life that is worth its salt comes about automatically. Sadly, the language of popular culture via songs, books and movies does not teach us this. 

We have been seduced into a way of perceiving life which seems to suggest that passion and sexual chemistry are always instant and unsolicited. In the now famous scenario of "boy meets girl" and "girl falls helplessly in love," we have come to acquaint romantic relationships with afterthought more so than forethought. In other words, it can appear decidedly unromantic to plan romance. 

In the cut and thrust of the very busy lives we now lead, this philosophy, however, cannot hold sway. The deliberate planning, which we are prone to apply to our careers, our academic advancement and even to our financial prosperity, is also needed to secure a successful marriage. 

These 10 tips suggest some active ways that you may go about putting the sizzle back into your marriage: 

1. Share your sexual expectations with one another and work on finding a common ground. After going so long without discussing this important topic, you’ll more than likely be more alike in your responses than you think.

2. Understand that even with expectations, our individual sexuality is not etched in stone: our individual sexual needs can and do change as we mature and we need to deal with our sexual/emotional baggage as we become exposed to new knowledge about sex. This means that each spouse must remain flexible and demonstrate a willingness to compromise to keep the other sexually fulfilled.

3. Be aware that hormonal differences between men and women can cause a mismatched sex-drive. This can be a test of love and patience and does keep the relationship interesting and unpredictable.

4. Have lots of sex, both spontaneous and planned. Research shows that the more a couple connects sexually, the more sex they want to experience with one another.

5. Do something different outside your normal sexual repertoire. This may involve having sex in the shower, in a safe outdoor environment like the backyard or garage (of course while observing decency laws), doing it in a different room of the house, switching up sexual positions, sharing a sexual fantasy or spending a night or weekend in a hotel room. This list is by no means exhaustive. Each one of you should is free to allow their imagination to take flight.

6. Preserve what I call "sexual tension" by deliberately agreeing to withhold sex for a couple of days or a even a week (actually the longer a couple withholds, the better the outcome). During this time, be free to touch and tease without going all or even half the way. Plan your night for full sexual exploration and explosion, and I guarantee you just might wake up the neighbors.

7. Maintain a regular date-night. Take the effort and dress to impress by doing formal dinners, but also mix up the dates with fun let-down-your-hair activities like going to a game or a night at the movies.

8. Practice regular sexual affirmation by telling one another when you’ve done a great job in bed—or where ever the act takes place.

9. Practice open and honest sharing when unhappy or dissatisfied in any aspect of the relationship, including the sex. Keeping your relationship free of clutter is critical to preserving intimacy and passion.

10. As a couple, try having an orgasm or two with your eyes wide open. It’s an act of deliberate vulnerability or self-exposure that will take your emotional and sexual intimacy to a new level.
