Sexual Life And Success

Anal Fingering

2007-07-31T02:22:00.002-07:00

Fingering of the anus and rectum is commonly practiced in preparation of further anal sex. Anal fingering can arouse the receiver, allowing them to relax their anus and prepare them for the insertion of a penis or a strap-on dildo.

Anal fingering is an effective way of stimulating the prostate gland of men, and thus bringing the receiver to orgasm. Anal fingering can also stimulate the G-spot in women, through the wall separating the rectum.

Vagina Fingering and Clitorial fingering

2007-07-31T02:22:00.001-07:00

Fingering is the practice of using fingers to stimulate the clitoris, vagina or anus. It, along with manual stimulaton of the penis, is the most common form of mutual masturbation. To "finger oneself" is to masturbate in this manner.

Clitorial fingering: Massaging of the vulva, and in particular clitoris is the most common way for a woman to reach orgasm.

Depth of vagina

2007-07-31T02:17:00.001-07:00

Vagina has the capacity to expand, allowing for the passage of a baby during childbirth, the vagina also has the ability to elongate during intercourse to accommodate a penis. As you mentioned, for some women, the depth from the vaginal opening to the tip of the cervix is 3 to 4 inches when they are not sexually aroused. Other women may have a vaginal depth of five to seven inches. Regardless, during arousal, blood flows to the genital area, and sexual excitement causes the upper two-thirds of the vagina to lengthen by forcing the cervix and uterus to ascend. The vagina also lubricates to help ease penetration.
Some people think that the vaginal canal is a continuously open space. However, this is a misperception. Think of the vaginal canal as if it were a balloon that is not filled with any air. The walls, which have the potential to expand and elongate, gently touch one another. When something is placed inside, they mold around the width and accommodate the length of a penis, tampon, finger(s), or sex toy.

Sometimes during penetration, a penis or other object inserted in a vagina does hit the cervix. This may be an indication that the woman is not physiologically aroused enough; when she is more aroused, her vagina will elongate and her cervix, the neck of the uterus, will lift up and move out of the way. Other times, contact with the cervix can happen if a penis is larger than average or if the thrusting is too deep. Communicating with a partner about the discomfort — "Ouch, that's a little too deep" — and changing sexual positions may be helpful.

Causes of Vaginities

2007-07-25T05:00:00.000-07:00

Hormonal vaginitis :includes atrophic vaginitis usually found in postmenopausal or postpartum women. Sometimes it can occur in young girls before puberty. In these situations the estrogen support of the vagina is poor.

Irritant vaginitis: can be caused by allergies to condoms, spermicides, soaps, perfumes, douches, lubricants and semen. It can also be caused by hot tubs, abrasion, tissue, tampons or topical medications.

Foreign Body Vaginitis: Foreign bodies (most commonly retained tampons or condoms) cause extremely malodorous vaginal discharges. Treatment consists of removal, for which ring forceps may be useful. Further treatment is generally not necessary.

Vaginities Symptoms

2007-07-25T04:59:00.000-07:00

A woman with this condition may have itching or burning and may notice a discharge. In general, these are symptoms of vaginitis:
irritation and/or itching of the genital area
inflammation (irritation, redness, and swelling caused by the presence of extra immune cells) of the labia majora, labia minora, or perineal area
vaginal discharge
foul vaginal odor
discomfort or burning when urinating
pain/irritation with sexual intercourse
excessive sleeping

Vaginal bacterial infection-Bacterial Vaginosis Picture

2007-07-25T04:54:00.000-07:00

When different types of bacteria outnumber the normal bacteria, Lactobacillus, an imbalance is caused in the bacterial organisms that exist in the vagina.
Instead of Lactobacillus bacteria being the most numerous, increased numbers of other organisms are found in the vaginas of women with Bacterial vaginosis (BV) such as:
Bacteroides
Gardnerella vaginalis
Mobiluncus
Mycoplasma hominis

Vaginal Infection Treatment

2007-07-25T04:52:00.000-07:00

The cause of the infection determines the appropriate treatment. It may include oral or topical antibiotics and/or antifungal creams, antibacterial creams, or similar medications. A cream containing cortisone may also be used to relieve some of the irritation. If an allergic reaction is involved, an antihistamine may also be prescribed. For women who have irritation and inflammation caused by low levels of estrogen (postmenopausal), a topical estrogen cream might be prescribed.

Anatomy of the Vulva

2007-07-23T03:07:00.000-07:00

Discomfort from a vaginal infection is often felt over the entire vulva. Although the infection is inside the vagina, the irritating discharge drips onto the inner lips (labia minora).
The hymen is the membrane that separates the outside (the vulva) from the inside (the vagina).
The minor vestibular glands lie in the fold just in front of the hymen. At times, these vestibular glands can become inflamed, a condition called vulvar vestibulitis. This is should not be confused with burning vulva syndrome, a condition in which the discomfort is over a larger area.

Vulvar Pain (Vulvodynia)

2007-07-23T03:06:00.000-07:00

Vulvar pain, or vulvodynia, can have many origins. Most common are temporary irritation from yeast or other vaginal infections. If vulvar pain or irritation persists for months it is considered chronic. Vulvar pain may be burning, or may be sharp and stabbing. Sometimes the cause can be determined and treated, but many times a cause may not be found.

Vaginal Pain

2007-07-23T03:04:00.000-07:00

Vaginal pain is most commonly caused by infection. Sometimes scar tissue can occur after childbirth, surgery or trauma. In endometriosis tissue that normally lines the uterus can grow in the vagina and be painful. Muscle tension or spasm is a common cause of vaginal pain, and may respond to physical therapy and psychotherapy. Inflammation of the bladder from infection or interstitial cystitis (a sterile inflammation of the bladder) can also cause vaginal pain.

Vulva

2007-07-18T01:58:00.000-07:00

The external genital organs of the female are collectively known as the vulva (plural vulvae, vulvas) or genitalia feminina externa. In common speech, the term vagina is often used improperly to refer to the vulva or female genitals generally, even though, strictly speaking, the vagina is a specific internal structure and the vulva is the exterior genitalia only.

The soft mound at the front of the vulva is formed by fatty tissue covering the pubic bone, and is called is the mons pubis. The term mons pubis is Latin for "pubic mound", and is gender non-specific. In human females, the mons pubis is often referred to as the mons veneris, Latin for "mound of Venus" or "mound of love". The mons pubis separates into two folds of skin called the labia majora, literally "major (or large) lips". The cleft between the labia majora is called the pudendal cleft, or cleft of Venus, and it contains and protects the other, more delicate structures of the vulva. The labia majora meet again at a flat area between the pudendal cleft and the anus called the perineum. The colour of the outside skin of the labia majora is usually close to the overall skin colour of the individual, although there is considerable variation. The inside skin and mucus membrane are often pink or brownish. After the onset of puberty, the mons pubis and the labia majora become covered by pubic hair. This hair sometimes extends to the inner thighs and perineum.
The labia minora are two soft folds of skin within the labia majora. While labia minora translates as "minor (or small) lips", often the "minora" are of considerable size, and protrude outside the "majora". Much of the variation between vulvas lies in the significant variation in the size, shape, and color of the labia minora.
The clitoris is located at the front of the vulva, where the labia minora meet. The visible portion of the clitoris is the clitoral glans. Typically, the clitoral glans are roughly the size and shape of a pea, although they can be significantly larger or smaller. The clitoral glans are highly sensitive, containing as many nerve endings the analogous organ in males, the glans penis. The point where the labia minora attach to the clitoris is called the frenulum clitoridis. A prepuce, the clitoral hood, normally covers and protects the clitoris, however in women with particularly large clitorises or small prepuces, the clitoris may be partially or wholly exposed at all times. Often the clitoral hood is only partially hidden inside of the pudendal cleft.
The area between the labia minora is called the vulval vestibule, and it contains the vaginal and urethral openings. The urethral opening is located below the clitoris and just in front of the vagina. This is where urine passes from the bladder to the outside of the body.
The opening of the vagina is located at the bottom of the vulval vestibule, towards the perineum. The term introitus is more technically correct than opening, since unless something is inserted into the vagina, the vagina is collapsed, and the opening is closed. The introitus is sometimes partly covered by a membrane called the hymen. The hymen will rupture during vigorous sex, and the blood produced by this rupture is often used as a sign of virginity. However, the hymen may also rupture spontaneously during exercise, or be so minor as to not be noticeable. In some rare cases, the hymen may completely cover the vaginal opening, requiring surgical separation. Slightly below and to the left and right of the vaginal opening are two Bartholin glands which produce a waxy, pheromone containing substance, the purpose of which is not fully known.
The appearance of the vulva and the size of the various parts varies a great deal from one female to another, and it is common for the left and right sides to differ in appearance.

Development and formation of Clitoris

2007-07-16T02:21:00.000-07:00

At the time of embryogenesis the previously undifferentiated genital tubercle develops into the clitoris or the penis, along with all other major organ systems, making them homologous.

The head or glans of the clitoris is a simple bundle of 8000 nerve fibers, estimated to be twice the number found in the penis making it particularly well-suited for sexual stimulation.

The clitoris is a complex structure that includes the external and internal components. Visible to the eye is the clitoral hood (prepuce), which in full or part covers the head (clitoral glans), shaft and inner lips (labia minora). Inside the body are the legs or clitoral crura, urethral sponge, clitoral bulb (previously referred to as vestibule bulb) and corpora, perineal sponge, a network of nerves and blood vessels, suspensory ligaments, muscles and pelvic diaphragm. The clitoris extends from the front commissure where the edges of the outer lips (labia majora) meet at the base of the pubic mound to the fourchette. In humans, the clitoral shaft then extends several centimeters upwards and to the back, before splitting into the two legs, and shaped like an inverted "V", these crura extend around and to the interior of the outer labia.

There is considerable variation with regard to how much of the clitoris protrudes from the hood and how much is covered by it, ranging from complete, covered invisibility to full, protruding visibility. An article published in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology in July 1992 states that the average width of the clitoral glans to be with in the range of 2.5 – 4.5 mm (0.10-0.18 in) indicating that the average size is smaller than a pencil eraser. There is no correlation between the size of a clitoris and the person's age, neither to being post-menopausal, nor to height, weight or use of oral contraceptives. Those who have given birth do tend to have slightly larger measurements

During sexual arousal and during orgasm, the clitoris and the whole of the genitalia engorge and change color as these erectile tissues fill with blood, and the individual experiences vaginal contractions. Masters and Johnson documented the sexual response cycle, which has four phases and is still the clinically accepted definition of the human orgasm. More recent research has determined that some can experience a sustained intense orgasm through stimulation of the clitoris and remain in the orgasmic phase for much longer than the original studies indicate, evidenced by genital engorgement and color changes, vaginal contractions and ejaculation

Clitoris

2007-07-16T02:11:00.000-07:00

The clitoris is a sexual organ that is present in biologically female mammals. In humans, the visible knob-like portion is located near the anterior junction of the labia minora, above the opening of the urethra and vagina. Unlike the penis, which is homologous to the clitoris, the clitoris does not contain the distal portion of the urethra and functions solely to induce sexual pleasure. The only known exception to this is in the Spotted Hyena, where the urogenital system is modified so that the female urinates, mates and gives birth via an enlarged, erectile clitoris, known as a pseudo-penis.
