Episode notes
Vagina Versus Vulva
- The vagina is a muscular, elastic canal inside the body and the external parts are the vulva.
- Using 'vagina' as a catch-all term is like calling your whole face a tongue.
Tenting Explains Size Changes
- During arousal the vagina undergoes 'tenting' and can double in length and widen significantly.
- The vagina is elastic and returns to its resting state; sex does not permanently 'stretch' it.
Clitoris: The Pleasure Powerhouse
- The clitoris is a large internal erectile structure with about 8,000 nerve endings dedicated to pleasure.
- Only about 18% of women orgasm from penetration alone, so clitoral stimulation matters.
