Hitting All the Right Spots: Learn the Pleasure Points on the Body

Most of us have some basic knowledge of the pleasure points on the body, but having more in-depth knowledge can open you up to experience even greater pleasure. A better understanding of the pleasure points and how they work will allow you to tap into pleasure whether it is with your partner(s) or completely by yourself. 

The clitoris has long been known as the pleasure center of the female body as it solely functions for pleasure. If you have ever seen a vulva then you more than likely have seen a part of the clitoris. Yep, a part of it because the bulk of the clitoris is internal. The external part that can be seen is the clitoral hood, the tip of the clitoris. The internal portion of the clitoris sits around the urethra and vaginal canal and internally under the entire vulva, meaning that stimulation of the vulva in most ways is actually stimulation of the clitoris.

The G-Spot is one of the most well-known pleasure points by name, but it is a saucy little minx of surprises. The G-Spot is named after Ernst Gräfenberg who is credited with discovering it. The G-Spot is known as the textured spot on the top of the vaginal canal that when stimulated leads to orgasm, but that is the whole story. The G-Spot is actually a part of the clitourethrovaginal (CUV) complex, which has been used in more recent years, especially within the scientific community, to more accurately describe what is really involved in female orgasms. 

The cervix is a great pleasure point for some and not enjoyed by others. It is another deep vaginal zone that can be stimulated. It is the barrier between the vaginal canal and the uterus. The cervix is a collection of tissue that keeps things from entering the uterus that aren’t supposed to. Most pleasure comes from an insertable toy or penis stimulating the cervix. Stimulation of the cervix changes throughout one’s menstrual cycle, with the height of the cervix adjusting as well as the firmness and softness of the cervix. Knowing your or your partner’s cycle will help you to choose positions that take cervical height into consideration.

The A-Spot, or the anterior fornix erogenous zone, is one of the deeper pleasure points on the female body. To stimulate the A-Spot you have to first locate it. It is going to be on the roof of the vaginal canal just before you get to the cervix and below/behind the bladder. Applying pressure and stimulation to the A-Spot stimulates the bladder and, in some people, can lead to squirting, but it is not a guarantee. The A-Spot is a deep vaginal zone (DVZ), which is important to consider if someone experiences pain during sex, this might not be ideal.

The pelvic floor muscles are one of the trickier pleasure points because it is less about directly stimulating the area and more so about how it interacts with other areas to provide pleasure. The pelvic floor muscles are all around the vaginal and anal canals, meaning that when they contract, they stimulate those areas. Pelvic floor muscles are pleasurable as they contract and release during sexual activity. You can tap into the pleasure of the pelvic floor muscles by training them in various ways. Breathing exercises can help you better connect with your pelvic floor muscles and then strengthening activities can help you to control them.
