Two wing-shaped “legs.” In addition to the clitoris’ visible “nub,” its protective hood, and the clitoral shaft under the glans, there’s a hot spot most gals don’t know about: the “legs.” Medically known in biology as the crura — the singlular form of the word crus — these two wing-shaped legs stretch downward and to the sides for nearly four inches. Extra hint: They coast along the pubic arch.
Vestibular bulbs. Moreover, the clitoris also features two vestibular bulbs, which are around three to five inches long. They generally extend from the clitoral shaft and reach downward along the sides of the inner labia and vaginal opening. Also referred to as the clitoral bulbs, these bits are aggregations of erectile tissue that are an integral — and also internal —part of the clitoris.
Erectile tissue. Beyond being an anatomical part of the clitoris, what do the the crura and vestibular bulbs have in common? That they’re made of erectile tissue! Meaning, that, the stimulation of both areas causes the tissues to swell with blood, leading to amazing pleasure. Ding-ding-ding.
Tip. So, how should you go about stimulating these areas? "With gentle pressure and massage to the vulva, including the labia and clitoris, these underlying structures will be stimulated,” Dr. Steelsmith explained to Bottom Line Inc. "Some women choose to use vibrators or other devices to increase sensation.” Voila.
The perineum. Generally defined as the area between the vagina and the rectum, the perineum is another little-known hot spot on the female body. Also know as the perineal sponge, it also swells up when you’re sexually stimulated, feeling amazing when gently massaged or stroked.
Hui Yin. If you by chance believe in the power of acupressure, you’re in love: The center of the perineum is the location of a significant acupressure point called Hui Yin. According to Chinese medicine, stimulating the Hui Yin can enhance sexual energy. Who knew, huh?
Tip. What’s Dr. Steelsmith’s suggestion for pleasuring the perineum and/or the Hui Yin? “This area can be directly massaged during foreplay or intercourse,” she told Bottom Line Inc. "Some women report very pleasurable sensations when firm, rhythmic pressure is used.”
The urethral sponge. Better known as the G-sponge, the urethral sponge is located right behind the G-spot. It consists of erectile tissue and specialized gland that generate a fluid that some women ejaculate from their bodies during climax. It comes as no surprise, then, that the hot spot is a magical place in the female body.
The G-spot. We know what you’re wondering: Isn’t the G-sponge basically the same thing as the G-spot? Not really. “The G-spot earned its reputation for triggering orgasmic ecstasy only because pressing on it during arousal means stimulating the G-sponge,” Dr. Steelsmith explained to Bottom Line Inc. In other words, without the G-sponge there’s no G-spot.
Finding the G-sponge. Now that we’ve made the clear distinction between the two, exactly how does one find the G-sponge? It’s simple, really: Use your index or middle finger to reach one to two inches inside your vagina. Gently, of course.
Finding the G-sponge. While you’re reaching inside your vagina, curl your finger upward to feel along the center of the front vaginal wall. Then, gently press directly on the swollen, spongy area. Feel it? Good. Don’t? Go back to step one.
Ejaculation. Wondering if — or when — you’re going to gush, so to speak? Be patient. Ejaculation typically occurs after several minutes of consistent stimulation on the area, as this is around the time when the muscular contractions squeeze the fluid in the sponge into the urethra. (Beware: Opening up the floodgates can ruin your sheets, so you might want to place down a towel.)
Ejaculation. But are you just peeing when you ejaculate? Nuh-uh. According to Dr. Steelsmith, the fluid that emerges from the urethral opening is not, in fact, urine. Instead, it’s a clear and watery fluid — with a musky scent.
Tip. Aching to know how to get some G-sponge action? You’re in luck: “It is easiest to stimulate this special area with a finger or a vibrator,” Dr. Steelsmith told Bottom Line Inc. "And it is often stimulated by a man’s penis during intercourse, especially if he is entering the woman’s vagina from behind.”
Bottom line. While you might be initially intimated by the mere idea of venturing into these new hot zones, we urge you to at least try it out. The best that can happen? You have an orgasm that’s so deep and satisfying you’ll never turn back. The worst? You simply don’t like the stimulation — and thus, never do it again.
