Anatomy of Pleasure

Many of us have not been taught about the anatomy of our genitals. They are hidden from view for the most part and there are lots of cultural taboos that have cut us off from exploring below the belt. We firmly believe in the power that comes from knowing our genitals both visually and through touch. We encourage you to have a hand mirror – or a free standing makeup mirror that will allow you to easily see your genitals from a slightly reclined seated position.

You can follow along with the video and also use the Female Sexual Anatomy Worksheet for a detailed reference.

We also recommend checking out 3DVulva.com, where you can see animated images of the anatomy of the vulva, vagina, clitoris, and reproductive organs.

Once we understand the anatomy of our genitals we can then begin to isolate the muscles of the pelvic floor and start to practice Kegel exercises. Kegel exercises help tone the pelvic floor muscles. One of the benefits of these exercises, besides preventing incontinence as we age, is enhanced sexual pleasure. Doing Kegel exercises during masturbation or sex with a partner can enhance sensation in the whole pelvic region.
