Basic Sexual Anatomy: The Basics Everyone Should Know

Female Sexual Anatomy

✅ 1️⃣ Vulva:

• The external part you see. Includes the labia majora (outer lips) and labia minora (inner lips).

• Everyone’s vulva looks different — all shapes, sizes, and colors are normal.

✅ 2️⃣ Clitoris:

• A powerful pleasure center. The visible part is just the tip — most of it is inside the body.

• Has thousands of nerve endings — its only function is pleasure!

✅ 3️⃣ Vagina:

• The internal canal leading to the cervix.

• It’s elastic and self-cleaning — avoid harsh soaps inside.

• Discharge is normal — it keeps things healthy.

✅ 4️⃣ Cervix & Uterus:

• The cervix is the opening to the uterus.

• Plays a role in menstruation, fertility, and childbirth.

✅ 5️⃣ G-Spot:

• Some people have extra-sensitive tissue a few inches inside the vagina, on the front wall.

• It’s debated, but many find it pleasurable.

Male Sexual Anatomy

✅ 1️⃣ Penis:

• Has a shaft and a sensitive head (glans).

• Erection happens when blood flows in.

✅ 2️⃣ Scrotum & Testicles:

• The scrotum holds the testicles, which produce sperm and testosterone.

• Temperature regulation helps sperm stay healthy.

✅ 3️⃣ Prostate:

• A small gland below the bladder that contributes fluid to semen.

• Can be a source of pleasure for some people when stimulated.

Gender Diversity & Anatomy

Not everyone’s body fits perfectly into male/female labels. Many trans, intersex, or non-binary people have unique anatomy or choose surgery to align their bodies with their identities. Every body is valid.
