Female Masterbators – How Female Masturbation Improves Women’s Health
Everyone deserves a fulfilling sex life, whether that’s with partners or on their own. And it turns out female masturbation is a great way to improve almost all aspects of women’s health.
In the 1800s, physicians used pelvic massages involving clitoral stimulation to treat female hysteria. Now, many women find pleasure in sex toys that aren’t phallic-shaped.
The clitoris
The clitoris is the pea-sized nub of erectile tissue that protrudes from the end of your outer labia, right above your urethra (the tiny hole through which you pee). It’s often described as being hard, stiff, or dry and a bit like a thumb. However, there is much more to it than meets the eye.
It’s a small, sensitive organ with thousands of nerve endings and an exclusive function for female orgasm. And yet, it’s one of the least understood parts of a woman’s anatomy. In anatomical textbooks, it’s usually just a small blob or dot, and studies of its anatomy have been rare.
In 2005, Australian urologist Helen O’Connell thrust the clitoris into the public eye with her research on its full anatomy, using microdissection of cadavers and MRI of living women. Her discovery was that the glans we see is only part of a larger structure, which extends down the pelvic bone and wraps around the vaginal opening, with legs-like segments called crura and bulbs that become engorged when aroused.
Experimenting with the clitoral hood is an important first step in understanding the anatomy and sensations of this part of your body. Starting softly and gradually, experiment with your own fingers, your partner’s hands, or a variety of sex toys. Once you’ve practiced and gotten comfortable, try directly stimulating the clitoral hood with your fingers or a brushing motion. But don’t push too hard, as this is not a magic button and simply touching it won’t instantly produce an orgasm for most people.
The vagina
The vagina is a tube that connects your vulva to your uterus and cervix. It’s where menstrual blood leaves your body, and it’s where babies are born. It’s also where some people put their fingers, penises, sex toys, tampons, and menstrual cups. It has lots of sensitive nerve endings, which is why some women get pleasure from anal stimulation.
The inner wall of the vagina is made up of non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium female masterbators (similar to the tissue that lines your mouth and nose). It’s surrounded by lamina propria of muscularis and the external adventitia, which are both composed of smooth muscle with bundles of circular and longitudinal fibers. There are also bundles of blood and lymph vessels and glands that secrete mucus to keep the vulva moist.
When you stick your finger into your vulva, the first thing you’ll touch is your clitoris, and just below that will be your urethral opening. If you stick your finger a little further down, you’ll hit the anus, which is where sperm enters and exits during sexual intercourse. A little further down is your vulva, which can expand during sex or the birth of a baby. It’s what you can see from the outside when you spread your legs wide apart and open your vulva. It’s a pretty big place!
The urethra
The urethra is a Women’s Masters Manufacturers fibromuscular tube through which urine moves from the bladder to the outside of the body. It also acts as a passageway for semen during sexual activity.
In males, the urethra extends from the bladder down the length of the penis until it exits at the tip of the glans (the external urethral meatus or EUS). At its cranial end the urethra intersects with the prostate gland and seminal ducts of the testes where it receives sperm and other secretions that become semen. The urethra is narrower and less flexible than the vagina.
Like the bladder, the urethra is covered with an epithelium layer that helps to protect it from the high acidity environment of the urethral lumen. Its inner longitudinal muscle and outer striated muscles are reinforced by mucus that helps to keep the urethra moist and supple.
Many women confuse the urethra with the vagina, a fact that may be due to cultural expectations and stereotypes about female sexual anatomy. However, this misperception can lead to discomfort, especially during sex. It can also result in the insertion of foreign objects, which can damage the lining and introduce bacteria that can cause urinary tract infections (UTIs). The use of lubricant, especially medical-grade silicone, can reduce friction and reduce the likelihood of infection (1).
The cervix
The cervix is the lower narrow part of the female uterus (womb). It connects the main body of the uterus to the vagina and lines the canal leading into the uterus. The cervix is covered by glands that make thick mucus, which stops sperm entering the uterus and protects the uterus and upper female reproductive organs from harmful bacteria.
When a woman is fertile (before puberty and throughout pregnancy) the uterus develops a thick lining called the endometrium. Each month this endometrium is shed from the uterus through the cervix into the vagina. The cervix is also an important passage between the internal and external genitals, which makes it easy for a woman to go to the toilet or have sex.
The cervix is about 2 to 3 centimetres long and roughly cylindrical in shape. The cervix’s lower portion bulges into the top of the vagina and is known as the vulva, while its upper section protrudes into the pelvic/abdominal cavity and is called the mons.
