Take a Virtual Tour Through Your Lady Parts No mirror necessary.

Forget GPS. Some of us could benefit from a little CPS. When asked in a study to point to the clitoris on a diagram of the female genitalia, 29 percent of women and 25 percent of men were completely lost, the majority of those believing it was located "on the front wall of the vaginal canal." Nope! Considering it's the epicenter of pleasure for most women, a tutorial is in order. So lock the door, grab a hand mirror, and let's inspect your
ittiest bits.
 
PREPUCE Gently pull back your outer and inner vaginal lips, and up top you'll see this little hood. Like the foreskin on an uncircumcised penis, it protects your glans clitoris (your big O spot) and "retracts when you become aroused," says Lauren Streicher, M.D., an associate clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Northwestern University and author of Sex RX.
GLANS CLITORIS
Lift the prepuce and you'll meet the external part of the clitoris—and the orgasm holy grail. This pink little nub contains 8,000 supersensitive nerves. The closer it is to your vaginal opening, the higher the chances you'll get off during penetrative sex. If yours is spaced further away (we're talking a difference in millimeters), try a rear-entry position while your guy rubs your GC with a hand or a vibrator, says Streicher.
CORPUS CAVERNOSUM
These are the "legs" of the clitoris, which are connected to the glans clitoris. They're located inside your body (like a muscle), so they aren't visible or touchable from the outside. They contain erectile tissue and swell with blood when you become aroused. Unlike a schlong, however, they don't rise when you get a lady boner.
URETHRAL OPENING
This bitty dot located a smidge under the clitoris is where pee comes out—and possibly ejaculate for the 10 percent or more of women who "squirt" during orgasm. Streicher says we aren't sure if the fluid is entirely ejaculate from the Skene's glands, or whether it's mixed with some urine. In any case, it is not an erogenous part.
VAGINA OPENING
To put it bluntly, where your man puts his P. "It doesn't have nearly as many nerve endings or the same kind of sensitivity as the clitoris, though, which explains why most women don't climax simply from penetration," explains Streicher.
G-SPOT
A bundle of nerves located two to three inches inside your vagina, along the roof (closer to your stomach than back). Is it an extension of the clitoris or a separate structure? That's up for debate. But stroking it can feel intensely satisfying.
CERVIX
Located about four to six inches inside your vagina, where the vaginal canal ends (though this distance varies from woman to woman and also lengthens a few inches to accommodate a penis when a woman is aroused, says Streicher). A well-endowed partner (or sex toy) can stimulate it, and some women say that's enough to make them peak.
