THE CLITORIS HAS 8,000 NERVE ENDINGS.
That is double the amount of nerve endings found in the penis. It is the most sensitive part of a woman's erogenous zone, and sensations from this area can spread to affect 15,000 other nerve endings in the body.

So much power from something so small. And while we are on the topic, it's the only part of a woman's body that's sole function is pleasure.

SHARKS AND VAGINAS?
When aroused, women secrete a natural lubricant containing an organic compound called squalene. This substance also exists in a shark's liver. When squalene is harvested from a shark's liver, it is often added to skin creams where it acts as an emollient.

NOTHING LOST, EVERYTHING GAINED
It is impossible to lose anything in your vagina. Unless you are giving birth, the opening to the uterus is too small for anything to pass through, and the cervical wall will block anything of
size from going elsewhere. But, something getting stuck up there is a whole other can of worms... If you think your tampon may have migrated north a bit, just reach in and hunt around. You'll find it. And if you can't find it, whatever "it" is, go to your gyno! It's their
Job to help you out!

Vaginal discharge acts as a cleaning agent for the vagina, and using feminine wipes or vaginal washes can throw your pH balance out of whack. This will increase your risk of yeast infections and urinary tract infections. Just let your body do its thing.
If you do happen to get a yeast infection, eat yogurt that has active cultures in it! And/or see your gyno.

IT IS POSSIBLE TO BE ALLERGIC TO SPERM.
If you feel an itching or burning sensation after sex, and know it isn't an STI, it is possible that you are allergic
to your partner's sperm. It is rare, but if you suspect this may be the case, see your gyno. Most frustrating is that a woman can be allergic to one partner's sperm but not another's.

ORGASMS WORK WONDERS ON YOUR LADY PARTS.
When the big O happens, the muscular contractions
help alleviate menstrual cramps. A Men's Health poll determined that 60 percent of men are very content with engaging in period sex. Because your hormones are basically doing the Tango when you're menstruating, your partner can blow your mind with little effort.
And endorphins, the natural pain relievers, are released during an orgasm and can help cure headaches and other annoying pains.
