Facts You Never Knew About Your Vagina

The female body is beautiful and at the same time, very secretive. Even though we pussy-lovers might spend a lot of time thinking about it, there are plenty of incredible facts about this particular part of a woman’s anatomy you probably didn’t know. For some surprising facts about your vagina, read on…

The word vagina comes from Latin and originally meant the sheath for the sword. Now surely you can see the (really, really, terrible) connection, right? However, there are endless pet names for the holiest of the holy, the temple of love, the pink pearl, the yoni, the good ol’ vajayjay. That’s because we love talking about it.

The length of the vagina in standard resting position is between 7 to 10 centimetres but it can grow up to double that when stimulated. That’s good to know for the well-endowed guys out there. However, it’s the first few inches that are the most receptive to pleasure so it’s not all about the length.

Although the huu-haa is full of bacteria, it’s nothing to be scared of. In fact, this bacteria has similar beneficial qualities than the dairy products that are touted to be oh-so-good for you. Go on, go down on her – maybe it will help your digestion. Even if it didn’t, it’s always a good idea.

There is over 8000 nerve endings in the clitoris (coincidentally it’s also the only organ in the human body whose only function is pleasure!). In comparison, the penis has measly 4000. No wonder that for many ladies it’s all about the clit when it comes to sex. However, there’s a lot going on down there as there are over 15 000 nerve endings in the vulva area so there are many ways of pleasuring her.

The pubic hair lives only about three weeks, whereas the hair on your head can live up to seven years. While unfortunately this doesn’t quite eliminate the need for grooming, it does make it less compulsory.

The natural lubricant of the yoni is called squalen. This just so happens to be the same substance that is found in the liver of sharks and that is also where the name comes from. I kid you not. That might be why she is such a beast in bed, huh?

The lady garden also has its very own self-cleansing system. A feat of engineering, it is designed to keep itself clean with the help of discharge. Please don’t interpret that so that you do not need to wash down there. However, it is a good idea to avoid perfumed soaps as they might mess with your natural Ph balance and lead to irritation.

The oldest known gynaecological tool already existed in 1300BC. I can only imagine what a crude tool that must have been, although I would rather not.

Important to know: you cannot lose anything into your special place. It’s not a black hole where things can just disappear. Just in case you ever worried sticking something up there and not being able to get it out anymore since it slipped into your uterus – not going to happen. That doesn’t mean you should go and experiment too much as there have been reports of women seriously hurting themselves using, for instance, bananas.

The highest score of orgasms ever felt by a woman was 134 orgasms in one hour. Now take a moment to let that sink in. That is more than two orgasms per minute. In comparison the record for men is 16 orgasms in one hour. Even that, I must say, is pretty impressive. Nothing compared to 134, of course…
