There is a lot of half-knowledge about women’s private parts. Therefore, we asked a sex expert for clarification.
We’ve got six fun facts about women’s private parts for you – bet you don’t know the half of them!
1. now it’s getting hairy
Just a few years ago, according to a study by the University of Leipzig, 88 percent of women (and 67 percent of men) could not do without intimate shaving or at least trimmed pubic hair. In the meantime, more and more are having waxing instead of waxing, says partnership and sex counselor Beatrice Poschenrieder.
Just this: at the fashion brand American Apparel, bottom-with-window mannequins are supposed to point out the natural beauty of women. Lady Gaga presented her bush on the cover of the magazine “Candy” in 2013 and Gwyneth Paltrow proclaims everywhere that she wears it like in the 70s.
2. the K class

So it can only come off when he touches us there or we do it ourselves? “Our pearl is extremely sensitive,” says the expert. “That’s why you mustn’t overstimulate it, otherwise touching it can quickly become unpleasant, especially if you have little or no arousal yet.”
3. clitoral versus vaginal orgasm.
Which orgasm is better? “Since it’s known that a large part of the clitoris is hidden inside the vulva, there’s not much difference between the two,” says Poschenrieder. “If a woman actually climaxes only through her partner’s thrusts into the vagina, it’s often because the clitoris inside is co-stimulated.”
4. to the (G) point.
Since every woman is built differently, there is no such thing as the one G-spot. “Rather, it is an erogenous zone in the vagina, on the side facing the abdominal wall.” If you want to feel the orgasm-promising area named after German doctor Ernst Gräfenberg, you’ll only find it when you’re aroused, as the tissue then swells and reacts to stimuli. It feels rippled.
5. surprising effect of cranberry juice on women.
The mucous membranes of the vagina are colonized with bacteria that provide an acidic environment (pH 3.8 to 4.5) and thus ward off pathogens – too thorough washing can be harmful. Expert tip: Cranberry juice, yogurt and pineapple have a positive effect on the smell and taste of the vaginal flora, while asparagus, garlic and curry have an unfavorable effect.
6. train it, baby!
“If you strengthen your pelvic floor muscles and use them actively, so that they tightly enclose your best piece, for example, you will have more fun during sex,” emphasizes Beatrice Poschenrieder. The best training: tensing and relaxing the love muscles 10 to 20 times a day for a few seconds.
