As soon as we hear about the anterior fornix, we think of the left filange (only Friends fans will know what we're talking about). But it turns out it's not the invented part of an airplane, but a part of the vagina, so how much do we really know about our genitals? Because the truth is, we continue to discover new things, points or areas, more or less sensitive, that have always existed and about which most of us had the same idea as about aeronautical mechanics. The fantastic thing is that ignorance has a cure, and the prize, in this case, is not a pass but overflowing pleasure. Are you ready?
What is Point A and where is it located?
In the 1990s, Malaysian physician Chua Chee Ann published the results of a study on vaginal dryness. In it, she stated that stimulation of what is now known as the A-spot or AFE (Anterior Fornix Erotic Zone) considerably increases lubrication and arousal, causing some women to experience orgasms of much greater intensity than they had ever experienced before.
So, what is this point and where is it located? First of all, you should know that the debate among doctors and sexologists doesn't focus on the presence of this area, which has already been proven, but on the effects its stimulation has on women. It's not uncommon; we know that every body is different and reacts differently to stimuli. Therefore, what we call point A is the anterior fornix. The fornix (because there is an anterior fornix, a posterior fornix, and lateral fornices) is a groove that surrounds the cervix and is located in the deepest part of the vagina. The anterior fornix, which is the one we are interested in here, is located in front of the cervix, an indentation between 2 and 2.5 cm deep and about 7 to 7.5 cm from the vaginal opening.
How can we distinguish point A from point G?
With so many points and letters, it's easy to get confused; however, the A-spot and the G-spot are completely different, even though both are located on the front wall of the vagina. The G-spot, to begin with, is not an organ or an exact anatomical point, but rather an area of more sensitive tissue characterized by a rough sensation and located much closer to the vaginal opening than the A-spot. The A-spot, on the other hand, is located much deeper, in the innermost part of the vagina, and its stimulation causes, among other things, intense and rapid lubrication.
How to stimulate the A-spot?
While there are endless things you can do with your own hands, stimulating the A-spot isn't one of them. Unless you have the Hulk's hands, it's difficult for your fingers to reach it. The best way to stimulate it, alone or with a partner, would be through a toy or penetration. A tip? Don't forget the clitoris. Once your A-spot is found, combine stimulation of both areas for more pleasure and multiple orgasms.
Best positions to stimulate the A-spot.
There are different positions that help stimulate the G-spot, however, the ones most recommended by experts to achieve this are:
- The doggy-style position.
- The woman is lying face down and the man is behind her.
- The woman is sitting on the edge of the bed and her sexual partner is kneeling in front of her.
- Lying on her back, she raises her legs while the man kneels and places her legs over his shoulders.
