The u-spot is one of the erogenous zones on a woman's body. Let's look at where the u-spot is and how to stimulate it correctly. And also a lot of very useful information about the super-sensitive zones on a woman's body - the a-spot and the g-spot.

The female body contains many erogenous zones, first of all, it is the well-known g-spot, which is still being debated to this day. In addition to the g-spot, there is the u-spot and even the a-spot. But these are far from all the sensitive zones that are on the female body. The peculiarity of erogenous zones is that with their correct stimulation, a woman can get unforgettable pleasure and orgasm.

The u-spot is a soft erectile tissue that is dotted with nerve endings. The u-spot is located between the vaginal opening and the urethra. You can find such an erogenous zone yourself, while taking a bath or shower. We are not talking about masturbation, first you need to find the desired erogenous zone and understand what kind of stimulation brings more pleasure, be it gentle touches or light stroking. After you have found your u, you can lead your partner to stimulate the sensitive area.

Please note that stimulation of the u-spot does not always have to end with intercourse. Very often, simple fingering and stroking can bring a woman to incredible excitement and even to orgasm. Since the point is located near the clitoris, with proper stimulation, it will become a new source of pleasure.

Gua points

Gua points are highly sensitive erogenous zones on the female body. Let's take a closer look at each of the points, their features, stimulation rules and location.

  1. G is the most famous erogenous point. Both women and men have a g-zone. In women, it is located on the front wall of the vagina, 5-6 centimeters deep, and in men, in the rectum, between the anus and the prostate. The sensitive area can be stimulated with fingers or during intercourse. There are special positions that allow for maximum stimulation of g during sex.
  2. U – unlike the erogenous zone described above, it is less known, but no less sensitive. Of course, it is not quite correct to call the u point, since it is a rather voluminous area. The erogenous zone is located above the urethra, on both sides of it. According to the results of the studies, the u point is not sensitive in all women. That is, not every woman gets pleasure and is excited by its stimulation. The u point is erectile tissue, which is dotted with nerve endings. With proper stimulation of the erogenous zone, a woman experiences strong sexual arousal and the urge to urinate.
  3. The A-spot is a cluster of sensitive tissues in the anterior zone of the vagina, between the cervix and the bladder. Special arousal during stimulation of the A-spot occurs at the moment of contraction of the tissues surrounding the uterus. Stimulation of the A-spot is possible when the penis penetrates the cervix by about 3 cm. At this moment, the partner can feel a strong contraction of the woman's muscles and significant moistening of the organs. If this happens, then the A-spot has been found correctly.

Gua points are special erogenous zones on the female body. Correct stimulation of these points leads to arousal and unforgettable pleasure. But the main rule for finding and stimulating sensitive gua is trust in your partner.

U-spot in women

The u-spot in women is a little-known erogenous zone. The erotic and arousing potential of the point has recently been studied in clinical studies in the United States. The u-spot got its name from the English Urethral spot, that is, the point of the urethra. So, according to research, u is another erogenous zone on a woman's body, with the right stimulation of which you can bring your partner to orgasm and pleasant arousal.

U is located outside the urethra, that is, above the opening of the vaginal entrance. The point is located slightly below the urethra, between it and the vagina. Anatomically, the u point is defined as Skene's glands or as a spongy body of the urethra.

Skene's glands are named after Alexander Skene, who was the first to discover and describe this erogenous zone in medical literature. Thus, according to the scientist's research, the u-spot is called the small vestibular (paraurethral) glands or, in other words, the female prostate gland. The u-spot is located throughout the spongy body of the urethra and is similar in structure, that is, homologous to the male prostate gland. The u-spot covers the urethra, clitoris and entrance to the vagina. All this suggests that with proper stimulation of the u-spot, a woman can get crazy pleasure that surpasses the classic vaginal orgasm.

Where is point u?

Where is the u-spot and how to find it correctly? First of all, it is worth knowing that the u-spot or zone is a special area of soft erectile tissue. Arousal occurs due to the fact that this area contains many nerve endings. U is located between the entrance to the vagina and the urethra.

The sensitivity of the u-spot is individual. In addition, each representative of the fair sex has its own location of the u-zone. So, for some, the point is in the middle of the urethra, for others it is closer to the entrance to the vagina. The sensitivity of the u-spot depends on the location.

As a rule, during sexual intercourse, the u-spot is not stimulated or even touched, so for additional arousal, it requires special attention and stimulation. To get unforgettable sensations, you can try to act on all erogenous zones at once. For these purposes, the position when the woman is on top and slightly bent forward is ideal. In this case, the effect will be on the u-spot and the female prostate gland, that is, the Skene's glands. In any case, when searching for the u-spot, the woman will get a lot of pleasure.

How to find point u?

How to find the u-spot is a question that interests many women who want to get even more pleasure from sexual intercourse. The search for the u-spot is also interesting for men who are looking for more and more new ways to please their partner. The erogenous zone u got its name from the English word urine, that is, the urethra or urinary canal. Correct stimulation of the u-spot promotes the production of the happiness hormone serotonin.

It is very easy to find the u-spot, it is enough to stimulate the areas on both sides of the urethra. A woman can stimulate the u-spot herself, with light touches and stroking with the pads of her fingers. The u-spot can also be touched during sexual intercourse. To do this, the woman should push her pelvis towards the man's hips so that the erogenous u touches the penis.

If you still doubt the sensitivity of the u-spot, try to lightly touch the erogenous zone. Note that the u-spot covers the clitoris and the entrance to the vagina. That is, when stimulating the u-spot, you can get an amazing clitoral orgasm. It is recommended to stimulate the u-spot in several ways. First of all, this is masturbation, when a woman independently studies the sensitivity of her body. Petting and foreplay of a partner is another way to find the u-spot and give pleasure.

Orgasmic points gua

Orgasmic points gua are areas of the female body with increased sensitivity. Stimulation of each of the points separately, as well as all at once, is a great opportunity to diversify sexual intercourse, make sex more intense, exciting and thrilling. Each of the orgasmic points is a lump of nerve endings that diverge throughout the female body and deliver indescribable pleasure.

Point A

This erogenous zone is considered the second most sensitive, after g. The point is located in the front part of the vagina, between the cervix and the bladder. The hypersensitive a is a cluster of tissues with nerve endings, touching which spreads pleasure and a slight tremor throughout the body. With sufficient arousal and proper stimulation of the a point, the tissues surrounding the uterus begin to contract.

The real name of the a-spot is AFE (Anterior Fornix Erogenous). The erogenous zone was discovered in 1994 by Malaysian gynecologist Chua Chi Ann. Since the a-spot is located deep in the vagina, it can only be stimulated with a vibrator or during intercourse. If the point is found, lubrication begins to be actively secreted, which indicates approaching pleasure. Very often, even the penis does not reach the a-spot, so without sex toys, a woman may never feel how sensitive her body is, and especially the a-spot.

Point U

The orgasmic u-spot is located near the urethra at the entrance to the urethra. Simply put, the u-spot is located between the entrance to the vagina and the clitoris. The erogenous zone is responsible for the production of female ejaculate (fluid released during orgasm and associated with squirt). During stimulation of the u-spot, the urge to urinate appears. This is explained by the fact that when massaging the u-spot, the Skene's glands are also affected, that is, the female prostate gland, located along the spongy body of the urethra.

To achieve an orgasm, u can be stimulated independently with your fingers or you can ask your partner to do it. The best option to get pleasure from stimulation of u is cunnilingus, that is, stimulation with the tongue. To do this, the partner needs to make soft circular movements. During an orgasm from the u point, the woman feels quick spasms and trembling throughout the body. During normal sex, the u point is not affected. The erogenous zone can be stimulated with your fingers or use the position when the woman is on top and leaning forward. By the way, this position allows you to reach and stimulate all the orgasmic points gu a. •

G-spot

The most popular erogenous zone is a small lump on the front wall of the vagina. The g-spot was named after the German gynecologist Ernst Grafenberg, who discovered it by feeling it at a depth of 5-6 cm behind the urethra and pubic bone. G, like the u-spot, is the most sensitive erogenous zone on the female body. The point can be stimulated manually, thereby giving the woman unforgettable sensations, or using special positions that will allow you to stimulate g during sex.

But at the same time, the g-spot is not so well known as the clitoris, and not many women dare to search for the cherished g. The most interesting thing is that men have a g-zone, they have it in the anus, between the anus and the prostate gland. In women, the g-spot is like a pea, which swells during stimulation, and the male g resembles a chestnut, which can be felt at a depth of 4-6 cm in the anus. Stimulation and pleasure of male and female g completely depend on trust in the partner and emancipation, that is, the willingness to receive pleasure.

Stimulation of the u-spot

Stimulation of the u-spot can be done during masturbation or intercourse. A good option for stimulating this erogenous zone is the missionary position, or the position in which the girl is on top. But the most ideal option for stimulating the u-spot is cunnilingus, that is, a tongue massage. What else can you touch such a sensitive area with, if not your tongue? In addition, the man independently controls this process, focusing on the reactions and wishes of his partner.

Stimulation of the u-spot can also be done with a finger. Men's fingers play one of the decisive roles during petting and foreplay, stimulating every part of the female body. In order to stimulate the u-spot with a finger, it is enough to move from the top of the clitoris to the beginning of the vagina. But do not press hard on the erogenous zone, since instead of pleasure, this can cause pain and the partner's refusal to further participate in this kind of caresses. Finger movements should be both vertical and horizontal, for greater pleasure, you can use a lubricant, that is, lubrication.

As for stimulating the u-spot with the tongue, this method is more difficult than stimulating with a finger, but much more effective. The whole problem is that not all men agree to give oral caresses to their partner. You can also influence the u-spot with the penis. To do this, you can use the position when the woman is on top or simply caress the sensitive area with the tip of the penis.

Erogenous point u

The erogenous u-spot is an area of erectile tissue with increased sensitivity. The u-spot is located on both sides of the urethra, slightly above the entrance to the vagina, but below the clitoris. In the process of studying and researching the erogenous potential of the u-spot, it was found that the sensitive area can be stimulated and caressed with fingers during masturbation, tongue or penis during intercourse.

Since the u-spot is part of the urethra, it is worth remembering about female ejaculation. For example, in men, the urethra is a channel through which both seminal fluid, that is, sperm, and urine move. Many people mistakenly believe that the female urethra only excretes urine, but this is not true. During a powerful orgasm, some representatives of the fair sex can secrete a special liquid from the urethra, but this is not urine.

With proper stimulation of the erogenous point u, the Skene's glands are also affected, producing an alkaline liquid similar in its chemical structure to male sperm. The amount of such liquid can be from a few drops to 2-4 tablespoons. With a strong contraction of the pelvic muscles, the liquid comes out as a stream, and this phenomenon is called squirting. The most interesting thing is that such a manifestation of complete pleasure and a clear example of an orgasm can cause complexes and even quarrels among partners. Since some men who are not educated and not familiar with the nuances of a woman's orgasm, take squirting for a stream of urine.

U-spot orgasm

The u-spot orgasm is often associated and compared to the clitoral orgasm. This is because during the stimulation of the urethra and the u-spot, the clitoris is also affected. Every woman can experience this type of orgasm. In addition, in the postpartum period, the u-spot orgasm and clitoral orgasm are the only available way to satisfy a woman, since contact with penetration may be prohibited.

But most often, the orgasm of the u-spot occurs during masturbation. To achieve an orgasm from stimulating the u-spot, you can use your fingers, penis, or engage in cunnilingus. To achieve an orgasm, you can also use special positions, for example, the 69 position, when each partner receives oral caresses. Stimulating the u-spot can be done with the woman on top and leaning slightly forward, or any other position in which the woman herself or the sexual partner can stimulate the u-spot with a finger. Many sexologists recommend using sex toys, which allow you to diversify your sex life and work out all the erogenous points and zones on the female body.

U-spot massage

Massage of the u-spot, that is, stimulation of one of the super-sensitive female erogenous zones, must be done correctly. First of all, it is necessary to get excited, for this, foreplay or petting are suitable. It is at this moment that the man can begin to massage the u-spot. In order for the massage to cause an orgasm, it is recommended to use the cunnilingus technique, that is, the impact on the erogenous zone with the tongue. In addition to oral caresses, you can stimulate the u with your fingers. This can be done independently during masturbation, or you can entrust such an intimate matter to your partner.

But don't be upset if during the stimulation of the u-spot the orgasm was not achieved or there were no special arousing sensations. Each woman is unique, so one is able to experience a wild orgasm from light stimulation of the erogenous point, and for another orgasm is possible only with full sexual intercourse.

The u-spot is one of the most sensitive erogenous zones on a woman's body. Stimulation of this point can give pleasant sensations of arousal and a long orgasm. There are several methods of stimulation, each of which allows you to open up the female erogenous u-spot. The main thing is not to be afraid of experiments and trust your partner.
