Most adults know what an erection in men is and how it manifests itself. But, probably, hardly anyone realizes that a similar process is also characteristic of the female body. Many doctors have long doubted the reliability of the fact that a female erection exists. However, relatively recently this statement has been scientifically proven. The process and mechanisms of female erection are discussed in sections of the article.
The role of the clitoris in causing arousal
As you know, the female reproductive organs are located in the lower abdomen. These include the pubis, urethra, vagina, labia, clitoris. In the pubic region there are many nerve fibers and blood vessels. Therefore, the female reproductive organs are very sensitive.
In the process of arousal and as a result of foreplay, women get an erection. The clitoris and urethra have no actual reproductive function, they do not affect the process of conception and childbirth. However, these organs are responsible for a woman's enjoyment during sexual intercourse.
Clit structure
This body consists of several elements, such as:
- Head. This part of the clitoral structure lies behind the labia minora and is usuallyit is covered with a layer of skin. Therefore, the main part of the head is difficult to see.
- The middle region of the clitoris is called the cavernous body of the organ. It is covered with a film consisting of protein.
- Lower part of the clitoris. This area is located deep in the perineum, next to the bones of the pubic zone.
The erection of the clitoris occurs due to the cavernous bodies. It is the presence of such tissue that determines the similarity of this female organ with the penis. When excitation occurs, the cavernous bodies increase in size. This is due to the fact that there is increased blood flow to the pubic region. In the reproductive period, a woman has many cavernous bodies. During menopause, their number decreases.
Clitoral erection: what does it take to cause it?
Everyone knows that in the absence of arousal in men, normal sex is impossible. Erectile function in men is explained by the flow of a large amount of blood to the cavernous bodies. As a result, the penis increases in size, and this makes it possible to penetrate the woman's vagina. An erection in the fair sex is not easy to visually notice. That is why this process until recently raised many questions among scientists. However, later it was revealed that the erection of the clitoris during sex exists. In addition, many experts call this organ an analogue of the penis.
What is an erection in women and how does it occur? Everyone knows that the process of arousal in men is associated with the visual perception of the body of a representative of the opposite sex. However, in womenIt is not that simple. In order to excite a lady, a man needs to say pleasant things to her, take care of her, give gifts. It is also important to prepare a woman for sexual intercourse with the help of foreplay.
This will help her relax. You can also talk about sex with your partner. After all, fantasies play a big role in causing arousal in women.
Clit erection: what is it for?
This process is necessary in order to ensure normal sexual contact. When blood rushes to the cavernous bodies, the clitoris enlarges. The vagina also swells and its walls become more flexible. This is due to the fact that blood flows to this organ. Thus, when aroused, the vagina is able to stretch, accommodate the man's penis and adapt to its size.
During sexual intercourse, a woman, like a man, is able to experience an orgasm. True, unlike the representatives of the stronger sex, ladies do not always feel it. There are women who have never had an orgasm at all. However, unlike men, who need this process to release seminal fluid, in the fair sex, it does not affect reproductive function.
How does erectile function manifest in women?
The fair sex may not always be aware of this process. It is almost not accompanied by any special sensations. However, an erection of the clitoris may be visible externally. Facewomen blush, red spots appear on the body.
Also, areolas can become firmer. Another sign of arousal in women is the release of a special liquid - lubricant. It facilitates the penetration of the penis into the vagina. It also protects the vagina from mechanical damage that is associated with friction and can occur during sexual contact. This fluid plays an important role in the process of fertilization. It allows male sex cells to enter the uterus. Insufficient lubrication adversely affects the quality of sexual intercourse. A woman may experience pain as a result of microtrauma and does not get satisfaction from sex. An insufficient amount of this fluid is due to hormonal imbalances and is often observed during menopause.
As for the process of arousal and erection of the clitoris, we can say that this is a complex phenomenon. It is influenced by both physiological and psychological factors.
For a woman to enjoy sex, it is important not only to study her body well, but also to establish a trusting relationship with her partner.
