Female Sex Organs Structure and Their Functions

The female organs are much more complicated than male. As they are confined in the body and not openly visible, most of the girls are ignorant about their organs. Hence it is important that full knowledge about the female organs structure and their functions be discussed in detail.

Vulva - The two visibly fleshy folds, covered with hair are the outer lips or labia Majora. When parted, they reveal two smaller or inner lips or labia. The insides of the inner are covered with the mucous membranes. The inner lips of labia are one of the several sexual sensation centers. During intercourse these labia remain constantly massaged by the rubbing of the penis.

The principal organ of the sex feeling, the clitoris, is situated just above junction of the inner lips. The clitoris looks like a mini penis having erectile tissue and head and free skin. It is covered form above by a hood of skin. The clitoris is made of highly sensitive nerves which respond very well to sexual stimulation. It is from this entire that the sexual feeling begins and permeates in the entire body through vulva and vagina. When erect, the clitoris looks like the size or shape of small bean. About an inch below the clitoris is a small opening of the tube called urethra. Its duct conducts the urine from the bladder. The urethra has only the urinary function and no sexual function.

The mucous membrane above the clitoris is covered with glands which secret smegma. Owing to the structure, cleanliness in the woman is a little more difficult than in the man. It is not only hygienically necessary to keep it clean but also for this reason that it emits foul smell which tend to inhibit sexual desire in the man.

Hymen - Just below the urinary passage is the entrance to vagina. In a normal virgin girl, this opening remains partially closed by a thin membrane called the hymen. Though it appears in different shapes but normally it looks like a crescent in shape appearing like the forward extension of the black walls of the vagina. In many cases during the first intercourse when the hymen is ruptured there may be slight bleeding and pain. It is a false notion that the hymen is the symbol of virginity. A nicked or stretched or tattered hymen does not mean the body has been penetrated into. It could be ruptured on account of jerks or falls that a young girl might experience. Many girls may not have much of it or others may lose it in doing some kind of vigorous job.

Vagina - It is a tube or canal extending from vulva to the neck of the uterus. It is three and half to 4 inches in length in its normal relaxed position. It is here that the penis in intercourse is sheathed with its elastic walls. It receives the seminal discharge and allows the sperm to travel forward towards the womb in search of an ovum. It is through this tube that a child passes to the outside world.

The flexible walls of the vagina are lined by a mucous membrane secreting a fine fluid which keeps it moist and clean. It has great releasing and contracting power. It is because of this reason that the vagina besides being made up of flexible walls, is able to accommodate much larger penis not withstanding its small cavity.

Although well intentioned, this article is too superficial and misleading. The description of the clitoris for example is simply wrong. For an accurate depiction of the female genital form and function, see www.esybron.org
