We’ve all heard of the G-spot, but what about the A-spot?  Turns out that both men & women have an A-spot, but they’re not in the same, um, spot.

For men, the A-spot is the prostate gland reached via the rectum.  A partner should place a condom over a finger or vibrator, lubricate it well, and insert it about 3-4 inches up the man’s rectum.  Feel around for the prostate, which is about the size of a walnut and harder than the surrounding area.  Gently massage the prostate while also providing manual or oral simulation on the man’s penis and genitals.  Be sure to listen carefully to the man to ensure there is no pain or discomfort.  The result should be a rather explosive orgasm.  (diagram and details)

On women, the A-spot, also known as the “Anterior Fornix Erogenous Zone,” is located halfway between the cervix and G-spot on the front wall of the vagina.  The A-spot is a spongy, wrinkled lump and extremely sensitive to the touch.  There are even classes to help women discover and manipulate their A-spot.  Stimulation of an A-spot can result in increased vaginal lubrication and stronger orgasms.  (source)

Of course, this begs the question:  Where are the B, C, D, E and F-spots?

Australian researchers report that men who masturbate frequently have a lower risk of developing prostate cancer.  The study by the Cancer Council of Victoria surveyed 1,000 men who developed prostate cancer and 1,250 who did not.  All of the men were between the ages of 20 and 50.  The study found that men who masturbated more than five times each week were one-third less likely to develop prostate cancer.

The researchers told the BBC that the prostate produces one of the fluids involved in ejaculation and that frequent masturbation appears to flush out carcinogens that can collect in the prostate.  Sexual intercourse may not have the same effect because it increases the risk of contracting a sexually transmitted disease, which could raise the risk of cancer.

As a public service, I have included a new photo of Lindsay Lohan in a low-cut blue dress to help you reduce your chances of prostate cancer.

In spite of the fact that most adults do it, sex is one of the most misunderstood subjects. Much of the mystery and confusion about sex stems from the fact that many people believe that sex is dirty or at least something that should not be discussed in polite conversation.

With frank and honest discussion about sex suppressed, people are forced to seek sex information from similarly misinformed friends or worse yet, the Internet, with its seemingly endless stream of hardcore pornography.

Fortunately there are two new good sources of sex information on the Web: SexyNewz.com and FOXSexpert. The latter is a new column on FOXNews.com by Dr. Yvonne Kristín Fulbright, a sex educator, relationship expert, columnist and founder of Sexuality Source Inc.

In her most recent column, Fulbright discusses 8 sex myths that you should not believe. These sex myths include:

• A female is not a virgin if she does not have a hymen.
• Men are more visually stimulated than women.
• Only women can have multiple orgasms.

Regarding that last myth, Fulbright states: Females are not alone in their ability to reach bliss time and time again. Men too can experience several non-ejaculatory orgasms in a row during a single sex session. When a man has learned to back off from the “point of ejaculatory inevitability,” he’s likely to have an even “greater orgasmic applause.”

Perhaps I’m just not that good in bed, but rarely do I hear applause after an orgasm.

Many lovers are in hot pursuit of the Holy Grail of erogenous zones: the G-spot. Named after Dr. Ernest Grafenberg who coined the term in 1950, the G-spot didn’t become part of popular culture until the 1982 book, “The G Spot & Other Recent Discoveries About Human Sexuality.”

So what’s the big deal? The G-spot orgasm. Also referred to as a “vaginal” or “internal” orgasm, this type of climax involves the whole uterus, vagina and pelvic region. When stimulated, the G-spot activates one of the most powerful nerves in the body, the pelvic nerve. This nerve is connected to the uterus, urethra, bladder, pubococcygeus and uterine muscles, giving whole new meaning to the term, “Big O.” Many women have described the G-spot orgasm as a “deeper, more emotional and longer-lasting climactic high.” (source)

Yet a study published in the “International Society for Sexual Medicine” suggests that not all women have a G-spot. Gynecological ultrasounds showed the tissue between the urethra and vagina was thicker in those women who claimed to have had a G-spot orgasm. Some researchers believe the G-spot doesn’t exist at all and is “a sort of gynecological UFO: much searched for, much discussed, but unverified by objective means.”

So does the G-spot exist? Please comment below with your experiences.
