There’s lots of mystery about a woman’s vagina, vulva, clitoris, G-Spot, etc., etc. It’s enough to make men that want to please their woman lose their shit.

One of these mysteries is the difference between the “vagina” and the “vulva.” If you know what’s up it can make a big difference in your love making.

Here’s the descriptions from our good friends at Sex Coach University (my alma mater):

The difference is actually quite simple. The word “vagina” refers to the canal that connects the uterus to the outside world. Both babies and menstrual blood flow through this canal and out through the vaginal opening. Penises, fingers, and toys can be inserted into this canal.

“Vulva” is the term that encompasses the external genitalia. As the National Vulvodynia Association (NVA) states, “the vulva is the external part of the female genitalia. It protects a woman’s sexual organs, urinary opening, vestibule and vagina and is the center of much of a woman’s sexual response. The outer and inner ‘lips’ of the vulva are called the labia majora and labia minora.”
