The Letter G in Sexual Health: Genitals, G-Spots and Gonorrhea, Oh Gee!

Male Genitals: the genitals of the male consist of the penis and scrotum. Some men have the foreskin still attached at the head of the penis and other men have had this foreskin removed, which is called a circumcision. The scrotum is a sac that surrounds the testes and protects them while at the same time keeping the temperature at a specific degree for the sperm. The head of the penis is very sensitive as is the scrotum. A man’s penis can be soft or hard depending on the stimulation.

Female Genitals: are much more complicated than the males. They begin with the vulva, clitoris, and vagina. The vulva contains the mons pubis, labia majora and minor and the clitoris. The clitoris is the only anatomical organ whose sole function is to bring pleasure. The vagina is a tube like structure that is very muscular and expandable. Many women find sexual gratification when the vaginal walls are stimulated during intercourse. Then there are those who cannot have an orgasm through sexual intercourse and need to be stimulated via the G-spot or clitoris.

The G-spot or Grafenberg spot: Women can ejaculate during intercourse if the G-spot is stimulated in just the right way. The G-spot is located between the pelvic bone and the cervix and is highly sensitive. The only reason this spot  is  there,  as  it  appears  now,  is  to  provide pleasure for the woman. When the G-spot is stimulated, it swells slightly as it fills with blood. If you locate this G-spot, you can manipulate a woman’s orgasm to last from several seconds to several minutes and possibly longer.

To find this magical place, insert a finger or two inside the vagina facing upward and use a “come hither tilt” with your finger and you should have no problems finding the G-spot. This spot can also be manipulated with the penis as well as other methods. If you want to experiment with the G-spot, you want to make sure the bladder is empty because the intense orgasms will feel a bit like she needs to urinate.

Gonorrhea: someone who is infected. Gonorrhea primarily affects those who are teenagers into the thirties is a sexually transmitted disease that is contracted by having unprotected sex withand who have multiple sex partners. Gonorrhea is not solely spread through unprotected vaginal intercourse. It can also be spread through anal or oral sex as well.  If you have unprotected sex in any fashion and your partner is a carrier of gonorrhea, you will also be infected. If a pregnant woman has gonorrhea and has not been treated at the time of her birth, she can pass the disease to her child as it passes through the vaginal canal.

Symptoms men will experience if they have gonorrhea will be a discharge from the penis that will be a yellowish white color and possibly burning from the penis. Women may have the same symptoms. If you have a gonorrhea infection in the throat or rectum, you will have little no symptoms. Remember that if you had this infection before, you are not immune from getting it again.

Gonorrhea can be treated with antibiotics and is curable. As with most all diseases eventually, a strain of gonorrhea will all of a sudden become immune to the antibiotics and will not be treatable. If a person does not get treatment for gonorrhea, they will experience complications.

The only way to prevent the spread of gonorrhea is through the practice of safe sex. Consider limiting the amount of partners and always use a condom when having sex.  If you think you may have contracted gonorrhea through unprotected sex, or you know someone who has, make an appointment to see a medical professional. Also, it is important for you to contact all your previous and current sexual partners. This disease is serious and should not be taken lightly. If you think you can have unprotected sex and not contract a sexually transmitted disease, whether it is gonorrhea or any other disease, this would be a mistake. No matter what choice you make, always use precaution. It is never wise to let someone talk you into sex without using a condom.
