Abstract
The female orgasm is a controversial entity, in terms of its origin, forms and even its mere existence. The concept that all orgasms are clitorally mediated is well-known but understudied, and the existence of vaginally-activated orgasm (VAO) as a distinct phenomenon remains to be proven. Some sexologists, including Emmanuele Jannini from L'Aquila University, Italy, believe that the sensory arm of the female orgasm is mediated by the clitorourethrovaginal (CUV) complex. In a recently published study, Jannini and Buisson used echography—a noninvasive ultrasonographical technique—to image the CUV complex during clitoral orgasm and VAO. Three women, all of whom reported VAO during coitus, were included in the study. Echographic imaging was carried out during both manual stimulation of the external clitoral glans and internal stimulation using a wet tampon.
