T10-O-25 Clarifications about some theories in sexology and about a correct sexual terminology

Abstract

Female sexual anatomy is neglected by sexologists who divulged some notions on the female sexual physiology despite not having any scientific bases. The vaginal orgasm described by some women is caused by the erectile structures that surround the vagina. The vaginal orgasm is a theory. Grafenberg in 1950 described the role of the whole urethra in female orgasm. Every sexologist should read Grafenberg's original article and understand that the hypothetical area named G-spot should not be defined with Grafenberg's name. Grafenberg not report a G-spot, whose existence is currently an hypothesis. By now no scientist demonstrated some vagus nerve's terminations in the vagina and in the cervix uteri so that the genitosensory component of the vagus nerve is a theory too. The whole erectile tissue of the vulva corresponds to the male penis: clitoris is the homologous only of a part of the male penis. The terms bulbs of the clitoris, clitoral urethra, clitoral vagina, from an embryological and anatomical point of view are not correct. Textbooks of anatomy report the terms of pubovaginalis (responsible of the superior vaginismus) and puborectalis muscles instead of pubococcygeus muscle (pubovisceral muscle). The term periurethral glands should not be used as the correct term is vaginal vestibule. The Halban's fascia is a layer of dense connective present in the bladder-vaginal septum and doesn’t correspond to the male corpus spongiosum. It is important that sexologists divulge to people scientific notions and that they use a correct scientific terminology when they describe the sexual anatomy.
