Tia seems to always be talking about vaginas in her articles. But today, she'll discuss a very friendly friend of the vagina; the penis. He is also known as: dick, sausage, big fella, or salchicha grande (large hotdog in Spanish). He comes in lots of different shapes and sizes, and complements the vagina and/or anus very well. Since we’re always talking about his partner in crime, I figured I would introduce him to his usual owner—the men out there reading this. And in the meantime, the women reading this can also learn a little bit about what it means to have a third leg. This article isn't intended to be a complete guide. Just a small tutorial.

Penis length

Hold your breath guys and don’t shriek with excitement. Your penis is actually longer than you think. There you are, taking a second look. Unfortunately (for some), nothing has changed since before you started reading this article.

I can only give you some fun facts, not miracles. But really, your penis does not only consist of what you see on the exterior of your body. Half of the length of the penis starts inside of the body, under the pelvis. So the next time your buddy asks you about your penis—go ahead, say it’s 11 inches long.

Circumcision

Most men are uncircumcised. When males are born, they have a foreskin, almost like a pizza pocket sleeve that lies around the penis. In some cultures, it is normal to have this removed while the child is still an infant. There are benefits and consequences to this.

We don't condone either circumcision or lack of. In fact, circumcision rates have been decreasing, according to numerous media outlets.

For starters, by removing the foreskin, there is less chance of having unwanted bacteria hang out in the gentle area. However, removing the foreskin could also result in men experiencing less intense orgasms. There are a host of other problems associated with removing the foreskin. On the other side, supports of circumcision say its linked to lower rates of sexually transmitted diseases, though we can't vouch for those statistics. There are those who are for and against it, but it really comes down to cultural and religious traditions that determine the circumcision. Either way, learn to love what you have because there’s a lot to love.

Length vs. girth

Length and girth both hold their importance in pleasing women. As I mentioned before in a recent post, the G-Spot is located about two inches into the vagina on the front wall. That means, for some women, a long penis is not necessarily beneficial.

You don’t need much to reach that specific point. However, for many women, pleasure is not just about the depth reached with a penis, but how the penis fits and feels against her vaginal walls. Many women enjoy the feeling of a “full” vagina. That means a girthy penis, which tends to be thicker in circumference, can fill more of a vagina than a thinner penis. For some, the length and girth don’t matter as long as the male knows how to maneuver it to her liking or at least use his tongue or fingers as a replacement. So really, any penis has the potential of being fulfilling.

Male G-Spot

Some say the G-Spot of the male genitalia is the prostate. Now, many men love the feeling of having their anus fingered or eaten out. However, for those who have not tried or do not want to try anal stimulation, the penis has plenty of spots that provide great sensations and even better orgasms. To start off, the head of the penis tends to be the most sensitive. To clarify, the underside of the head is usually the most sensitive. However, this does not mean the testicles are not true pleasure zones. A little stroking of the penis and mouthing of the scrotum can easily allow a man to orgasm in less than five minutes. It really is the motion and the sensitivity of each person’s genitals. There’s a lot to play with so start playing!

Masturbation

There is no unreasonable amount of times you can masturbate. Will your penis get sore after the tenth time in one day? Probably. Will you stop producing sperm forever? Absolutely not. Depending on your sex drive, every man is different.

For some, three times in one day is absolutely normal. For others, they just don’t have enough time to work, sleep, and masturbate as much as they would like. For others, they have partners that take care of their basic human needs. And for the rest of us, there’s a combination of both. Practicing self-love is sometimes the best love of all—it is on your time and is catered to your needs. And at GetLusty, we’re all about being good to not only your partner, but to yourself.

So as a man, don’t value your penis only for its length and girth, but for its value. It helps the reproduction of the human race and allows for both men and women alike to feel a much-needed, fulfilling pleasure.

At GetLusty, we have to admit it; we love vagina. Vagina's come in all shapes, colors and sizes, so we aim to showcase all kinds of vagina's in our articles--not just the touched up one's. Now, last week we talked about loving the vagina—whether its your own or your partner’s.

In this article, we'd like to tell you a little bit about what makes a vagina happy and healthy and on great days, horny. GetLusty's Tia Shine reports.

First off, grab a hand mirror. I’m not going to ask you to touch it—just take a look at it. Don’t worry—we’re doing this together. Now, don’t go looking for the vagina—you’re not going to see it. What you are going to see is the vulva. Most women do not know that what we actually can see with the naked eye is called the vulva. The vagina is the actual canal that leads from the opening to the cervix.

Notice your curves

First thing you should notice—there is a layer of fat where pubic hair grows. That’s called the mons pubis. It is there to protect the vaginal bone and heighten sexual arousal as part of the clitoral complex. It connects to the labia majora, the outer lips of the vagina, which are also used as boundaries to protect the vulva. Within the labia majora, we have the labia minora, which are strongly connected to clitoris. 

Find your clitoris

Like I mentioned in my previous article, Ode to the Vagina, seventy percent of women experience orgasms from the clitoris. Just a suggestion—learn to love your clitoris. With 8000 nerve endings, it is there solely for pleasure and can provide you with sexual euphoria, time and time again. Confused where all of this is? Look at this picture and remember—starting from the mons pubis, you have your urethra, the vaginal opening, and then the anus. This seems elementary, but “which lucky hole is it?” is a question many women ask themselves when putting in their first tampon.

More on the vagina

The vagina. It has a few functions—it is used for birthing, sexual pleasure, and the release of blood during menstruation. It can get longer and wider depending on the time of the month, the penis of the moment, or the birth of the year.

A word on the G-spot

Inside the vagina, there lives the oh-so popular, yet controversial part: the G-spot. The Gräfenberg spot was discovered in 1981 and is considered to give women longer and more intense orgasms than the clitoris. It is known to be two to three inches inside the vagina against the front wall. If you’re interested in finding it, go for it!

Slip one or two fingers and put pressure in the direction of your stomach and you should feel a small, bean-shaped organ. If you do not want to do it yourself, you can use a vibrator or even your partner. Go ahead—your vagina is ready when you are. With that said, below are a few ways to make sure your vagina is feeling good all year long.

Bonus! Tips for the success of your vulva & vagina

1) Notice your vaginal discharge. It is the mucus your vagina releases as a way to clean and protect the vagina from bacteria.

Every woman differs in the amount, but for the most part, it is a clear mucus that is released from the vagina during all moments of the day and can vary depending on the woman’s cycle. It also tends to increase during your sexy-time with your partner and even when you have a few dirty thoughts during work. It is an expression used by the vagina to let us know how horny and how healthy we actually are.

2) Get to know your smell. Every woman has a distinct smell that comes from between her legs. If it smells a little different or more potent than usual, think about the last time you showered. Also, remember that the vagina may smell differently when you are ovulating, menstruating, or sexually aroused. If uncertain, talk to your gynecologist.

3) Don't douche. You do not need to douche your vagina. It is unnecessary and could actually cause infections and unhealthy bacteria in the vagina. Just wash thoroughly while you’re in the shower and that should be enough.

4) When you are sexually aroused, do not be alarmed of your labia minora and majora appear swollen and/or red. You more than likely do not have an allergic reaction to your lube or are blushing with your lady parts—you’re just super turned on.

5) Some people say you should wear 100% cotton panties while you sleep, but I say let your vagina take a breather. It’s usually the only chance she gets to get some much-needed fresh air.

6) Treat her well. Wear silky underwear if that makes you feel sexy. Give her a little love in the morning when you wake up or before you go to sleep—or both. Surprise her with a midnight porn session.

From this article, you can tell the last thing the vagina is is easy—she’s intricate and purposeful. So keep her happy, healthy, and horny.
