Everything You Need to Know About the U-Spot
Given all the info online about the G-zone, A-spot, and P-spot, you’d be forgiven for assuming all the pleasure zones get decent publicity.
There’s one pleasure zone that’s been totally overlooked: the U-spot. And that’s why we’re giving it attention here. Scroll down for the U-spot need-to-know.
What is it?
The “U” in “U-spot” stands for urethra. Yeppp, urethra, as in the place that pee comes out.
This itty bitty opening, as well as the sheath of erectile tissue around it, is dense with nerves, says Sarah Melancon, PhD, a clinical sexologist with Sex Toy Collective, an online pleasure-product review site.
“These nerves also [supply nerves to] other areas of the genitalia and are involved in sexual pleasure,” Melancon adds.
For some people, stimulating some or all of those urethral nerves can feel good.
Who has it?
Anyone who can urinate has a urethra. That means that, technically, anyone who has a urethra has a U-spot.
However, when people talk about the U-spot, they’re typically talking about people with vaginas.
When the urethral opening is stimulated in people with penises, it’s usually referred to as urethral stimulation or urethral sounding.
How do you find it?
For those with vaginas,
the urethral opening is located on the vulva between the clitoris and the vaginal opening,” explains Heather Jeffcoat, a doctor of physical therapy specializing in sexual dysfunction and incontinence and the author of “Sex Without Pain: A Self-Treatment Guide to the Sex Life You Deserve.”
The urethra and the vagina are two completely separate anatomical areas,” she says.
Depending on the shape of your vulva and vagina, you might have to spread your inner or outer labia to learn everything you need to know about the U-Spot.
Using a hand-mirror to look at your bits can help. Jeffcoat recommends lying on your back with a mirror between your legs.
Starting with your clitoris, from top to bottom or front to back, travel in a line straight down,” she says. “The first hole you’ll see is the urethra.”
(The second hole you’ll see is the vaginal opening, and the third hole you’ll see is the anus.)
