1. Sexual orgasm relieves pain. Next time your wife uses "I have a headache" as an excuse to avoid sex, you might as well tell her the truth. Studies have shown that sex is as effective as painkillers for treating headaches, and orgasm is a very good pain reliever. Some women have also found that orgasm can help relieve menstrual cramps.

2. Besides the G-spot, there is also the A-spot in the vagina. The G-spot is considered a key stimulation point for women to achieve orgasm. In fact, the A-spot is more likely to arouse women than the G-spot. The G-spot is located 2-3 cm inside the anterior wall of the vaginal opening, while the A-spot is located deeper. Both the G-spot and A-spot can be stimulated through masturbation (finger stimulation). It should be remembered that lubricant is best used when stimulating the A-spot or G-spot, and the woman should be fully aroused; otherwise, it may lead to pain or discomfort during intercourse.

3. Vaginal odor is affected by diet. A healthy vagina has a slight odor, but it's not pungent or unpleasant. Fungal or bacterial infections can easily cause a pungent odor in the vagina. Many foods can also affect the odor of a woman's private parts. For example, eating too many sweet fruits like pineapple can make the private parts smell sweet. Eating too many vegetables like cabbage or asparagus can worsen vaginal odor.

4. Vaginal prolapse. When vaginal prolapse occurs, the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes also shift downwards from their normal positions. This often happens after a hysterectomy, but it can also occur spontaneously. In severe cases, internal organs may even prolapse outside the vaginal opening.

5. Vaginal length can double. The length of a woman's vagina varies from person to person. Some women have shallow and narrow vaginas, while others have deep and wide ones. The average vaginal length is 3-4 inches (approximately 7.6-10.2 cm) when sexually aroused. Once sexually stimulated, the vaginal length can increase, even doubling in length. Therefore, before sex, the man should ensure the woman is fully aroused to allow for deeper penetration and greater comfort for both partners.

6. Sexual activity can keep the vagina young. Like muscles in other parts of the body, the vagina needs use and exercise; if it's not used for a long time, it becomes fragile and easily damaged. If there is no sexual activity for a long period, especially during menopause and old age, the vaginal lining tissue will thin and gradually degenerate. Regular sexual activity helps keep women in their prime.

7. Vaginal secretions are the best lubricant. Scientists have discovered that a component of female vaginal secretions is the same as squalene, a component of shark liver. Squalene has extremely strong lubricating properties and leaves no greasy residue; therefore, vaginal secretions are the best lubricant for sex.

8. The vaginal muscles are very powerful. All women use their vaginal muscles (PC muscles) during sex. You might think that the PC muscles aren't very strong, but in fact, they are quite powerful. The current record holder for the strongest PC muscles is a Russian woman who can support 31 pounds (about 14 kilograms).
