When something turns a man on, he gets an erection. But what happens in women? When you have sex, the vagina…

A woman’s body is a mystery to many men. That’s not good. Even worse, many women don’t even know how their genitals function. A joint study by Women’s Health and the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) showed how informed women are about intimate matters. The sad answer: the level of awareness is quite low.

Unfortunately, there are obvious gaps in women’s knowledge, especially in the area of female sexuality. That said, ladies would like men to be experts on anatomy and sex. And since there’s nothing wrong with knowing what goes on in your body during sex, we’ve put together the following information for you.

What happens when you first get aroused?

The reasons for arousal may differ from men’s, but the first reaction is similar: the moment your brain registers a stimulus that it classifies as “sexual,” the blood vessels dilate and blood immediately flows to your abdomen.

The increased blood flow stimulates the production of vaginal secretion, an oily fluid composed of proteins and amino acids, and it reaches your labia. Thousands of nerves that terminate in the extremely sensitive area of the vagina are instantly alarmed.

Can women ejaculate?

Women can indeed “cum. In about 10% of women, orgasm can cause a few drops of clear fluid to be ejected from the urethra.

What happens to the vagina after sex?
