3 sex myths explained

A recent study found physical evidence of this elusive erogenous zone: women who were able to achieve vaginal orgasm had thicker-than-average tissue between the vagina and the urethra. Whether this area is a magic orgasm-inducing button for you depends on your sensitivity, says Dr Beverly Whipple, co-author of The Orgasm Answer Guide.

"Lie on your back and have your partner (or yourself) use one or two fingers to stimulate the upper front wall of your vagina with a 'come here' motion,” she says. Hit the right spot and within 10 seconds, you'll know it. During vaginal intercourse, try rear entry or woman on top – both put his penis in a position to hit the jackpot.
