Female and male reproductive organs perform reproductive functions and have the meaning of an erotic stimulus. The male internal organs are: testes, epididymis, vas deferens and seminal vesicles, glands (cystic, bulbous and tubular) and external: penis, scrotum, urethral meatus. Feminine internal sexual organs are: ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina and external, referred to as vulva, which consists of: pubic mound, larger and smaller labia, vaginal vestibule, hymen, Bartholin's gland, and clitoris.
Vaginal bubble
The end part of the vas deferens, forming an enlargement in the shape of a bulb, in which the excretion secrete the sperm to move.
Bust
Bust is an even organ, composed of glandular tissue, the surrounding fat body and covering the skin, conical or semi-circular shape, located between the 3rd and 7th ribs, axillary cavity and sternum.

Hymen (hymen)
The fold of the mucous membrane that surrounds the virgin and largely closes the entrance to the vagina. Due to the various shapes and structure of the membrane and its opening, it is distinguished: ring-shaped, crescent-shaped, jagged, flaky, fleshy, and sieve. In the case of sexual intercourse, it breaks, leaving permanent debris. Defloration usually manifests itself in slight bleeding. In 25% of women, there are no signs of discontinuation of hymen. After defloration, do not cohabit for the next 2-3 weeks.
Sexual features
In practice, both clinical and cognitive, it has been accepted to distinguish: primary sexual characteristics (gonadal sex) and secondary sexual characteristics (somatic gender) and tertiary sexual characteristics - just like secondary sex express somatic and sometimes combined with them.

Urethra
The cord that urines is drained from the bladder. In men, it is a common conduit for urine and sperm. The urethral outlet in women is located in the vaginal atrium, about 2 cm below the clitoris and has the appearance of a fissure; while in men the outlet of the coil is located at the top of the acorn.
Cavernous body
Creations built of sinus venous spaces. They are surrounded by a fibrous membrane. Blood is supplied to these spaces through the arteries and discharged through veins, provided with special clamps. The cavernous bodies cause closure of the vein conduction, which, when the blood flows, causes them to swell and fill with blood. The penis has two corpus cavernosum and one cavernous body (called spongy) of the urethra. In the woman there are two cavernous clitoris and two atrium pads. Filling them with blood in a man causes erection of a penis, in a woman's erection of a clitoris.
Yellow body
It is formed in the second half of the menstrual cycle from a broken Graafian follicle (it contains an egg cell). The gland secretes a hormone that is designed to prepare and maintain pregnancy; hence its name progesterone or pregnancy hormone. In the case of egg fertilization, the corpus luteum develops up to the second month of pregnancy, whereas in the absence of fertilization it disappears within a few days.
Clitoris (clitoris)
The organ located in the upper part of the vulva of the woman (above the labia), composed of two corpora cavernosa and acorn with foreskin. It's built like a male penis. In the sexual life of most women plays a very important role as a source of orgasm and great excitement.In many women, clitoral masturbation determines its basic importance in achieving orgasm. In order for a woman to achieve clitoral orgasm, her partner should apply the appropriate type of stimulation during sexual intercourse: orally, by hand or by a member's ache. In every woman there is a different need for strength, type and type of tactile stimuli.
Ovarian cycle
Changes that occur in the ovary during the menstrual cycle. From a very large number of primary vesicles (about 200,000), during the menstrual cycle, essentially one, very rarely two or more vesicles are matured; after their break the egg is excreted. Then it is intercepted by the so-called hypha - the mechanism of the fallopian tube and thus brought to the tube of the fallopian tube, where it divides and becomes a mature female gamete, able to be fertilized. If it does not occur, it dissolves.
The uterine cycle
Cyclic changes in the endometrium that occur during the menstrual cycle. There are three phases: the growth phase, the secretory phase, the exfoliation phase during which the bleeding occurs.
Menstrual cycle of a woman
The first menstruation (menstruation) appears in girls around 12 -14. age. It is proof of the girl's sexual maturity and ovum production of egg cells. Menstruation is a process in which an unfertilised egg cell is excreted with the expanded endometrium. From now on, gradually and also more and more regularly, the ovaries will produce approximately every 28 days, usually one ready to fertilize the cell.

Ovulation cycle
Cyclic changes occurring in the woman's body more or less once a month during ovulation (ie ovulation). This is the moment when the egg cell is ejected from the cusp of the Graafian follicle due to complex neurohormonal mechanisms. Most often, ovulation falls between the 10th and 15th day of the menstrual cycle.
During the ovulation process, various symptoms appear in the body: elevated body temperature, malleable and colorless vaginal mucus, sometimes breast pain, lower abdominal pain, changes in well-being, increased libido and other individual reactions.
A cycle of sexual reactions
According to different concepts, it includes two or four phases. First (excited phase), second (plateau phase); third (orgasm), fourth (relaxation phase). According to the second concept, the sexual reaction cycle includes two reflexes: vaso-congestive and muscular-systolic, expressed by orgasm.

A male member
Male genital organ built of two corpora cavernosa, located from the dorsal side and the body of the cavernous urethra called spongy. It is terminated by the enlargement of the glans, in which the urethral meatus is located (the so-called urethral-genital canal). Coated with pigmented, hairless skin, forming on the glans folds - foreskin. Filling the corpora cavernosa with blood and stopping its outflow causes erection of the penis, i.e. enlargement and lifting it upwards.
The slogans were prepared on the basis of: Zbigniew Lew-Starowicz. Love and sex. Encyclopedic dictionary. Wroclaw 1999

The length of the penis
The typical length of the penis is a length of 8.5-10.5 cm, a circumference of 6-10 cm. At the time of erection, the increment is on average 60% of the length, or about 12-18 cm.

Sexual dimorphism
Sexual dimorphism is inseparably connected with the human sex. This phenomenon in humans is reflected in morphological, physiological and mental diversity, both in women and in men. Sexual dimorphism is genetically conditioned by the diversity of sex chromosomes (heterochromosomes).

Ejaculate (sperm)
Liquid, whitish substance composed of epididymal secretions, seminal vesicles, prostate gland and bulbous-bulbous glands, escaping during ejaculation from the male urethra, in the amount of 3 to 5 ml.
endometrial
The endometrium lining its interior. This membrane changes during the menstrual cycle. During the bleeding, it peels off and then quickly regenerates, gradually growing and scarifying, creating a bed for the implantation of a fertilized egg.This happens under the influence of progesterone - a hormone secreted by the luteum. If fertilization does not occur, this process is repeated. There are two phases: exfoliation and renewal.
phallus
Phallus (from Latin) - an erection member.
Graafa bubble
With around 100,000 follicles containing oocytes, develops during puberty from 360 to 500 Graafa follicles. During one menstrual cycle only one of them matures. When the Graafa follicle is mature, it has a diameter of about 1 cm, it is filled with follicular fluid, it already contains an egg. Ovulation involves breaking and ejecting an egg.
Grafenberg space
One of the sensual centers of a woman; a place particularly sensitive to stimulation that allows you to experience orgasm. It is located in the vagina, more or less at the depth of two fingers below the entrance to the vagina, on its upper wall, close to the urethra. A woman can achieve an orgasm as a result of manual irritation of the area or in a position when the member strongly rubs the upper wall of the vagina. The description of the location of point G can be found in oriental textbooks of love art (eg Ananga Ranga).
Prostate gland
Prostate, prostate. It is a muscular-glandular organ of chestnut size. It is located at the junction of the urinary tract with the genital tract and includes the urethra. It releases a substance that accounts for 25% of sperm. It also produces hormonal substances, which after ejaculation in organs, release women from uterine contractions, while these relax the fallopian tubes. In men over 50 years of age, it sometimes grows due to hormonal changes. This causes problems when urinating. Requires treatment.
Bartholin's glands
These are the vestibular glands of the vagina greater. They are even, their diameter is 1.5 cm, they secrete mucus. They resemble men's bulbous-tubular glands.
Padular and urethral glands
Glands belonging to the internal male genitals; they have the size of pea grain, lie on the back end of the member's pad, at the bottom of the pelvis, are connected to the urethra. The bulbous and urethral glands produce a clear, viscous secretion that facilitates the movement of semen.
Sex glands
Organs built of glandular and connective tissue, producing specific substances, secreted outside or into the blood (glands), affecting the human sex life. Basic gonads are testicles and ovaries.

Adam's apple
Bone cartilage on the neck, appearing in adolescent boys.
Ovaries
Two organs of the size of a walnut, bright in color and firm consistency, sensitive to pressure. They lie in the small pelvis, the upper poles are directed to the fallopian tubes, and the lower ones to the uterus, loosely hung, held by ligaments. Oocytes develop in the ovarian cortex and sex hormones are produced.
More
fallopian tubes
They run from the ovary towards the uterus, each of them is about 16-20 cm long. The part that is near the ovary is expanded funnel (the so-called tube of the fallopian tube), hyphals hang from the edge of the funnel, which facilitate the movement of the ovarian cell from the ovary to the fallopian tube. The tube of the fallopian tube widens and passes into the tube of the fallopian tube. The part of the fallopian tube that enters the uterus is the narrowest. In the fallopian tube the ovum and sperm move in a winding maze, with the rhythmic shrinking of the muscle membrane, here also fertilization occurs. The oviduct is filled with serous and follicular fluid. In the first phase of the menstrual cycle, contractions of the uterus muscles run from the uterus to the ovary, and from the 18th day of the cycle vice versa - this mechanism is subordinated to procreation.
Kernel
The internal organ even. It plays a very important biological role: it produces sperm (reproductive function) and hormones that are involved in the regulation of hormonal sexual life and determine secondary sexual characteristics (sexual function). They are similar to the size of walnuts; are suspended loosely in the scrotum, the so-called sperm cord.

Uterus
Female genital organ, located in the small pelvis. It has the shape of a narrowing down pear. It consists of a bottom, shaft and neck in which there is an outlet to the vagina. During sexual maturity, the endometrium is subject to cyclical changes under the influence of ovarian hormones.
During pregnancy, the uterine mucosa changes, fetus egg fits into it.

Vaginal muscles and sexual stimulation
Vaginal shrinkage is of great importance for the sexual feelings of the partners. In the case of a woman, she increases her sensory sensitivity from the vaginal area during intercourse, while in the case of a man, she provides pleasant sensations and increases the member's erection. Some women have strong contractility, others have to develop it, because it was weak or decreased, for example as a result of childbirth. More
Scrotum
A skin bag that contains the testicles. The outer part of the scrotum is the skin, inside it is divided by a partition into two cavities. Its task - apart from testicular protection - is also to maintain their optimal warmth, which is usually lower than 2o to 4oC from the rest of the body. The scrotum therefore shrinks and expands, depending on the temperature, here
