I’m a ‘vaginacologist’ and the most important female sex organ is NOT what you think – my patients are always shocked 0 190

A WOMEN’S health expert has revealed the most important female sex organ – and it’s not what you think.

Dr Teresa Irwin, from the US, nicknamed herself the “vaginacologist” due to her expertise in women’s pelvic dysfunctions and surgery.

And she knows more than the next person about female anatomy, sharing her knowledge with her 90,400 followers on TikTok (@dr.teresa.irwin).

It’s often joked that “men are like ovens and women are like microwaves” when it comes to being turned on.

Dr Irwin reveals there is a reason behind that saying – for the most important sexual organ is not a woman’s vagina, but her brain.

In a series of videos, Dr Irwin explains that the brain is most responsible for our level of arousal, along with six other “spots”.

SHOCK FIND

She says the brain is subject to a handful of factors which can completely change the mood.

Dr Irwin says: “If there is anything that is bothering her, such as stress, fatigue, interruptions – like children, body image, or simply being mad at their significant other, then their ability to become aroused is significantly decreased.”

Essentially, to get a woman in the mood, it’s key to stimulate her mind and help her relax.

A woman’s sex drive may be far more easily upset by what’s on her mind, experts say.

In other posts, Dr Irwin can seen be with her trusty whiteboard and pen as she draws out each “sex organ” on the female body that are involved in the arousal process.

And she says these can be used to advantage to “draw out pleasure”.

She explains the purposes of the vestibular glands, the skene glands, perineal sponge, vestibular bulbs, urethral sponge and clitoris.

Some viewers had no idea these existed before.

One viewer said: “You are having way too much fun with this – I’m glad you are my Dr.”

While one confused shocked viewer added: “How did I not know about this?”

Another joked: “Men loving this doctor.”

“I don’t understand,” wrote another baffled user.

The six organs

Vestibular glands

These glands, Dr Irwin said, are what make a woman lubricated.

They are situated past the vagina opening either side. You can’t see them, they are under the skin.

Skene glands

These glands are the so-called “female prostate”, Dr Irwin said, because they release fluids into the urethra.

They sit either side of the urethra. 

The glands produce antimicrobial fluids which helps to prevent UTIs.

However, sexually, the glands become swollen like the clitoris and produce lubrication.

Researchers believe that fluid excretions from these glands may account for female ejaculation (squirting), according to Healthline.

Perineal sponge

Between the vagina and anus is the perineal area.

It’s made of spongy erectile tissue, meaning when filled with blood during arousal, it can give the vagina a “squeeze”, Dr Irwin said.

She added: “So if you’re looking to be pleased, the PS spot will bring you to your knees.”

Vestibular bulbs

Dr Irwin recommended targeting the vestibular bulbs if you want to turn a woman on.

This is a type of erectile tissue closely related to the clitoris, sitting either side of the vagina (inside).

It “inflates” when something is inserted into the vagina.

Urethral sponge 

The urethral sponge is the so-called G-spot, which Dr Irwin calls “

It is located between the pubic bone and the vaginal wall, surrounding the urethra.

During sexual pleasure, it “will partner with the skene glands to perform female ejaculation”.

Porn and Mental Health: The Challenges and Strategies for Coping in the Industry 0 178

Pornography is a billion-dollar industry that has gained widespread popularity across the globe. However, while it may be a source of entertainment for some, the industry can be challenging for performers’ mental health. The pressure to perform and meet the expectations of producers and viewers can take a toll on performers’ mental wellbeing. In this article, we’ll explore the challenges that the porn industry poses to mental health and strategies for coping with them.

The Challenges

  1. Stigma and Shame

The porn industry is still stigmatized, and performers can face a lot of shame and judgment from society. This can lead to a lot of stress and anxiety, making it difficult for performers to seek help and support when needed.

  1. Pressure to Perform

Performers in the porn industry are expected to meet certain expectations and perform at their best every time. This pressure can be overwhelming and can lead to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem.

  1. Isolation and Loneliness

Performing in the porn industry can be a lonely experience, with performers spending long hours on set or on their own, away from friends and family. This can lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness, which can take a toll on mental health.

  1. Trauma and Abuse

The porn industry is not immune to issues such as sexual harassment, assault, and exploitation. Performers may experience these traumatic events, leading to conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression.

Strategies for Coping

Seek Professional Help

Performers in the porn industry should seek professional help and support when they need it. There are many therapists and counselors who specialize in working with performers in the industry and can help with issues such as anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Practice Self-Care

Self-care is crucial for performers in the porn industry. Taking breaks when needed, exercising, and practicing mindfulness and meditation can help performers manage stress and promote mental wellbeing.

Surround Yourself with Supportive People

Having a supportive network of friends, family, and colleagues can make a big difference in performers’ mental health. Surrounding yourself with people who understand the challenges of the industry and offer non-judgmental support can help performers cope with the stresses of the job.

Address Trauma and Abuse

Performers who have experienced trauma and abuse in the industry should seek support and address these issues head-on. This may involve therapy, reporting incidents to the authorities, and taking legal action if necessary.

Conclusion

The porn industry poses significant challenges to performers’ mental health, from stigma and shame to pressure to perform and trauma and abuse. However, with the right strategies, performers can cope with these challenges and maintain good mental wellbeing. Seeking professional help, practicing self-care, surrounding yourself with supportive people, and addressing trauma and abuse are just a few strategies that can help performers in the porn industry maintain good mental health.

Navigating Consent and Boundaries in the Porn Industry: A Guide for Newcomers 0 165

Consent and boundaries are crucial aspects of the porn industry, and it’s essential for newcomers to understand how to navigate these issues. In this article, we’ll provide a guide for those who are new to the industry on how to approach consent and boundaries in a professional and respectful manner.

First and foremost, it’s important to understand that consent is always required in the porn industry. This means that every actor must give explicit and enthusiastic consent to any sexual act that is portrayed on camera. Consent can be given verbally or non-verbally, but it must always be clear and enthusiastic.

In order to ensure that consent is obtained, communication is key. Actors should have open and honest conversations with their scene partners and the director prior to filming. They should discuss what they are comfortable with and what their boundaries are, as well as any specific instructions or concerns.

It’s also important for actors to feel empowered to set their own boundaries and to speak up if they feel uncomfortable or unsafe during filming. This means that if an actor does not want to perform a particular act or if they feel that their boundaries are being pushed, they have the right to stop the scene and speak to the director about their concerns.

It’s also essential for actors to be aware of their own physical and emotional limits. This means that they should take breaks as needed, communicate with their scene partner and director about any discomfort or pain, and engage in self-care practices to ensure that they are physically and emotionally prepared for the demands of the job.

Finally, it’s important for actors to have a support system in place. This can include talking to other actors who have experience in the industry, seeking out counseling or therapy, and having trusted friends and family members who can provide emotional support.

Navigating consent and boundaries in the porn industry can be challenging, but it’s an essential part of maintaining a safe and respectful work environment. By following these guidelines, newcomers to the industry can ensure that they are approaching these issues in a professional and responsible manner.
