Abstract
Vaginal sensitivity was investigated in a group of 60 volunteers by means of an electric stimulus and under nonerotic conditions. In comparison to the dorsum of the hand, the genital area has a low sensitivity for electric stimuli (p <0.001). Of the genital area, the vaginal wall measured 2 to 4 cm from the vaginal introitus was found to be very insensitive (p <0.05). Within the vaginal wall a relatively sensitive position to electric stimuli could be detected at the “12-hr position” (the anterior vaginal wall) (p <0.001). The study provides data underscoring previous anatomical and clinical research findings regarding the sensitivity of the anterior vaginal wall. The inefficiency of coitus for inducing female orgasm is discussed.
