Clitoris: Usually obviously visible right above the vaginal opening, like a little pink button. It's the most sensitive part outside the vagina and is often a good place to start when initiating sees after foreplay. Gently stimulating it can help the vagina lubricate (get "wet") and tent (lengthen to its aroused state to accommodate penetration). It's also the part to focus on during cunnilingus (eating pussy).
G-spot: About an inch or two into the vagina on the anterior (front or upper) wall on the same side as the clitoris. Feel around with your finger until you feel a spot that's more porous ("spongy") than the rest. Stimulating this spot is the easiest way to cause female ejaculation or squirting. It's the part that the thickest part of the base of the penis stimulates during traditional PIV sex.
A-spot: Lesser known than the first two. It's the deepest point in the anterior fornix, which is the pocket in front of the cervix, or on top of it if the vagina-owner is lying on their back. During front-entry PIV sex, it's the spot that the tip of the penis hits. Unlike the clitoris and G-spot, it needs a little more pressure to properly stimulate, so the ideal way to do it is with a phallic object concentrating the force into the tip. Just be careful not to hit the cervix as that can cause discomfort or pain.
P-spot: The deepest point of the posterior fornix. Same rules as the A-spot, except that it's behind the cervix, or below it if the person is lying on their back. It's hit by the tip of the penis during rear-entry PIV sex.

Lol I thought this was a shitpost. Too many spots.

Poke around in there and explore and it won't feel like that lol.

Not all the things pointed out on the diagram are erogenous zones, just anatomy. The clitoris, G, A, and P-spots are real erogenous zones though.
Edit: The PS-spot is also an erogenous zone, I only recently researched that.

Foreplay is kind of a misnomer ioo. Everything is sex and it shouldn't be a given that PIV is necessarily the goal, nor FIV or anything else. Discuss what is wanted before-hand and check in occasionally.

What I define as foreplay is sexually charged contact that doesn't involve touching of genitals, so as soon as contact is made on a genital I consider it sex. Different people might have different definitions and often there's a Venn diagram between and foreplay. But I consider outercourse sex.

Ah, we disagree since many people say sex starts in the mind. We've had experiences that are not physical, or even some that are but don't involve genitals, yet we'd still consider sex and it seems some of those we have participated in it with agree to varying degrees.
We're saying this to nudge people to consider that maybe not everything they thought was sex was actually sex, and not everything they thought wasn't sex, was in fact sex to at least one participant.
As you correctly point out, people are going to have varying definitions and feelings around it. We think therefore, using less rigid language or accounting for other viewpoints is useful.
Either way, thank you for opening this community.
Would it be alright to DM you to check if a post we'd like to post is okay for here?

Sure!

Damn.
Very good breakdown, I didn't realize that the anterior and posterior fornixes were distinct erogenous zones, but... its kinda like facepalmingly obvious if you think about it for like 5 seconds.
That would explain at least the experiences I've hsd with different women where they'd tell that, well basically, hitting different spots, or combinations of spots, due to different angles or uh 'poses' results in a qualitatively different kind of orgasm, that is... different in a way that I as a guy can't really comprehend, that the gals had trouble explaining themselves.
My 'working theory' has always been that basically, by way of some kind of complex genetics, some women are differently sensitive to different kinds of stimulation... if there are just actually more distinct erogenous zones, that fits, that makes sense.
It quite literally is different strokes for different folks, different gals have different preferences for different zones being stimulated, and its not like... a preference they outright choose per se, it could just be basically different relative densities of neurons in those different EZs.
So like a 'size queen' (sorry i dont know a term for that that is value neutral) might have more neuronal density in the fornixes, a gal that enjoys anal might have more neuronal density in the PS and PF zones, etc.
Presumably it could be even more complex and the sensitivites of areas could change depending on overall arousal level, other factors.
Does that make sense to you, or do I sound like a loon?
Also... a symphisis?
Never ever heard of it before. Did not know there was a cartilidge bridge there.
Shit.
Well thank you for the anatomy lesson.

Not enough people know about these anatomical shapes and the like.
