Where do you find that fabled G-spot? What is mount venus? And where is the clitoris actually located? The guide here is for you who want to get a little better at finding your way - either in your own abdomen or between the legs of your sex partner. Because what's up and down, forwards and backwards - don't worry: We'll show you the way.
Guide to the woman's abdomen
The female abdomen consists of both external and internal genitalia. The outer ones are, for example, the labia, the clitoris and the genital opening: the entrance to the vagina. The internal genitalia include the vagina, ovaries, fallopian tubes and uterus. When you have sex, it is primarily the external genitalia that you need to know where to sit and how to stimulate.
If you are a woman yourself, we suggest that you read through this guide with a mirror in hand - have you ever looked at yourself between your legs? Trust us: you'll find your way around much better once you've looked at yourself in a mirror.

The female genitalia - a complete guide:
Where is the pubic bone?
The pubic bone - or pubic bone as we prefer to call it (there's no shame associated with it) - is the hard bone you can feel just above your own or your partner's labia, where the pubic hair ends. You can't feel it, but the pubic bone has a joint in the middle that becomes softer when the woman is pregnant. In this way, the pelvis can give way during childbirth.
Where is Mount Venus?
The mountain of Venus is just like on the outside of the pubic bone. It is the soft cushion of fat; the small elevation located where the upper part of the labia meet.
What are labia?
The woman has two sets of labia: the outer labia and the inner labia. The outer labia are the two folds of skin that cover the woman's clitoris, vagina and urethra. If you look at a naked female body, the labia meet in front of the woman's abdomen.
Again, here at Club Venus we prefer to use the word "gender" instead of "shame" - there is nothing to be ashamed of about the female abdomen. So let's call them labia - is that ok with you? Good then! It's ice cream!
The outer labia are the two folds of skin that cover the woman's clitoris, vagina and urethra. If you look at a naked female body, the labia meet in front of the woman's abdomen. When the woman reaches puberty, pubic hair grows on the outer labia.
The inner labia are similar to the outer labia, but smaller. They sit just inside the outer lips. They can be different in size and colour, and the inner labia can also stick out slightly from the outer ones. It is completely normal.
Where is the clitoris?
The clitoris is important to know when you want to stimulate yourself or your partner. The clitoris is a small bump that sits at the top where the labia meet. It is approx. about the size of a pea - sometimes larger - and it has a little cap of skin over it.
The clitoris is much larger than the part you can see and touch. The clitoris extends 09-12 cm into the body and divides to both sides of the abdomen. 8,000 nerve endings meet in the clitoris, so there is nothing to say that you or your partner can achieve both lovely and intense orgasms by being stimulated exactly here - whether with a finger or a vibrator.
Where is the female urethra located?
Below the clitoris, just inside the labia minora, is the opening to the urethra. During sex, the urethral opening is exposed to a lot of friction and comes into close contact with fingers and the partner's genitals. Therefore, it is always a good idea to urinate after sex to avoid a bacterial infection that can cause cystitis.
Where is the vagina located?
The vaginal opening sits between the labia minora, just below the urethra and above the anus. Inside the opening you will find the sheath. It can be easy to gently insert a finger if the woman is wet or slightly damp. If you are dry, it can be more difficult to penetrate the vagina and it can feel uncomfortable.
The vagina gets wetter the more turned on the woman is, but some women may also have difficulty getting wet. Here you can instead use a lubricant or try some of our 6 tips if you can't get wet.
How deep is the vagina?
The sheath is 8-12 cm long and extends into the woman's abdomen. It goes from the vaginal opening up to the uterus - you may even be able to feel the cervix with a finger at the end of the vagina. The walls of the vagina are made up of muscles that can contract during an orgasm.
Where is the g-spot?
The G-spot sits in the vagina approx. 4-5 cm up. It is located on the vaginal wall against the pubic bone. The point feels like a small smooth pad and its size can be different from woman to woman. There is disagreement about whether the G-spot actually exists.
Regardless of whether the small, sensitive spot is a myth or not, there are women who report that they are extra sensitive right here. Some people get intense orgasms by being stimulated on the G-spot while having sex. And if it doesn't apply to you or your sex partner, you shouldn't feel wrong or disappointed. There are so many other lovely places that can be stimulated!
If you want to hunt for the G-spot, you can get help from one of our G-spot vibrators, such as this beautiful glass dildo or this Satisfyer pro g-spot rabbit vibrator!
What is the pelvic floor?
The pelvic floor is the group of muscles that extend from the tailbone to the pubic bone. It is the pelvic floor that supports the woman's genitals and ensures, for example, that the opening to the urethra closes when you have finished urinating.
A strong pelvic floor is important - both to be able to keep pee, air and whatever else comes from those body regions inside, and to have a good sex life. A strong pelvic floor can, among other things, give stronger orgasms. You can train it by doing pinch exercises or using one of our yoni eggs!
Where are the woman's erogenous zones?
The female body has several erogenous zones, and they are not only in the abdomen. Therefore, it is also a good idea to caress other places than just the clitoris during sex. An erogenous zone is where you get turned on by being touched - and it can be very different from body to body.
The woman's erogenous zones include:
- The breasts and nipples
- Clitoris
- The balls
- The genitals
- The neck and neck
- Anus
- Inner thighs
- The earlobes
