Clinical Anatomy 2013; 26(1):134-52. Free Review Article with 21 figures and 1 video. This review, with 21 figures and 1 video, aims to clarify some important aspects of the anatomy and physiology of the female erectile organs (triggers of or**sm), which are important for the prevention of female sexual dysfunction. The cl****is is the homologue of the male's g***s and corpora cavernosa, and er****on is reached in three phases: latent, turgid, and rigid. The vestibular bulbs cause “vaginal” or**smic contractions, through the rhythmic contraction of the bulbocavernosus muscles. Because of the engorgement with blood during sexual arousal, the l***a minora become turgid, doubling or tripling in thickness. The corpus spongiosum of the female urethra becomes congested during sexual arousal; therefore, male er****on equals er****on of the female erectile organs. The correct anatomical term to describe the erectile tissues responsible for female or**sm is the female p***s. Vaginal or**sm and the G-**ot do not exist. These claims are found in numerous articles that have been written by Addiego F, Whipple B, Jannini E, Buisson O, O'Connell H, Brody S, Ostrzenski A, and others, have no scientific basis. Or**sm is an intense sensation of pleasure achieved by stimulation of erogenous zones. Women do not have a refractory period after each or**sm and can, therefore, experience multiple or**sms. Cl****al sexual response and the female or**sm are not affected by aging. Sexologists should define having sex/love making when or**sm occurs for both partners with or without vaginal in*******se.
