Female Sexual Anatomy - External

The external female sex organs include two folds of flesh, one inside the other called the Labia Majora and the Labia Minora (the major lip and the minor lip). Inside the labia minora on the top is the glans clitoris which is protected by the clitoral hood. The glans clitoris is an organ with many nerve endings that can be a source of sexual pleasure. The glans is only the outside of the clitoris which extends back into the body underlying the labia and continuing along the roof of the vaginal wall.

The urethral opening connects to the bladder and urine comes out of it.

The vaginal opening is where the penis goes during sexual intercourse. It connects to the womb, oviducts, and ovaries where children are conceived.

The anus is the opening of the large intestine and food waste comes out of it.

The female differs from the male in that females have three openings while males have only two (an anus and the urethra which carries both sperm and urine)
