External Anal Sphincter

The ischiocavernosus is a muscle in your pelvic area. It wraps around the base of the clitoris and helps with clitoral engorgement (or growth) during arousal, adding to sensitivity and pleasure. It’s definitely an unsung hero of your sexual anatomy!

The transverse perineal muscles are part of your pelvic floor and stretch between your vulva and anus. They provide support to your pelvic organs and help with stability during movement. They even play a role in maintaining the shape and function of your vulva and vagina!

The perineal body is a small but important structure in the pelvic floor. It can be found between the vaginal opening and the anus. It’s like a central hub where several pelvic muscles connect, providing support for your organs and helping with stability during everyday activities.

AKA Bulbospongiousus Muscle

The bulbocavernosus is a muscle in your pelvic floor that surrounds the vaginal opening and clitoral hood. It plays a key role in sexual pleasure, contracting to compress the clitoris during arousal! It also supports urinary and pelvic health, making it a multitasking muscle you can thank for providing you with pleasure and support.
