The neural substrate and physiology of female orgasm, including the role of somatic and autonomic pelvic nerves.
Clitoral sensation is carried predominantly by somatic fibers—the dorsal nerve of the clitoris, a branch of the pudendal nerve—giving concentrated, high-density tactile input to the spinal cord and se...
Three peripheral pathways carry genital sensation to the central nervous system: the pudendal nerve, pelvic (pelvic splanchnic/cavernous) nerves, and—less intuitively—the vagus nerve; each pathway dif...
The neural substrate of female orgasm is a meshwork of somatic and autonomic pelvic nerves — chiefly the pudendal nerve (S2–S4), pelvic splanchnic (parasympathetic) nerves, hypogastric (sympathetic) n...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound studies consistently show the clitoris is a multilayered internal-external complex — glans, body, crura, bulbs and root — that lies ventral and lateral ...
Anal or rectal dilation can interact with — and in certain contexts injure — a network of autonomic, somatic and enteric nerves that govern anal sensation, sphincter control and reflexes; the main ner...
