Remember that old tampon advert where a girl's boyfriend finds what he thinks is a sweet in her bag, only to find it...isn't? But men really can be quite ignorant about the female body. The reverse is also true...
Hitting the spot
We don't learn about the male anatomy in school, and unfortunately men don't come with an instruction manual. Many women find that even after months together, their partner can't locate their clitoris, and we don't always know where his erogenous zones are either! And when you consider that only a minority of women are capable of reaching orgasm without clitoral stimulation, the stakes are pretty high.
Helping hands
And when it comes to the vagina, many young men struggle to find the right way in the first time they have sex. Many men ask how they find the 'hole' the first time, according to sexpert Catherine Solano. And their problems aren't over once they've found their point of entry: penetration isn't always as easy as it looks in films and many young men are surprised to find they need to open the vaginal walls with their fingers in order to get in.
