While many have heard of the G-spot, few are aware of the P-spot, which is apparently able to produce the same exciting effect, but is extremely elusive. Both erotic areas are discussed in a 16th-century Sanskrit text called Ananga Ranga (Colours Of Eroticism), which has been translated by Dr Shashank Samak, a sexologist from India. It was he who labelled the small pleasure spot, called the "Poornachandra Nadi" in Sanskrit, the "P-spot". Dr Shashank, who is unable to attend the three-day 7th Asian Sexology Congress which opened last night, will have his paper on the relatively-new erotic area presented by Associate Professor Ganesan Adaikan, the Asian Federation of Sexology's president-elect. The National University of Singapore head of the reproductive pharmacology/sexual medicine section told The Straits Times that the P-spot is located just beside the G one, and that both are on the inner upper walls of the vagina, about 3 cms from the opening. Both spots can be best accessed if the woman is on top when having sex, rather than the traditional missionary position. The paper he is delivering is one of more than 130 that will be delivered at the congress, by experts from Asia, Europe and the US. More than 400 delegates from around the world are here to listen to speakers such as reknowned author, Professor Emeritus Beverly Whipple of Rutgers University in the US. Dr Whipple, a leading sexologist, called for more research on female sexuality. So far, she noted, most drug research has focused on male sexual problems. But the treatments and drugs used to treat those cannot be used for females with similar problems, as women are simply more complex, she added. The congress, which aims to raise awareness of human sexuality and its problems, was opened by Minister of State (Health and Environment) Balaji Sadasivan yesterday evening. In his speech, he said that sex and sexual behaviour have an impact on pressing issues, such as family planning and patients with the Humam Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). He said: 'The number of new HIV-infected patients in 1996 was 139. 'Last year, it was 237, an increase of about 70 per cent over five years. 'The majority of new cases were single males between the ages of 30 and 50. 'If we understood the sexual behaviour of this group, we can better target our education efforts and prevent the spread of Aids.' In his speech at the congress' opening, Professor Emil Man-Lun Ng, who is the founder of the Asian Federation for Sexology, pointed out that sexual problems can have high economic costs. 'If you are sexually not fulfilled, your quality of life will decrease, and this could lead to family violence and divorce, which leads to a dip in the resources of the country,' said the psychiatry professor from the University of Hongkong. 'When the economy is down, sexual activity is lower as people get depressed and have less sex,' he added. [Link] |
