Sexual dialects, codes, terms and acronyms are sets of linguistic phrases used to refer to sexual activities, practices and sex organs; they are mostly slangs and formal and informal medical words. Understanding and application of some of these words will be to couples’ sexual advantages, and they can be applied subtly. The fact that many of these words are used as medical terms makes it become a form of education for couples who get familiar with them.
Let’s look at a few of such words. The areola is the dark ring of skin surrounding the nipple. The mons veneris is a mound of flesh located above the vagina. Vulva is a collective term that refers to a woman’s external genitalia. The labia is the external folds of flesh of the vulva. The labia majora is the thicker, outside labia layer of the vagina, while the labia minora is the inner labia. The hymen is the tissue that partly or completely covers the vaginal opening. The foreskin skin is a covering that protects the head of the penis of an uncircumcised man.
The clitoris is the most sensitive external female sex organ, otherwise called the penis of the female because it is full of nerves.
Circumcision is the surgical procedure of removing the foreskin of the penis. Female genital mutilation of the clitoris is the surgical removal of the clitoris or part of it. A blue ball is the inflammation of the epididymis.
Sexual activity is the manner in which humans experience and express their sexuality. Sexual activity normally results in arousal and physiological changes in the aroused person, some of which are pronounced while others are more subtle. Sexual activity may also include conducts and activities that are intended to arouse the sexual interest of another, such as strategies to find or attract partners. It could also mean personal interactions between individuals, such as foreplay. Sexual activity may follow an arousal.
Sexual activity can be consensual or take place under force or duress contrary to social norms or generally accepted sexual conducts.
The physiological responses during sexual stimulation are fairly similar for both men and women and there are four phases.
There is the excitement phase, during which muscle tension and blood flow increase in and around the heart and sexual organs. There is also increase in respiration and blood pressure. Both men and women experience a “sex flush” on the skin of the upper body and face. Typically, a woman’s vagina becomes lubricated and her clitoris becomes swollen.
Another stage is the plateau phase, during which heart rate and muscle tension increase further. A man’s urinary bladder closes to prevent urine from mixing with semen. A woman’s clitoris may withdraw slightly and there is more lubrication, outer swelling, tightened muscles and diameter reduction.
During the orgasm phase, breathing becomes extremely rapid and the pelvic muscles begin a series of rhythmic contractions. Both men and women experience quick cycles of muscle contraction of lower pelvic muscles and women often experience uterine and vaginal contractions; this experience can be described as intensely pleasurable. However, roughly 15 per cent of women have never experienced orgasm, while half of them report that they have faked it. A large genetic component is associated with how often women experience orgasm.
During the resolution phase, muscles relax, blood pressure drops, and the body returns to its resting state. Alhough, it is generally reported that women do not experience a refractory period and thus can experience an additional orgasm, or multiple orgasms soon after the first one. Some sources state that both men and women experience a refractory period because women may also experience a state after orgasm in which further sexual stimulation does not produce excitement. This period may last from minutes to days and is typically longer for men than women.
Sexual dysfunction is the inability to react emotionally or physically to sexual stimulation in a way projected of the average healthy person. It can affect different stages in the sexual response cycle, which are desire, excitement and orgasm. In the media, sexual dysfunction is often associated with men, but in actuality, it is more commonly observed in females (43 per cent) than males (31 per cent).
Most people engage in sexual activity because of the pleasure they derive from being aroused, especially if they can achieve orgasm.
Orgasm is the muscular contractions involved during sexual activity, along with the characteristic patterns of change in heart rate, blood pressure, and often respiration rate and depth. That is why hypertensive patients are carefully advised on how to go about their sexual activities because each orgasm leads to increased blood pressure.
Sexual arousal, also known as sexual excitement, is the awakening of sexual desire, during or in anticipation of a sexual activity. A number of physiological responses occur in the body and the mind in the buildup to sex and continue during it. Genital responses are not the only changes, but they are very noticeable and also necessary for consensual and comfortable intercourse. Male arousal will lead to an erection and in female arousal, there is vaginal lubrication and sexual tissues such as nipples, vulva, clitoris and vaginal walls are engorged. Mental and physical stimuli such as touch, and the internal fluctuation of hormones, can influence sexual arousal. Foreplay is the mutual sexual stimulation of one’s partner, usually as a prelude to sexual intercourse. Flirting is a social and sometimes, sexual activity involving verbal or written communication, as well as body language by one person to another, suggesting an interest in a deeper relationship with the other. Erotic is arousing or satisfying sexual desire subject to or marked by strong sexual desire. Pre-marital sex is sexual activity between unmarried persons.

Question and Answer
Is the penis a muscle or does it have cartilage? How then can it be broken?
Jimoh Taiwo
The penis is not a muscle contrary to popular belief. It does not contain any muscle, which is why you cannot do much about its shape when it is erect. The penis is a kind of sponge that is filled with blood when a man is sexually excited. Blood builds up inside two cylinder-shaped chambers, causing the penis to swell and stiffen. The swelling blocks off the veins that normally take blood away from the penis. As an erection disappears, the arteries in the two chambers narrow again, allowing blood to drain away from the penis.
How effective are condoms?
My husband and I went on a couples’ cruise this summer and it was an awesome experience. But in spite of the use of a good condom, I still got pregnant. How effective are condoms? We’re still planning to go for holiday in December but I fear that I might be seasick.
Mrs. Chunua Okmarto
Condoms are effective at preventing unwanted pregnancies, but only work when they are used consistently and correctly. Studies estimate that 2 out of 100 couples using condoms consistently and correctly only become pregnant during the first year of use. To get the best out of condom use, do not remove them prior to ejaculation bacause it may lead to pregnancy. Make putting on of a condom part of the pleasure of foreplay; this way, your husband is less likely to lose his erection. Keep condom in a cool and dry place out of sunlight and please do not reuse condoms. Check the expiration dates on condoms. Yes, your last cruise to Spain was splendid and remarkable, but I tell you, the next one to Dubai is going to be breathtaking because of the historical places couples visit. I want as many couples to be part of this cruise. You should not be afraid of seasickness; there are medical experts that would take good care of you.
What is ‘orchitis’?
Orawemu Sunny
Orchitis is a condition in which the testicle is inflamed, and that can be secondary to an infection or another inflammatory condition. But certainly, infection is the most common cause of an infection of the testicle.
