Introduction

When it comes to sex, many of us are aware of our basic anatomy but we often over-simplify what goes on beneath the surface of our bodies. Some of us still talk about things 'down below' and while there's a certain quaintness about using such terms they are inaccurate and misleading. An informed working knowledge of the parts of the body used for sex can give greater control over what we do sexually and help put sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and other problems in context. For example, did you know that pain while getting fucked is often due to the cock 'prodding' nerve endings at the base of your spine or sensitive arse muscles inside your body? The pain will often go if you change the position or relax the muscles. This section takes us back to school to look at the areas most associated with sex:

The cock and balls

The mouth and throat

The digestive system (arse and rectum) This online advice guide is an extract from the book TOGETHER, by kind permission of Patriic Gayle and Gay Times Books. The book itself is over 300 pages long and contains:
