Prolapse and sexual expression

HI All

Been noodling on what happens with sexual arousal when we have prolapse.

If there is cystocele, and the bladder impinges on the anterior vaginal wall, I wonder where the G-spot goes?

Does it get squashed underneath the descending bladder, or is it on the part of the vaginal wall which becomes stretched out as the bladder comes back into the vaginal space?

If so, does this make the G-spot spread out and become larger, with the nerve endings further apart?

Would this make the G-spot more, or less, sensitive to stimulation?

If the bladder descends to the introitus or beyond, does the G-spot get stimulated by the outer labia, or contact with pubic hair, or the crotch of undies?

Could this unusual stimulation of the G-spot account for the description I have read a few times on the Forums of feeling contantly aroused, which can cause women significant distress?

If there are unwelcome feelings of sexual arousal that accompany POP I think it is worth figuring out what to do with the sensation. If you just want to ignore the sensation there is a risk of your brain ignoring all sensations of arousal, so that might be risky for expression and enjoyment of your sexuality. A woman's sexual energy is so important for her overall wellbeing. To loses contact with that part of you is to lose something of yourself. I think the answer is to channel it to better use.

All sensations in the vulva and vagina are important. They have messages for us. One of these messages is that we have organs impinging on the vagina and vulva. The message here is to get those organs back where they belong. Whole Woman Posture will move your pelvic organs forwards and re-establish more normal positioning for them, where they impinge less on the vaginal space, and function more efficiently.

If a woman has been turned off from her sexual sensations and desires early in life, perhaps she learns to ignore sexual sensations in the genitals and as an adult ignores early POP symptoms as well? She may feel no need to attend to these weird sensations while the POP is minor because she is blocking all sensations in the genitals, including pleasurable sensations. Once she can no longer ignore the pressure, discomfort and fullness, further damage may have been done to the endopelvic fascia that support her pelvic organs, and prolapse may be major and less easy to manage without surgery.

This is a good reason to educate our daughters to heed the sensations in their pelvis from an early age and teach them bit by bit how to enjoy their bodies in ways that affirm their Feminine identity, do them no harm, and ways that honour the sensibilities of others. Sexuality is a part of life that needs to be celebrated. It is a part of our essential energy, from birth through to death.

Whole Woman education needs to begin with little girls as soon as they are aware that they are human, and especially when they become aware that they are different from little boys. Young children are so impressionable. Positive reinforcement of what it means to be female needs to begin young. It is so hard to un-learn erroneous attitudes that were taught to us when we were very young. Equally, affirming attitudes learned while we are very young will be with us right through our lives.

I am not suggesting that we should introduce the concept of 'penis in vagina' sex to toddlers. I am saying that we are sexual beings from birth, that our sexual energy is only one part of our overall energyl, and that each child has the right to be nurtured and preserved from harm. That means affirming them, validating their feelings, allowing them to express themselves, encouraging them to experience joy, giving them tools to make their way through life intact in body, mind and soul.
