Anatomic maps of erogenous and aversive sensation zones of the breasts, vulva, and vagina: a questionnaire-based study
Erogenous sensation was most prominent in the vulvar structures, including the vaginal introitus and glans clitoris, followed by the superficial surface of the vaginal canal. Aversive sensation associated with the anus primarily came from feelings of judgment and shame, while other ASZs were reportedly due to pain and sensitivity.
