Anterior fornix erogenous zone Information & Anterior fornix erogenous zone Links at HealthHaven.com

The anterior fornix erogenous zone (also known as the AFE zone, AFE, A-spot, epicenter, deep spot or second G-spot) is an erogenous zone that when stimulated can lead to rapid vaginal lubrication and arousal, sometimes without any other form of stimulation, with continued stimulation resulting in an intense orgasm.

[edit] Discovery

[edit] Early research

The AFE zone was discovered by Malaysian sex scientist Dr. Chua Chee Ann. In his research with female subjects suffering from vaginal dryness, he found that stimulation of an area deep in the vagina on the anterior wall resulted in rapid lubrication and arousal. He did not make his discovery public until thirteen years after it was made.

[edit] A-spot stimulation technique

Dr. Chua Chee Ann has promoted his A-spot stimulation technique in books and at seminars as the most effective means of stimulating the AFE zone. The technique involves applying pressure to the area, making a scooping motion, and stimulating other parts of the vagina. He claims that if the technique is practiced for at least 10 minutes a day, it will make vaginal lubrication and orgasms regularly attainable, even without foreplay.

[edit] Deep spot technique

Self-proclaimed seduction expert David Shade claims to have discovered an erogenous zone in roughly same location as the AFE zone, which he refers to as the deep spot. Because of their close proximity, it is likely that the AFE zone and the deep spot are one and the same. However, he sometimes describes the deep spot as being "the cavity of the cervix", a term that is usually used to describe interior of the cervix, where semen is deposited for fertilization of a woman's ovum. This does not appear to be what Shade is referring to, as he sometimes describes the cavity of the cervix as a Frisbee-like ring around the cervix.

For stimulating the deep spot, David Shade promotes the deep spot technique. The deep spot technique differs from the A-spot stimulation technique because it only involves stimulating one part of the vagina at once. Shade also distinguishes between the "front" of the deep spot, which is in approximately the same location as the AFE zone) and the "back" of the deep spot, which is on the posterior wall. This back of the deep spot may be the so-called cul-de-sac, thought by some to be the rectouterine pouch, or another erogenous zone altogether.

[edit] Worldwide Acknowledgement

Dr. Chua Chee Ann, a medical doctor who graduated from the University of Malaya in 1972, and obtained his Masters in Public Health Degree from the University of Michigan USA has received worldwide acknowledgement from the medical fraternity for his discovery of the AFE Zone (A-Spot) and his A-Spot Stimulation techniques.

He was invited to present his AFE Zone findings at the following world conferences:

1993: 11th World Congress of Sexology, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
1994: 3rd Asian Conference of Sexology, New Delhi, India.
1995: Meeting of the Thai O&G Society, Bangkok, Thailand.
2002: 7th Asian Conference of Sexology, Singapore.

His research was also published in the Journal of the British Association for Sex and Marital Therapy Volume 12 No.4 November 1997.

His work was also documented in famous New York editor and author Judy Dutton's latest book "How We Do It: How the Science of Sex Can Make You a Better Lover (Hardcover), 2009". The book is available for sale at Amazon.com.

[edit] Location

[edit] Confusion

The AFE zone is located at or near the deepest point on the anterior wall of the vagina, above the cervix, where the anterior wall of the vagina starts to curve upward (the entrance to the anterior fornix, but some websites and news articles have described it as being on the posterior wall of the vagina, roughly opposite of the G-spot. Dr. Chua Chee Ann stated in an interview that this is completely wrong [1] . Some believe that this area may be a different erogenous zone altogether.

[edit] Connection to known female anatomy

Some believe that the AFE zone is the anterior fornix itself, but it is thought by some sex experts to be a degenerated female prostate (a theory that many have already applied to the G-spot and the Skene's gland) or the area where the vaginal nerves connect, which is thought to be near it. One other theory is that it is the vesicouterine pouch, due to its proximity to the supposed location of the AFE zone and the supposed erogenous qualities of the rectouterine pouch.

[edit] Mechanism

[edit] Lubrication

According to doctor Chua Chee Ann, the AFE zone redirects female ejaculatory fluid, which is expelled from the Skene's gland during G-spot orgasms, and turns it into vaginal lubrication. [2] Because stimulating the AFE zone causes this mechanism and creates an erotic sensation simultaneously, full arousal occurs very quickly.

[edit] Orgasm

The orgasms that result from stimulation of the AFE zone are thought to be distinct from the orgasms that result from stimulation of the clitoris, but some women who have experienced them say that they are similar in sensation to orgasms achieved by G-spot stimulation, while others say that they are more "intense".

[edit] Increased pleasure for men

Because it is further back in the vagina, the AFE zone is much more accessible during intercourse than the G-spot. Many men report that contact with the AFE zone, which has a wrinkly texture that has been described as similar to the tip of the nose, results in a pleasurable sensation of friction against the glans penis.
