Correct answers:
1. A mate announces that he's the proud owner of a Prince Albert. What is he talking about?
Answer: A piercing through the penis head
Legend has it that Queen Victoria's consort, Prince Albert, perforated his knob in order to strap it to his leg and make horse-riding more comfortable. Whatever the case, the modern-day ring piercing runs from the top of the penis head to the underside, just above the shaft. Prince Albert fans report increased soldier sensitivity, especially during sex.

2. The frenulum might sound familiar, but what exactly is it?
Answer: The band of tissue that runs from the tip of the penis to the ridge around the head
In some cases, the frenulum can be broken or torn during vigorous sexual activity. It's also removed as part of a circumcision; but never try this at home.

3. "I touched his prostate and he came like a steam train," claimed Julia. How could she have done this?
Answer: By inserting her finger into his anus
The prostate gland is responsible for producing a secretion that gives semen its fluid consistency. It's also a sexual hot-spot. By inserting a finger inside the anus (using lubrication to avoid tearing this sensitive area) and massaging the bulb-like tissue just inside, it can enhance orgasm or even trigger it without any other form of stimulation.

Answer: Between the pubic mound and the urethral opening

Answer: She knows how to exercise an all-important muscle in the body
The pelvic floor consists of muscle fibres underneath the pelvis. Pelvic floor exercises, known as Kegel exercises, are intended to help women tighten these muscles, which is said to enhance sexual pleasure (as well as reducing the risk of doing a little wee when you least expect it).
