Sexuality
During sexual intercourse in the missionary position, the tip of the penis may reach the anterior fornix, while in the rear-entry position it may reach the posterior fornix.[1]
The anterior fornix is also called the a-spot, an analogue to the g-spot (Gräfenberg spot), which is closer to the vaginal opening, and also on the anterior side of the vagina.[2]
