The vagina receives the [[penis]] during sexual intercourse. To accommodate smoother penetration of the vagina during sexual intercourse or other sexual activity, vaginal moisture increases during sexual arousal in human females. This increase in moisture provides vaginal lubrication, which reduces friction. The texture of the vaginal walls creates friction for the penis during sexual intercourse and stimulates it toward [[ejaculation]], enabling fertilization.

==History==

Knowledge of the overwhelming superiority of the [[intact]], [[foreskinned]] [[penis]] over the [[circumcised]] penis in assuring the pleasure and orgasm of the female partner is of long standing. Rabbi Isaac ben Yedaiah, who lived in Southern France in the late 13th century, wrote effusively of the pleasures that the [[foreskin]] provided to the woman. Marc Saperstein (1980) provided a translation:
