Vaginal fornix explained

Vaginal fornix
Latin:	fornix vaginae

The fornices of the vagina (: fornix of the vagina or fornix vaginae) are the superior portions of the vagina, extending into the recesses created by the vaginal portion of cervix. The word is Latin for 'arch'.

Sexuality

During sexual intercourse in the missionary position, the tip of the penis reaches the anterior fornix, while in the rear-entry position it reaches the posterior fornix.^[1] The anterior fornix is also called the a-spot, an analogue to the g-spot which is closer to the vaginal opening.^[2]
