Since more of us are shaving our "mounds" these days, that part of our anatomy has become far more noticeable in many women. The "Venus Mound", the "Mons Pubis", the "Mons Veneris", or more simply and accurately the "Pounding Box", is that pad of fatty tissue that contains our labia majora, labia minora, clitoris and Bartholins's glands (which produce that thick, creamy lubricant during sexual arousal and throughout sexual intercourse). It's importance is that it contains oil secreting glands that help to arouse the male when he "goes down" prior to intercourse, and helps to protect our delicate internal organs from any damage when our mate is fully aroused and thrusting his penis deep within us.
