Here is an interesting scientific article that maps out the sexual stimulations on a woman's brain and intensity of each.

The sensory cortex is a strip of brain tissue positioned roughly under where the band between a pair of headphones sits. Across it, neurons linked to different body parts exchange information about the sensory information feeding into them. This is often depicted as the "sensory homunculus", a distorted image of a man stretched across the brain, with his genitals lying next to his feet . The size of the body's parts show how much of the brain is dedicated to processing the sensory information from each body part.

These image show the precise locations that correspond to the vagina, cervix and female nipples on the brain's sensory cortex.

Sorry if I'm being dumb but I don't really get it.
What can I learn from this... is there some explanation?

If you look at the picture close enough you'll understand what places to stimulate more during sex to get better results.

The study also found a direct link between the nipples and the genitals, which may explain why some women can orgasm through nipple stimulation alone
Some have argued that women who derive pleasure from vaginal stimulation do so because their clitoris is being indirectly stimulated, but the current findings contradict this. "They support the reports of women that they experience orgasm from various forms of stimulation," says Beverly Whipple, also of Rutgers University, who was not involved in the current study.

This reserach for example, proves why foreplay is important. It may help explain why a lot of women claim that nipple stimulation is erotic, he adds.
Komisaruk also checked what happened when women's nipples were stimulated, and was surprised to find that in addition to the chest area of the cortex lighting up, the genital area was also activated.Meanwhile, Komisaruk says that nipple stimulation could enhance genital sensation in women with nerve damage. "It could be a supplement for experiencing orgasm," he says.

This is a scientific research so most of it is general knowledge but it's up to you on how to apply it to your own life.
