In this article, we’ll delve into the fascinating world of the clitoris and share five incredible things every woman should know about this pleasure powerhouse. From its anatomy to tips for maximizing pleasure, this guide will help you unlock the full potential of your clit.
- The clit is a lot bigger than you think
You may have noticed your clit sitting atop your vaginal opening being so small. In fact, it is so small and interesting people call it a nut. Yeah, a different kind of ‘nut’ than the ‘nuts’ on a man’s body (the testicles).
But although the clitoris appears to be no less than 1 to 2 inches, in reality, you are only looking at the tip of the iceberg. The clitoris that you can see with your eyes because it is located outside of your body, is called the glans.
The clitoris itself, inside your body, is actually a lot bigger than what can be seen by the eyes. Inside, the inner part of the clitoris can extend up to 3 to 4 inches in length, making it almost similar to the anatomy of a man’s flaccid penis.
There’s so much the clit can do for you.
- The clit is the equivalent of a penis
Now of course, studies have said that the clitoris serves no other purpose in the female body but of sexual pleasure. Unlike the penis as part of male biology, the clit does not play a role in reproduction or even urination.
The clit exists solely for the purpose of making a woman happy, very happy, sexually. Although it appears small on the outside, on the inside, the clit is very complex and has extended parts that resemble a penis very, very much, indeed.
You will be able to notice two parts below the clit itself that resemble what would be the testicles in men.
In this particular area, the clit is connected to at least 8,000 never fibres that will make sex that much more pleasurable when stimulated properly.
The clitoris is actually a much bigger part of your female sexual organ and it needs more attention now more than ever.
A publication from the UCSF Department of Urology explains that the male penis and the female clitoris share similarities in their structures. Both possess corporal bodies made up of sinusoidal erectile tissue, enveloped by a dense tunica albuginea. Similarly, they both have corresponding structures: the glans penis for males and the glans clitoris for females. However, a notable distinction between males and females is the absence of a tubular urethra within the clitoris.
- You need to know about the Glitoris
In early 2017, an avant-garde artist from Australia made a work of art she named the Glitoris. Yep, very straightforward.
Just as the name suggests, her artwork is a literal giant golden clitoris made from foam, glitters, sequins and lycra. Of course, this giant golden clitoris is a sculpture she had made as part of an exhibition.
The model of the real clitoris is based on a female’s actual entirety of the clitoris, including the inner parts that hide inside your body. The artwork is a 100:1 scale model and it’s super strikingly eye-catchy.
The artist who made it said she wanted to raise awareness about this female organ that rarely gets talked about. She said, most of the women she talked to don’t even know what the clit is!
Now, she wishes more people will be open to having discussions on the amazingness of the clit.
- We know so little about the clit
Isn’t it incredible that we know so little about the clit when we seem to know a lot more about the penis? Also, the fact that conclusive understanding of the clit has only been around for 20 years.
As per The Guardian, Helen E. O’Connell, an Australian professor of urology and a forerunner in the anatomical study of the clitoris, spearheaded the inaugural comprehensive anatomical examination of the clitoris, which was published in 1998. Despite such research, the clitoris remains a subject that has historically been mischaracterized and not entirely understood.
The last two decades! That’s the longest we have come to know so much about the clit yet so little.
Meanwhile, women have existed for tens of thousands of years and when you really think about it, we have existed for as long as men have.
So it’s truly incredible just how much information about the clit has been so abandoned. Welp, who knows if knowledge was even suppressed?
But in this era of knowledge (thanks, the Internet), it is time to gain as much knowledge about the clit as possible.
Girls ought to read up more about the clit so we know well our own anatomy and what really makes us feel good in bed.
- A clitoral orgasm is a lot easier to achieve
When it comes to female sexual climax, we are always told about the G-spot. We are told to look for the G-spot. We are told to tell our partners to be able to locate the G-spot.
According to Healthline Media, attaining a clitoral orgasm is notably simpler due to the easily reachable nature of the clitoris and its extensive array of over 8000 nerve endings. Additionally, stimulating the clitoris can be achieved through techniques such as manual touch, oral stimulation, and engaging in diverse sexual positions that involve thrusting.
But the G-spot is so elusive and some experts have even suggested that it doesn’t even exist. Hey, do you think it’s possible we have been misguided to find something that doesn’t exist?
Meanwhile, the clit does exist and it’s clear as day where it is located. On top of that, the clit is an organ that can make you orgasm that much easier. Remember that the clit is practically a penis for females!
Stimulate the penis and orgasm can be had in under 4 minutes! Provided you have learnt to work with your clit. The next time you are trying to get an orgasm with your partner, tell them to aim for the clit.
To bring the discussion to a close, five unbelievable things were discussed about female’s clit that they do not know. Understanding and learning more about female anatomy and body can leave people awe-struck and fascinated by female reproductive organs.
12 Amazing Facts About The Clitoris
The clitoris, a small but powerful organ, is often overlooked and misunderstood. Despite its crucial role in sexual pleasure and orgasm, it remains a taboo subject in many cultures. In this paper, we will explore 12 amazing facts about the clitoris, shedding light on its anatomy, function, and cultural significance.
1. The word ‘clitoris’ comes from the Greek word ‘kleitoris’ which means ‘little hill’. This accurately describes the appearance of the clitoris, as it is a small, protruding structure located at the top of the vulva.
2. The clitoris is the only organ in the human body solely dedicated to pleasure. While other organs have multiple functions, such as the penis which also serves a reproductive purpose, the clitoris’s sole purpose is to provide sexual pleasure.
3. The clitoris is much larger than what meets the eye. While the visible part is only a small button-like structure, the clitoris actually extends inside the body, with two shafts that measure up to 9cm in length.
4. The clitoris has more nerve endings than any other part of the human body. With over 8,000 nerve endings, it is highly sensitive to touch and can produce intense pleasure when stimulated.
5. The clitoris is not just a small bump. It has a complex structure that includes the glans (the visible part), the shafts, the crura (legs), and the vestibular bulbs (located on either side of the vaginal opening). All of these parts work together to produce pleasure and orgasm.
6. The clitoris is not just for women. In fact, all male and female fetuses have a clitoris in the early stages of development. In males, the clitoris develops into the penis, while in females, it remains the clitoris.
7. The clitoris can become erect just like the penis. When aroused, the clitoris fills with blood and becomes enlarged, just like the penis. This is what makes it possible for women to experience erections and multiple orgasms.
8. The clitoris is not just for vaginal penetration. While the clitoris is often stimulated during intercourse, it can also be stimulated through other means such as oral sex, manual stimulation, or with the use of sex toys.
9. The clitoris can provide different types of orgasms. While many people associate the clitoris with clitoral orgasms, there are actually different types of orgasms that can be achieved through clitoral stimulation, such as vaginal, anal, and blended orgasms.
10. The clitoris continues to grow throughout a woman’s life. Just like other parts of the body, the clitoris continues to develop and grow as a woman ages. This means that as a woman gets older, she may be able to experience more intense and satisfying orgasms.
11. The clitoris plays a crucial role in female sexual pleasure and orgasm. While it is often overshadowed by the vagina, the clitoris is actually the key to female sexual pleasure and orgasm. In fact, it is estimated that 70-80% of women need clitoral stimulation to reach orgasm.
12. The clitoris has a rich cultural history. Throughout history, the clitoris has been seen as a symbol of female power, sexuality, and pleasure. However, in many cultures, it has also been subjected to shame, stigma, and even mutilation. It is only in recent years that the clitoris has been recognized and celebrated for its important role in female sexual pleasure.
In conclusion, the clitoris is a small but incredible organ that deserves more attention and understanding. Its complex anatomy, incredible sensitivity, and crucial role in sexual pleasure make it a fascinating and essential part of the human body. By learning more about the clitoris, we can not only enhance our own sexual experiences, but also promote a more positive and inclusive view of female sexuality.
