In fact, do you Know your Clitoris?

The clitoris is a part of the female genitalia. If you have a clitoris, do you know about this nerve-dense area? It’s known as the “nucleus of pleasure”, and it’s a part of the female genitalia that allows you to experience endless pleasure and bring about many orgasms. But the truth is, many women don’t fully understand the clitoris. Although the clitoris is part of the female genitalia, it has no reproductive function. It is only as big as a pea and its sole purpose is to provide sexual pleasure through stimulation.

Do you know the origin of the name clitoris?

It is possible that the word clitoris is derived from the ancient Greek word meaning “key”, which suggests that ancient scholars considered it to be the female key or key to unlocking your pleasure.

Structural components of the clitoris

Even though the clitoris is just a tiny part of the outside of our body, it’s actually a pretty important anatomical structure. The clitoris is made up of the glans, clitoral hood, clitoral legs, and clitoral bulb, and the only things visible to the naked eye are the glans and the clitoral hood; the glans looks like a small dome of flesh encased in the clitoral hood and surrounded by the wrinkled inner vaginal lips. The glans is usually referred to using peas or buds instead. Whereas the legs of the clitoris pass through the fat mound above the clitoral hood, known as the mons pubis, the balls of the clitoris surround the vaginal opening, enclosing the vagina in a protective ring.
On top of that, the clitoris is dotted with a complex network of nerves, making it your most sensitive area. Did you know that there are 8,000 nerve endings in the glans alone, in fact, the clitoris has more nerve endings compared to the vulva part of the body and is therefore very sensitive. If you press directly with your hand or apply too much pressure during sex, it can lead to pain in the clitoris, but proper stimulation can make you feel sexually aroused and increase sexual tension until you reach orgasm.

The role of the clitoris

The clitoris is rich in nerve endings and is very sensitive to sexual stimulation, and your sexual activities such as masturbation or sex can cause you to experience intense sexual pleasure. If you stimulate this part of your body, you will be sexually stimulated even by touching it, because the whole vulva is a sensitive zone, and the clitoris is one of the most sensitive points, and stimulating it can make your body produce the most pleasurable sexual response, and it is easier for women to reach orgasm. In addition, the clitoris, as part of the female external genitalia, is physiologically structurally and functionally linked to the reproductive system.

Differences between clitoris and penis

In terms of physiological structure, the clitoris, as part of the female external genitalia, consists of the clitoral head, clitoral bulb and clitoral pedicle, and is small in size, while the penis is the main part of the male external genitalia, and is relatively large in size, and its length and thickness then varies according to individual differences. The clitoris and penis are anatomically identical. In terms of function, the clitoris does not have the function of urination, but mainly plays an important role in sexual life, is more sensitive to sexual stimulation, produces strong sexual pleasure, and helps women to better obtain orgasm. The penis, on the other hand, has the functions of urination, sexual intercourse and ejaculation. During sex, the male penis will be stimulated by the excitement of erection, penetrative sex with the partner, and ejaculation at the time of orgasm.

Tips for Clitoral Orgasm
