Clitoris

What is the clitoris?

The clitoris is a female sexual organ that is the most sensitive area of the vulva and the principal source of female sexual pleasure. With more than 8,000 sensory nerve endings, the clitoris is considered to be the female equivalent of the penis. To the vast majority of women, clitoris stimulation is required for them to reach orgasm.

It’s not just humans who have a clitoris. Mammals do too! Female dolphins, for example, also have a working clitoris that’s the main responsible for their sexual pleasure.

Where is the clitoris?

Sad as it sounds, a recent study confirmed that nearly half of young men don’t know how to find a woman’s clitoris. This elusive but all-important sexual organ should never be missed, so I’m going to tell you how to find it!

In a nutshell, the clitoris is located at the top of the vulva, above the urethra and the vaginal opening. While it’s bigger than most people assume, as it extends internally, the clitoris tends to be very small and is often covered by female labia.

If this explanation is not enough to make you find your girlfriend’s clitoris, my suggestion is that you ask for her support. Stimulating the clitoris while having sex can be challenging depending on the person, but it’s easier when it comes to cunnilingus, so give it a try! Mutual masturbation can also come in handy.
