Everyone’s best friend, the clit
6 things you did or didn’t know yet about the clitoris
Aaahhhh the clitoris, we all know it’s there although for some it may be a bit harder to find than others. But boy once you do, you’ll find that a woman’s little treasure holds so much pleasure & power. Because it’s (one of) a woman’s gateway(s) to a blissful climax, I’d like to but the clit in the spot! Share these 6 fun little facts with your lover, partner, friend or sibling if there’s at least one of them that you didn’t know already!
#1 Pleasure, pleasure & pleasure
The clitoris’s sole purpose is pleasure, making it the epicentre of sexual arousal. That’s it, just 1 job! So here’s a shoutout from all women on this planet: thank you for doing such a god damn great job as well.
#2 Penis & Clitoris: Same beginnings, different endings
Fascinatingly, the clitoris develops from the same embryonic tissue as the penis. While their final forms differ, this shared origin underscores the similarities in sexual anatomy across genders. So maybe we’re not that different after all? (Who am I kidding…)
#3 That girl got some nerve(s)
Don’t let here petite size fool you! Research has shown that the clitoris has more than 8000 nerve endings, almost more than double the amount of a penis. This is exactly why it’s so sensitive and considered the powerhouse of sexual pleasure.
#4 It’s bigger than you think!
With the clitoris, it’s definitely not “what you see is what you get”. The clit is way larger than many people think. It might look like just a little pink button with a hood (the clitoral hood), internally it extends within the body in the shape of a wishbone, with two clitoral legs that extend up to 9cm in length. Of course, it’s not a one-size-fits-all and shapes and sizes vary between individuals.
#5 The clitoris gets ‘hard’ like a penis
Similar to the penis, the clitoris contains erectile tissue that becomes flooded with blood during arousal. This engorgement causes the clitoris to swell and become even more sensitive, intensifying sexual pleasure and paving the way for an orgasm. If however during sex it starts to feel a bit too sensitive, kindly tell your lover so slow down a bit and pay a bit more attention to the surrounding areas or switch it up a little.
#6 The clit deserves the attention
Research has found that approximately 75% of women need clitoral stimulation in order to reach orgasm. So let us quickly debunk the myth that women can easily reach a climax solely via vaginal penetration. So here’s an open invitation to switch up your positions from time to time so that the clit gets the care and attention it merits, you’ll thank me later.
