To remember

👉 The sole and only function of the clitoris is to provide pleasure.

👉 For many women, clitoral stimulation is the only way to achieve orgasm.

The clitoris is the main and most sensitive organ of female pleasure. Its sole and only function is... to provide pleasure! One can say it has a structure identical to that of the penis (corpus cavernosum, foreskin, and glans), but in an embryonic way. Just like the penis, the clitoris can become erect, thanks to the abundance of blood vessels found within it.

 What does the clitoris look like?

The body and glans of the clitoris are the only visible external parts, and also...

• The visible "button" of the clitoris has a diameter of 0.7 to 1 cm.

• The external and internal part of the clitoris is the size of a hand.

• The external part is the meeting point of two 10 cm roots.

• The clitoral roots surround the vagina and the urethra (the exit canal of the bladder).

   

The clitoris, the key to orgasm for women?

One can say that the clitoris "works as a team" with the vagina to provide pleasure. Indeed, during vaginal penetration, the internal part of the clitoris is stimulated and triggers the opening and lubrication of the vagina. To maximize this pleasure, the external part of the clitoris can be stimulated with fingers or the mouth.

For many women, clitoral stimulation is the only way to achieve orgasm.
