#JustTheTipTuesday - #GetClitorate
Do you know what the clitoris is? Do you know where it is? ALL OF IT? What we used to think of as the clitoris is actually just one small, external (albeit very sensitive) portion of a much larger and more complex tissue structure that we are only just now getting to know about.
The #GetCliterate movement is attempting to provide information and education on exactly what the clitoris looks like, and how you can begin to get to know it better - and thereby have a more fulfilling sex.
This is what the clitoris actually looks like;
So that little “nub” that you see at the top of a vulva (please, please, tell me you’ve seen it before!) is just the beginning. The clitoris is actually an amazing organ that extends down, encircling the vaginal canal, and even has little wings that extend outward. It is quite the beautiful organ. Where the all the parts come together, just below the glans clitoris, before it splits to go around the vagina, is where many scholars believe is the “g-spot” location, as it will be the crux of where the different tissues merge - thereby being a sensitive location. Specifically, it is directly about 2 inches or so inside the vagina, on the top of the canal - and can often be felt by someone paying attention to subtle differences in texture.
When there is something stimulating inside the vagina, it is contracting, moving, and stimulating this larger clitoral organ. In conjunction with the concentration of nerve endings in the glans clitoris an orgasm occurs - however, orgasm can occur by stimulating each of these areas separately as well.
Some other interesting facts about the clitoris:
- The clitoris continues to grow throughout a woman’s life, and after menopause, it can even become 2.5 times larger than before!
- It contains 8,000 nerve endings - twice as many as a penis!
- The sole purpose of the clitoris is to bring a woman pleasure
- It does have a limit, however - if it reaches the maximum pleasure power or is stimulated too much, it can actually become too sensitive, even painful, for some women
- It becomes “erect” as well! It is actually made of similar tissue to that of the penis, and when a woman becomes aroused, it becomes engorged with blood, swelling up, and being more able to receive stimulation!
- The word “clitoris” is Greek for “key” (maybe as in the key to pleasure?)
