Anatomy of the Clitoris

This was by far my favourite session at Desire and I'm happy to share an excerpt from it below. This post just addresses a few vulva caress techniques, but in the workshops we discussed and explored the female body from head to toe with many exciting stops in between.

Let's begin with the Clitoris, which is more than the myth of a "tiny pea-sized bump rich in nerve endings" as it is often described in medical and anatomical texts. It is actually a complex system of over eighteen parts that are similar to the penis. Rebecca Chalker, author of The Clitoral Truth, explains that the penis is actually derived from the female sex organs which undergo change at about eight weeks in utero. Included in this complex system are:

Glans (or head, which is often referred to as the clitoris)

Hood (which covers the glans and may provide indirect pleasurable stimulation of the glans)

Shaft (a cord-like structure beneath the hood that swells during excitement)

Bulbs (erectile tissue similar to the bulb of the penis)

Crura (part of the corpora cavernosa that fill with blood and become erect - these are the same structures that allow for penile erection)

Blood vessels and nerves - lots of them!

Three layers of muscle

Urethral sponge - site of the G-Spot

The clitoris is the only organ in the human body designed solely for the purpose of pleasure and this pleasure can be aroused in a wide variety of ways. While one woman may love direct clitoral glans stimulation, another may find the glans too sensitive to be touched during arousal. The only way to know what your partners enjoy is to ask them; in exchange for your genuine desire to please, they should offer constructive and appreciate feedback.
