8 amazing clitoris curiosities

When it comes to clitoris, as well as other aspects of women's sexuality, almost everything is a big mystery. Science has scarcely studied the functioning and characteristics of this organ, and the social taboos that make it difficult for women to obtain information add even greater weight to the lack of knowledge about this very peculiar organ.

The name clitoris is based on a Greek word meaning key. Quite suggestive, isn't it? This all-female organ has some very interesting features that you may not know about. And since self-awareness is always a great ally for sexual pleasure, be sure to check out these curiosities about the sexiest organ of all, yours!

1. It is made exclusively for pleasure

And there are still people who think sex is made for men. For only women have the benefit of having an organ whose sole function is to provide pleasure. Isn't it sensational? If nature has given us this gift, surely we have to enjoy it very well.


The human being has the benefit of enjoying sexual intercourse, a trick of evolution to make reproduction more efficient. However, research indicates that at least 30% of women have never reached an orgasm. This shows that many women still do not know the potential of their body.

2. It's bigger than you think

Since the visible part of the clitoris (which is also the most sensitive) is so small and not infrequently hidden by the foreskin, that skin that is just there to protect it, we often find that the clitoris is just that. But in fact, it is much larger than we think and extends internally along the vaginal opening to the perineum.

For this reason, penetration is also pleasurable even if the clitoral glans are not being stimulated.


3. Allows multiple orgasm

The clitoral muscles do not relax soon after climax and for this reason may enable the famous multiple orgasms. While in men the sexual apex leads to further penis relaxation, the clitoris remains active and ready for further stimulation. This can be considered as a great privilege!

4. Looks like the penis

That's right. Clitoris and penis have similarities in many ways. In addition to being formed by an erectile tissue, similar to that of the male sexual organ, the clitoris, though harder to see, fills with blood and grows when stimulated, like a small erection. It also comes with the foreskin, the protective skin that surrounds the glans.

5. Is more sensitive than penis or tongue

The clitoris has more nerve receptors than the penis or tongue. There are more than 8,000 nerve endings that culminate in a very small space. Imagine how much pleasure potential there is. But with all this sensitivity you also have to be careful not to scratch or hurt the clitoris in any way. An error in pressure at the time of stimulation can even disrupt all arousal.


6. Never get old

Being a woman really has its advantages. How about an exclusive sexual organ for your pleasure, highly sensitive and never aging? Congratulations, you already have. While men freak out about the ghost of future manhood, women can rest easy, at least when it comes to sexual pleasure.

7. Is related to every female orgasm

It has long been believed that female orgasm could be vaginal or clitoral. But recent studies indicate that in fact every woman's climax is caused by clitoral arousal, even if it is not directly stimulated.

This makes knowledge of the clitoris an important premise for knowing female pleasure. If every orgasm depends on the clitoris, we better get more and more familiar with it.

8. Can be exercised

Like all muscles, clitoral muscles can also be exercised, making them stronger and more prepared for pleasure. Sagging in this area, for example, is one of the biggest causes for lack of orgasm in women.

The sexologist Valéria Walfrido points out the pompous exercises, technique that consists in the contraction and relaxation of the vaginal muscles: In the clitoris there are three components: head, middle and base, and numerous nerve endings that supply the pelvis. This region and its surroundings can be strengthened through perineal exercises and intimate bodybuilding. Does the power of these muscles make a difference in your orgasm and your love?

Sitting in a chair, contract the muscles of the vagina to the anus and hold for three seconds. After this time, relax and repeat the movement up to ten times. Pomposing is a great exercise for the female sex organs and an interesting technique to use during penetration. Simple walks also help keep the clitoris strong.
