8 amazing facts about the clitoris

When it comes to the clitoris, as well as other aspects of a woman’s sexuality, almost everything is a big mystery. Science has studied little about 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 exclusively female organ has some very interesting features that you may not be aware of. And as self-knowledge is always a great ally for sexual pleasure, be sure to check out these curiosities about the most sensual organ of all, yours!

1. It is made exclusively for pleasure

And there are still people who think that 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, we certainly have to make the most of it.

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

2. It’s bigger than you think

As the visible part of the clitoris (which is also the most sensitive) is so small and is not rarely hidden by the foreskin, that skin that is there precisely to protect it, it is common to think 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 glans of the clitoris is not being stimulated.

3. Allows for multiple orgasm

The clitoral muscles don’t relax right after climax and for that reason they can make the famous multiple orgasms possible. While in men, the sexual climax leads to further relaxation of the penis, the clitoris remains active and ready for further stimulation. This can be considered 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 erectile tissue, similar to that of the male sexual organ, the clitoris, although more difficult 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. It is more sensitive than the penis or tongue

The clitoris has more nerve receptors than the penis or tongue. There are more than 8 thousand nerve endings that culminate in a very small space. Imagine how much potential for pleasure 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 gets old

Being a woman does have its perks. How about an exclusive sexual organ for your pleasure, highly sensitive and that never gets old? Congratulations, you already have. While men are terrified of the specter of virility in the future, women can rest easy, at least when it comes to sexual pleasure.

7. It is related to every female orgasm

For a long time it was believed that the female orgasm could be vaginal or clitoral. But recent studies indicate that in fact every climax in a woman is caused by clitoral arousal, even if it is not stimulated directly.

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

8. Can be exercised

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

Sexologist Valéria Walfrido recommends pompoarism exercises, a technique that consists of contraction and relaxation of the vaginal muscles: “In the clitoris there are three components: head, middle part and base, in addition to numerous nerve endings that irrigate the pelvis. This region and its surroundings can be strengthened through perineal exercises and intimate bodybuilding. The power of these muscles makes the difference when it comes to orgasm and being loved.”

Sitting on a chair, contract the muscles from the vagina to the anus and hold for three seconds. After this time, relax and repeat the movement up to ten times. Pompoarismo is a great exercise for the female sex organs and an interesting technique to be used during penetration. Simple walks also help to keep the clitoris strengthened.
