The clitoris is the analogue organ to the penis in a man. It is the seat of the nerve sensations known as orgasm. The clitoris is at the top of the vulva and in front of the vaginal opening. It is where the inner lips meet and is about the size of a pea.
The clitoris is a shaft of engorgeable tissue built just like a penis with a sexually sensitive head (the glans) at its tip, just like the head of a small penis. It is very sensitive to touch, and its stimulation helps a woman to have an orgasm.
The clitoris comes equipped with a foreskin or prepuce, just like an uncircumcized penis, and during sexual excitement, the foreskin retracts, exposing the glans of the clitoris, the little “button” most people think is the entire organ.
Unlike the shaft of the penis, which is free-hanging, the shaft of the clitoris lays vertically along the body’s midline, covered just beneath a layer of fat and skin. The shaft of the clitoris reaches down toward the vagina and then splits to each side.
Most women achieve orgasm through friction of the clitoris against the man’s pubic bone while engaged in intercourse or through stimulation of the clitoris by manual or oral contact.
