It's a huge part of the equation that we don't really talk about all that much.
There is just so much looking at vaginas that you can do without starting to encounter all these clitorises.
And so in the end, I just had to start doing clitorises because I was like, we don't know anything about them.
So if you look at a female snake, female snakes have hemiclitorises.
Crocodile females have clitorises and they're huge.
And they're right inside the vaginal canal where there's no way the penis would miss them.
But whether...
Females experience pleasure really hasn't been considered an interesting question.
And in some ways it has been eliminated from the discourse because females can get pregnant without having an orgasm.
And that's the case in humans, for example.
And so I think that that in some ways called into question how important clitoral stimulation might be for females during sex.
We know that clitoral stimulation does a ton of stuff in the reproductive system of females.
So it induces mucus production.
Mucous production is super important to prevent mechanical damage to the vaginal wall.
Without lubrication, the female gets hurt.
We also know that clitoral stimulation stimulates the immune cascade in the female because copulation can potentially cause some harm.
And because penises are dirty, the female wants to have her immune system activated.
Clitoral stimulation can cause contractions of the female reproductive tract.
Particularly if there is orgasm, the whole reproductive tract will contract and that can foster sperm transport.
So why have we neglected this area of research for so long is really baffling to me.
