Why is the clitoris so sensitive?
Until recently, researchers thought that the clitoris had 8,000 nerve endings.
For comparison, that's more than double the sensory receptors found on the glands of the penis.
But a study led by doctor Blair Peters from the Oregon Health and Science University School of Medicine challenged that belief.
The study was presented at a scientific conference back in 2022 and analyzed clitoral tissue from seven transmasculine volunteers who were undergoing genital surgery, and the results showed that there were actually more than 10,000 nerve fibers in each clitoris.
That's 25% more than previously estimated.
Peters is quoted in the study's media release as saying.
It's startling to think about more than 10,000 nerve fibers being concentrated in something as small as the clitoris.
Compare the clitoris to the penis before, are there really similarities between the two?
Yes, absolutely.
And that's the second key point to understand.
The small part of the clitoris that you can see is actually the glands.
Most of it is actually hidden inside the body.
The hood extends into two roots, each about 10 centimeters long, that stretch along either side of the vagina.
When stimulated, that can lead to vaginal orgasms.
Like the penis, the clitoris is a cavern.
Body, meaning it swells and grows when aroused.
When it's stimulated sexually, it gets hard.
The glands and shaft fill with blood and it becomes erect.
So a clitoris can have an erection just like a penis.
