So here's why.

It's because when we're having intercourse, we're getting stimulation in our vagina.

And our vaginas do not have very many nerve endings in them.

Like think about how intense childbirth is.

If we had even more nerve endings there, that would not be a good thing.

So we're getting stimulation of a part of our body that just is hardwired not to feel a ton of sensation.

The most sensitive part of our body as women is the clitoris.

So the clitoris is this incredible organ.

It's the only organ in the entire human body that exists solely for the purpose of pleasure.

The penis has reproductive functions.

The clitoris is just purely for pleasure.

The clitoris has about eight to 10,000 nerve endings in it and compare that to the penis as two to 3000.

So we have way more nerve endings, way more sensitivity.

And this is where I can science geek out on you.

Like when we are fetuses in the womb,

We are actually, we all start off essentially with no gender.

And then around 11 weeks or so, that's when we start to differentiate into male or female.

So the analogy I always give is like, imagine a ball of clay.

So I could take a ball of clay and I could form it into a mug, or I could take that same ball of clay and I could form it into a plate.

So it's the same ball of clay that I'm starting with, I'm just making different shapes out of it, right?
