Where is the Clitoris? Asked & Answered.

I wrote this blog because so many people are just too embarrassed to ask, where is the clitoris? People assume they should already know the answer, even though no one really talks about it. Since around “50 to 75% of women need clitoral stimulation to achieve orgasm,” this little body part can pack a big punch in terms of your sex life.

Now that I’ve got your attention, let’s dive into some anatomy and definitions.

Clitoris: Situated at the top of the vagina, the clitoris has been affectionately referred to as the “pleasure button.” It happens to be one of the most sensitive body parts with a multitude of nerve endings. The Glans Clitoris is the front-facing part of the clit and is the only visible external part. The clitoris is usually the size of a pea, but can vary from person to person.

Clitoral Hood: This piece of skin helps protect the Glans Clitoris. It can be quite sensitive, and for this reason, some vulva owners prefer indirect clitoral stimulation on the hood.

Labia: Vaginal lips, consisting of the outer lips, which form the outer limits of the genitalia— and the inner lips, which run from the clitoral hood to below the vaginal opening.

The truth is, the clitoris is not a great mystery. It’s a little bump with the potential for emanating a whole lot of pleasure. For many, clitoral stimulation is the most common way to achieve orgasm. And it’s right at your fingertips.

Now that you know where to find the clitoris, you’re on your way to unlocking more pleasure and more orgasms.
