Where is the clitoris? If you're now thinking: "Stupid question, of course on the feet", you may have associated the word clitoris with tickling, but you've definitely never taken a closer look at the female sexual organ .
The clitoris, also known as the clitoris , has nothing to do with tickling in the true sense of the word (apart from the fact that it can also make women laugh). And in our opinion, it is still quite underestimated.
Summary
Where the clitoris is, there lies female pleasure.
The clitoris is a so-called "corpora cavernosa".
Even though a distinction is made between vaginal and clitoral orgasms, experts assume that the clitoris always plays a role.

1. Where is the clitoris
So, pants down.
To find out where the clitoris is, you have to take a closer look at the vulva. You can also do this with a mirror and your hands (alternatively, see our graphic above).
So we have:
The labia minora and majora (the name doesn't say anything, by the way, even the small ones can be large - and we're not happy with the word "labia" anyway), the vestibule, the vagina (i.e. the "entrance"), the ureters - and right at the top, before it goes to the mons pubis, hidden under the foreskin, is the little treasure trove:
The clitoris . Looks pretty tiny? Well, as the saying goes: what is essential is invisible to the eye.
Although only a small part of the clitoris is visible (the glans, to be precise), there is much more to it. It is not just the small bump, but a whole construction made up of two legs and two erectile tissues. In its full glory, it looks something like the picture above.
2. What the clitoris has to do with orgasm
As the mood heats up, blood flows into the corpora cavernosa and – surprise, surprise – they swell. This causes the area around the labia to become erogenous and the urethra to become blocked (in case you've always wondered if you can/need to pee during sex).
In general, the sensitive clitoris plays a major role in a woman’s orgasm -
Whether during sex or masturbation.
The difference between a vaginal and clitoral orgasm refers to the way in which stimulation leads to a climax. It is important to note that orgasms can be experienced differently by each individual woman, and not all women experience exclusively a clitoral or vaginal orgasm. Many women experience a combination of both or have other types of orgasms.
A clitoral orgasm occurs through direct stimulation of the clitoris , the highly sensitive area above the vagina. The clitoris contains a high concentration of nerve endings and is therefore an extremely erogenous zone. Clitoral stimulation can occur through touch, friction, or oral stimulation. A clitoral orgasm is often described as an intense, pulsating sensation that spreads to the clitoris and surrounding areas.
A vaginal orgasm, on the other hand, is often associated with penetration . It is believed that stimulating certain areas within the vagina, such as the G-spot or the deep anterior vaginal wall, can lead to a vaginal orgasm. A vaginal orgasm is often described as a deeper, wave-like sensation that spreads throughout the vaginal and pelvic floor area.
Many experts now assume that the clitoris plays at least a role in all orgasms.

3. Clitoris vs. penis - same same but different
Anyone who has looked closely at the graphic and read carefully where the clitoris is will have already noticed something: the glans, foreskin and two testicular-shaped erectile tissue - somehow a lot of this sounds like a penis. And actually - that's no coincidence. The clitoris only develops from around the 8th week of pregnancy.
Before this, the embryos look the same. The clitoris and penis therefore have the same origin and are the respective pleasure centers . Oh yeah!
Conclusion: When it comes to the clitoris, it's small (at least on the outside) but definitely impressive! Your question about "Where is the clitoris" should now be answered. In general, we should definitely pay more attention to this pearl, it will surely return the favor.
