The Wonderful World of Clit

In a far away kingdom, that no one understood, live Queen Clitoris up under a hood 

How much do you know about the clitoris? 

If I'm being honest, I didn't know much about the clit until the last couple of years. 

Of course I stumbled upon clitoral masturbation as a young teenager but didn't have my first orgasm with a partner for another 10 years.  It took me until I was 27 to use a vibrator correctly. So even sex bloggers have a lot to learn and experience. 

The clitoris has more nerve endings than anywhere else on the body, approximately 8,000, which is double the amount that the penis has

It's the only part of the human body whose sole purpose is pleasure. Beneath the visible pink button, called the glans, lies a wishbone-shaped structure comprising a shaft, which extends about an inch up toward the pubic bone, and two 3*inch arms called crura that reach down and back toward the pelvic bone in an inverted V shape. Though the shaft and crura send pleasure signals to the brain during sex, the glans is more sensitive. That's why it has a hood — without it, a pair of tight jeans would send your nervous system into overdrive.

Two bulbs of erectile tissue run alongside the crura. Many experts believe that this tissue is part of the clitoris too. Studies found that the clitoris is also connected to erectile tissue surrounding the urethra and extending up to the front wall of the vagina — where the enigmatic G-spot has been known to pop up.

The Clitoris is the Queen of orgasms but heading straight to the clitoris gives you a less pleasurable orgasm than if your partner touches, gentle strokes, or massages other parts of your genitals before traveling to the epicenter. The more vocal you are about the speed, intensity, and pressure you prefer, the better the end result will be. 

Unlike a man’s penis, your clitoris can maintain most of its blood supply after an orgasm. Although you may experience a little sensitivity immediately post-O, you can have plenty of multiple orgasmspretty quickly because you’re physically still right at the point of no return.

Like any other part of your body, the clitoris should be stimulated in a way that creates blood flow in and out to keep it healthy. Although chances are very low, lack of blood flow to the clitoris could potentially cause clitoral atrophy. Keep your blood pumping with plenty of sex, masturbation, arousal, and orgasms. Better safe than sorry!
