You’ve got to love the clitoris because its only function is to provide you with pleasure. In fact, this is the only organ in humans that exists only for pleasure. And having pleasure is important. When you have a clitoral orgasm, your body releases oxytocin, the feel-good hormone. When you don’t have enough oxytocin, you’ll feel stressed, which could lead to a host of health problems, such as obesity, headaches, depression and anxiety.
The head of the clitoris contains about 8,000 nerve fibers. This is more than anywhere else on the body and almost twice the amount as the nerve fibers on the head of the penis.
WHEN YOU’RE TURNED ON
When you’re sexually excited, the clitoris swells as it becomes engorged with blood. The vaginal lips also swell and open slightly, and the clitoral hood pulls back.
Your vagina begins to lubricate, and you can use this natural lubrication to stimulate your clitoris. You just need to rub your fingers under the clitoris to spread the lubrication up from the vagina to the clitoris.
SIZE VARIES
The size of the clitoris varies among women. Some are longer, and some are shorter. Some are thinner, and some are wider. Some are large and prominent, and some are difficult to find. And all of this is normal.
Hormonal changes also affect the size of the clitoris. A woman in her middle 30s can have a clitoris that is about four times larger than it was when she first entered puberty.
