The clit had previously been clocked, but it wasn't thoroughly mapped until 1998 by a Melbourne urologist.

Previously, people only referred to the clitoris as the visible component, but there is a complex structure underneath the membrane that is as significant. Helen O'Connell, an Australian urologist (hey, home-grown pioneer), discovered the whole function of the clitoris and its many nerve endings, further informing the medical sector, academics, therapists, sex educators, and masturbators. The clitoris contains 2-3 times more nerve endings than the penis and is the most sensitive part of the vulva. Given that individuals with clits identify as women, non-binary, masculine, fluid, or other identities, we always refer to them as vulva-owners, because the lowly clit is only one - albeit an essential - component of the vulva. For persons who have vaginas, the vulva is an important portion of their external genitalia.

The clitoris is the hub of the pleasure universe, and there is so much information that many vulva owners, much alone penis owners, do not understand.

CLITERAL FUN FACTS!

For vulva owners, the clitoris is the bodily part most closely connected with pleasure and orgasm.
The clitoris contains both exterior and internal components. In case you were wondering, both can be aroused.
The glans clitoris and clitoral hood, sometimes known as the visible portions, consist of a pea-sized structure that lies above the urethra (where you urinate) and is covered by a clitoral hood that can be peeled back. The hood is the lengthy section of your vulva that you can see, while the glans clitoris is the very sensitive region hidden under the hood.
The clitoral body, vestibular bulbs, and crura, or the components you can't see, are positioned behind the vulva. They separate under the clitoral hood, forming four leg-like structures surrounding the urethra and vaginal entrance. The bulbs are formed of spongy erectile tissue that swells when you are stimulated.

Personally, our fave clitoris fact is that as you get turned on, the internal structure and clitoral hood expand. So you effectively become hard, exactly like a penis owner does.

Moving ahead, feel free to use the phrase "I just got hard/soft/my clitoris is swelling"; it makes sense. This swelling increases lubrication (wetness), which significantly improves sensation when stimulated.

The revelation of the clitoris' full autonomy (both internal and external) significantly altered our perspective on the vulva's pleasure circuits. Vaginal orgasms, particularly those caused by "G-spot" stimulation (the ribbed area 3-5cm inside the vagina, on your belly side - insert your finger and bend it towards your belly to find it), should be referred to as clitoral orgasms, because your "G-spot" is actually the back of the internal part of the clitoris. So, certainly, this signifies the end of "the G-spot" as a structure. It is actually just your internal clitoris.

While we're correcting facts, let's talk about the continuing argument between clit versus vaginal orgasms. A lot of my straight, female-identifying clients stress to me how they can’t orgasm from penetrative sex. This kind of orgasm is actually only possible for around 30% of vulva owners, yet so many come to me with this desire. We cannot blame them. Because pleasure for vulva owners has historically and consistently been under-represented, the celebration of vaginal orgasms is easily connected to patriarchy. Penis owners often like penetrative sex, thus it's been a curiously handy norm for vulva owners to seek vaginal orgasms. Rather of trusting their bodies, which would normally lead them to prioritise clit stimulation and hence clitoral orgasms, many vulva owners have elevated vaginal orgasms to a pedestal.

Misconceptions like as this one, that P-in-V orgasms are not only possible but also the norm, have contributed to the orgasm gap. That is, the difference in obtaining orgasm between the sexes, especially during partnered sex. It's 95% for penis owners (go off, kings!) but just 65% for vulva owners (boo hoo!!!). That's a huge disparity.

So, remember, the clit is the major character; if we can reprioritise its relevance, we could finally see a significant difference in the metrics.

HOW TO PLEASURE THE CLITORIS

Now that we have the facts clear, we can go on to the fun part. While there are many techniques to please your clit, there are a few that we always recommend.

FINGER PLAY

You can stimulate the external clitoris with your fingertips. Tap softly with your index finger over your clitoral hood and down your outer labia - this is an excellent method to stimulate your entire clitoral structure and is ideal for getting things started. You may also massage it by placing your entire palm over your clit and labia (similar to how your hand sits over a computer mouse) and rotating your hand in a circular motion. Alternatively, softly massage the labia with your thumb.

People frequently forget that fingering your clit entails much more than just placing fingers on the hood; there is an entire internal and exterior structure to work with.

In terms of clitoral hood stimulation, consider clitoral wanking, which involves placing your fingers on each side of your clitoral hood and gently lifting it up and down. From here, you may experiment by sliding your fingertips up and down the length of the hood. Try slow motions, increasing as needed. It's all quite hot and will seem like a bit of a tease because you're not directly contacting your hood; instead, you're surrounded on both sides. Try a come hither motion, which involves running your fingers along the length of the stiff piece of skin inside the vagina. This is the "g-spot" place we were talking about.

Rub your fingers slowly over the length of that patch, as if you were beckoning someone to approach you. You may also use your fingers to push down in pulses on the region, changing the pace and depth of each pulse as desired. Another wonderful one is to draw figure 8s on your G-spot, which will show your entire region some love. And for added fingering excitement, try the internal stimulation while using one of the previously listed vulva points.

Using toys for clitoral stimulation.

Do not forget that you may also utilise toys. The most common types of toys include air suction toys, vibrators, and solid metal or glass.

Air Suction Toys
Air suction devices are ideal for folks who have difficulty orgasming. They function by sucking blood behind your clit. This rush of blood to your genitals, also known as engorgement, is a normal process that occurs when you become aroused and have an orgasm. You may use this toy by putting it over your clit and altering the vibration mode or strength to your preference.

Vibrators

The classic. If you enjoy vibrators, there are several alternatives available, and the benefit is that they generally double up to stimulate your nipples, vagina, and, with proper cleanliness, your anus as well. You can utilise a vibe by sliding it down your labia, pulsating on your clitoral hood, or, if the toy permits, stimulating the rear of the clit (the "g-spot") from within your vagina. I recommend starting with a modest vibration and gradually increasing the intensity.

Glass or metal wands

There are also a variety of solid toys, such as metal and glass wands. These toys generally have weight to them, making them ideal for stroking the labia and clitoral hood. The weight makes it feel more lifelike and increases the intensity of the sensation. Because these materials may be heated or cooled, you can also experiment with temperature play, which adds an enjoyable sensory aspect to clit stimulation. Whether it's an ice, chilling effect or a pinching, hot one, it creates a contrast with your body temperature, allowing you to feel the feeling more strongly.

So now there are no excuses. Begin focussing your clit, utilising its ability for wonderful orgasms, informing your penis-owning rivals about it, and subtly, or not so discreetly, telling everyone the clit is where it's at.
