The clitoris!
is the center of sexual arousal in the female.
It contains a high concentration of nerve endings
and is exquisitely sensitive to stimulation!
especially at the tip of its shaft, the glans clitoridis.
A fold of skin
called the clitoral hood
covers the glans when the clitoris is not
engorged!

can we post pictures? or even the one of skin from skunk anansie with 'clit rock' written on her forehead?

Where can I get one and how do I care for it afterwards?

Mmmm... engorged....

I'm sorry, what were we talking about again?

to my clit:

thank you for
all of your nerve endings
and giving me a different pleasurable feeling depending on how you're touched
and thanks for all the orgasms.

ps: i love you.

Tony Montana

I love your clit too.

Now look, everybody should take this lesson seriously. First try to find one small built woman. Get her to strip and notice how small her vagina is. If you're good, use you big size fingers to feel for her small size cle-toris. Hopr you can find it. Good luck! If not, you'll have better luck learning how to grow and harvest seaweed.

My clitoris has a special embossed cover and was released in a signed, numbered and pre-Mylar bagged limited edition by...

Hmm, doesn't really work, this.

I'm definitely a big fan. Although there are other items in close congruity which deserve almost an equal measure of fanmail.

I've just read the thread through and I'm a little concerned by some of the responses. Or am I being a crusty old git?

Nick: no, and this is precisely why Barbelith should become a woman-only site.

This thread could profitably cross with the fantasy buttons thread:

I want a button I can press and have an orgasm.

Oh, wait, I have one.

I was really chuffed when I discovered that the clitoris is actually six inches long & is like an "internal penis", tastefully tucked away, because now I feel like my genitalia are pleasantly non-gender-specific. But I'm not sure whether that makes me male-identified (in the bad sense.)

The bad thing is that doctors occasionally cut through bits of the clitoris while carrying out sterilizations, hysterectomies & other operations in the vicinity, because female anatomy is sometimes not taught properly. Then they write papers on how actually the womb is necessary for women to have sexual pleasure. Bah.

indeed.

Sax

14:37 / 19.04.02

Six inches long? What do you mean, "like a penis"?

Shortfatdyke

14:43 / 19.04.02

i've heard a penis is just an inside out version of a clit.

that

14:56 / 19.04.02

Only with fewer nerve endings. Apparently.

gridley

16:16 / 19.04.02

But how do you pronounce your clitoris?

I've always liked rhyming the first two syllables with "glitter."

Some people insist on rhyming the second syllable with "door" and then putting all the emphasis on it.

When they really don't seem to like the clitoris, they'll overpronouce the both the second and third syllable and make it sound like some chemical that can dissolve bedrock.

Cat Chant

08:06 / 20.04.02

sax - according to kooky's link, nine inches long! Woo-hoo!

It's basically a long, cylindrical type (?? I think) organ - as I say, like a penis - but has the good sense to be tucked neatly away inside the body where no-one can hurt it. The bit of the clitoris you can see is actually just the very, very tip. One theory is that the "G-spot" is a point in the vagina where the clitoris, when erect, is very close to the vaginal wall - so yah boo sucks to Freud, the "vaginal" orgasm is a clitoral orgasm all along! Hah!

Thanks for the links, kooky, I have a great new word.

If it's truly analogous to the penis, then the volume of spongiosum tissue presumably varies between individuals.

As regards the whole 'inside out' argument, I've got the option of seeing some of this first-hand: now I'm working more closely with transsexual men and women, I've been invited to attend theatre to see various gender reassignment surgical procedures. Still not decided whether or not I want to go...

Sax

10:39 / 20.04.02

Bizarre magazine ran a step-by-step photo feature of a male-to-female op a while ago. Looked gruesome, but I'd go and watch the real thing if I were you, providing you can stomach it. Try not to clutch your tackle too much.

Ganesh

10:42 / 20.04.02

Oh, it's not that - I'm really not that squeamish - it's more the tedium. Surgical procedures go on for hours and hours and hours and it gets rather dull.

(Oddly enough, the one surgical op that really did get to me was the removal of an ingrowing toenail. The crack when they inserted something sharp and metallic under the nail and just prised it off...)

suds

10:48 / 20.04.02

yes, and in fact all babies are ladies untill the y chromosomes kick in and a dick starts to grow where the clit once was. yeah, we were all in the womb with clits.

i love my clitoris. that is all.

Cat Chant

If it's truly analogous to the penis, then the volume of spongiosum tissue presumably varies between individuals.

Yeah, but mine is nine inches long! Woo! And I have a better degree than Haus! Woo-hoo!

Ganesh

12:08 / 20.04.02

I bet you have a really great coat too...

Cat Chant

12:49 / 20.04.02

Yes, I do. And I know Kung Fu.

(Sorry, Cholister! I'll shut up now.)

alas

14:00 / 20.04.02

O Clitoris! O Clitoris! How lovely are thy branches!

As I understand it--from a lovely lecture recently by a sexologist--it is the ONLY organ designed exclusively for pleasure. It has TWICE as many nerve endings as the "male member" hehe. It is not just long but almost like a glove, it encircles parts of the vagina and extends back towards the anus.

Hail Glorious Clitoris!

Yes indeed it does vary in size and shape among women – there are big ones and small ones, round ones and long ones...

...It's all good.

So why can girls have multiple orgasms and boy can't?

or does this have nothing to do with their hidden 9" cocks?

Not Here Still

17:40 / 20.04.02

[thread rot] I was given to understanding that men can have multiple orgasms, it is just a little harder (yes, very good) and you don't ejeculate.

Lionheart

17:48 / 20.04.02

Hello, Sarah. Any messages?

Well, Mr. Weisley called. Your 6 o'clock appointment has been canceled. Oh, and Clitoris called. It seems you've rubbed her the wrong way.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

eh, i'm funny.

Cherry Bomb

22:03 / 20.04.02

Yes alas you have touched on something that I dearly love about the clitoris. How fucking cool is it to have an organ that is SPECIFICALLY designed for pleasure?!!??!!! Yee-HA! Neat!

I'm a "glitter-us" girl, myself. But I think I prefer the word "clit."
