What is sometimes called “the button of happiness” is said to be the most sensitive part of a woman’s body. The clitoris is indeed the female organ whose sole function is related to pleasure. What a wonderful role! The official discovery of the clitoris and its characteristics is credited to the Italian physician Realdo Colombo in the 17th century. Since then, several studies have helped us better understand its role and main attributes. Spotlight on the clitoris!
The clitoris is located at the intersection and top of the labia minora. It is not immediately visible, since it is also protected by the labia majora. The clitoris is an erectile body, just like the penis, meaning that it hardens and lengthens when stimulated. The visible part of the clitoris represents only a small part of the organ. In fact, up to 9 centimeters of the clitoris are not visible and are internal. When stimulated and aroused, its internal part may potentially be responsible for vaginal orgasm. Scientists do not all agree on this point, but during penetration, friction from the penis may stimulate the internal part of the clitoris and lead to vaginal orgasm.
It is said that there are as many ways to stimulate the clitoris as there are women. Some prefer caresses directly on it, while others would rather be touched all around it. Some women want stronger and more intense stimulation, while others enjoy gentler, more delicate caresses. That is why you should not hesitate to guide your partner when they caress your button of happiness. And if you feel comfortable, why not demonstrate how you would like to be touched and caressed? Besides ensuring that you receive the caresses you want and that will arouse you, we bet your partner will be unable to sit still during your demonstration…! Furthermore, gentlemen, know that during masturbation, women are said to need only 4 minutes on average to reach orgasm. This is why it is important to make sure you know how to touch and caress your partner’s clitoris in order to increase sexual arousal.
The glans of the clitoris contains 10,000 nerve endings, making it highly sensitive to caresses. By comparison, the penis has 400 nerve endings. A clitoral orgasm lasts an average of 20 to 30 seconds and is therefore, unsurprisingly, more intense than a man’s. During orgasm, it will contract involuntarily between 3 and 15 times, thereby intensifying the sensations.
Finally, for the bravest among you, it seems that having a clitoral piercing provides additional stimulation during masturbation and sexual intercourse. Would you be willing to go ahead?
