The one we call “the happiness button” is said to be the most sensitive part of a woman’s body. The clitoris is in fact the female organ whose only function is linked to pleasure. What a great role! We owe the official discovery of the clitoris and its particularities to the Italian doctor Realdo Colombo, in the 17th century. Since that time, several research studies have provided a better understanding of its role and its main attributes. Spotlight on the clitoris!
The clitoris is located at the intersection and apex of the labia minora. It is not immediately visible, since it is also protected by the labia majora of the vagina. The clitoris is an erectile body in the same way as the penis, that is to say 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 excited, its internal part would potentially be responsible for vaginal orgasm. Scientists do not all agree on the question, but during penetration, the friction of the penis would 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 to be done directly on it while others prefer to be touched all around. Some women want stronger and more intense stimulation, while others like softer and more delicate caresses. This is why you should not hesitate to direct your partner when he or she caresses your happy button. And if you're more comfortable, why not demonstrate to him how you would like to be touched and caressed? In addition to ensuring you receive the caresses you want and which will excite you, we can bet that your partner will no longer hold still during your demonstration...! Also gentlemen, know that during masturbation, it is said that it only takes a woman 4 minutes on average before reaching orgasm. Hence the importance of making sure you know how to touch and caress your partner's clitoris, in order to increase sexual arousal.
The glans of the clitoris is made up of 10,000 nerve endings, which makes it very sensitive to caresses. For comparison, the penis has 400 nerve endings. The clitoral orgasm lasts on average between 20 and 30 seconds and is therefore, unsurprisingly, more intense than that of a man. During orgasm, it will contract involuntarily between 3 and 15 times, thus accentuating the sensations.
Finally, for the bravest of all, it would seem that having a piercing in the clitoris would offer additional stimulation during masturbation and sexual relations. Would you be ready to move forward?
