Clitorises are unfortunately a topic that few people know enough about—even women. In fact, it could be said that many people are il-clitorate. So here’s some basic facts that you need to know…

1. What The Clitoris Is
   The clitoris is a female sexual organ that is designed purely for our pleasure. Unlike the vagina or penis, the clitoris has no functional purpose other than sensitivity. ‘Yay’ for women right? Not only is it solely built for pleasure, the clitoris is a surprisingly large organ that can offer sexual stimulation, either alone or in concert with a number of other sexual stimulation points.
2. How Small Is It?
   It’s definitely not as small as you think! The rumour that the clitoris is small couldn’t be less true. In its entirety, a clit is around the same size as as a penis.If you’re thinking ‘yeah, right!’ …no seriously, its true. Think of the clitoris as an iceberg. Whilst only a tiny portion of it protrudes from the clitoral shield when it is stimulated, the entire gland is actually quite huge. Now, most of it can’t be stimulated, however the stimulatory reverberations from the part of the clitoris that’s exposed spread throughout the gland and connect to the rest of a woman’s sexual organs, a massive number of additional nerve endings, and the brain.
3. How to Find the Clitoris
   The clitoris isn’t as hard to find as society makes it seem. Simply trace the labia upwards. From there, look slightly inward, and you will see a small bump protruding from a retractable sheath. That is the ‘elusive’ clitoris.
4. Why Is It So Important?
   The clitoris has 8,000 nerve endings attached to it. To put that in perspective, the penis has just 4,000. But wait—there’s more! Not only does the clitoris have 8,000 nerve endings itself…it connects to well over 10,000 other nerve endings throughout the female pubic region. All these nerve endings combined turn it into a sexual-stimulation hurricane.
5. How Do You Stimulate the Clitoris?
   Oh, I’m soooo glad you asked! Well, with its 8,000 nerve endings, there is pretty much nothing you can do that won’t stimulate the clitoris. The only real concern with ‘how to stimulate the clitoris’, is to be careful not to over-stimulate it. Look for toys in our adult store that are designed specifically for the clitoris. Your partner’s finger or tongue will work extremely well too.

If you’re a woman, you probably already know where your clit is and if you don’t, then go find it right now! If you’re a man… first of all, kudos for reading this! Second, if you can learn to find and stimulate the clitoris, it will really up your game in bed. Oh, and men—don’t be shy about visiting our sex shop and buying a clitoris vibrator; it will offer you a great way to send her out of this world.
