In amniotes, the clitoris (/ ˈ k l ɪ t ər ɪ s / ⓘ KLIT-ər-iss or / k l ɪ ˈ t ɔːr ɪ s / ⓘ klih-TOR-iss; pl.: clitorises or clitorides) is a female sex organ. [1] In humans, it is the vulva's most erogenous area and generally the primary anatomical source of female sexual pleasure. [2]
From ancient history to the modern day, the clitoris has been discredited, dismissed and deleted -- and women's pleasure has often been left out of the conversation entirely. Now, an underground art movement led by artist Sophia Wallace is emerging across the globe to challenge the lies, question the myths and rewrite the rules around sex and the female body.
In female humans and other mammals, [1] the clitoral hood (also called preputium clitoridis, clitoral prepuce, and clitoral foreskin) [2] is a fold of skin that surrounds and protects the glans of the clitoris; it also covers the external clitoral shaft, develops as part of the labia minora and is homologous with the foreskin (also called the prepuce) in the male reproductive system.
Clitoral erection (also known as clitoral tumescence or female erection) [1] [2] is a physiological phenomenon where the clitoris becomes enlarged and firm. Clitoral erection is the result of a complex interaction of psychological, neural, vascular, and endocrine factors, and is usually, though not exclusively, associated with sexual arousal .
Research indicates that the vestibular bulbs are more closely related to the clitoris than to the vestibule because of the similarity of the trabecular and erectile tissue within the clitoris and bulbs, and the absence of trabecular tissue in other genital organs, with the erectile tissue's trabecular nature allowing engorgement and expansion during sexual arousal.
