The clitoris is the homolog to the penis in the male. Similarly, the clitoris and its erection can subtly differ in size. [5] The visible part of the clitoris, the glans clitoris, varies in size from a few millimeters to one centimeter and is located at the front junction of the labia minora (inner lips), above the opening of the urethra.
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.
Clitoromegaly is a rare condition and can be either present by birth or acquired later in life. If present at birth, congenital adrenal hyperplasia can be one of the causes, since in this condition the adrenal gland of the female fetus produces additional androgens and the newborn baby has ambiguous genitalia which are not clearly male or female.

There are multiple reasons someone might want to enlarge their clitoris. For some, it is a personal aesthetic choice. People who believe that the size of their clitoris prevents adequate stimulation from sexual acts that can directly stimulate the clitoris, such as the coital alignment technique, may choose to enlarge the clitoris in the hope it will be easier to stimulate.
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.
