It remains debated if female orgasms, and therefore the clitoris, serve a direct reproductive function, such as inducing vaginal expansion that aids conception.

That’s how many sensory nerve endings are in the glans of the clitoris alone — double the number that a penis has. The sensations that those nerve endings trigger build and build upon themselves, spreading to a network of up to 15,000 nerve endings throughout the pelvic region. It’s no wonder the female climax can be so mind-blowing.

People have known about its existence for thousands of years. For example, mentions of the clitoris show up in ancient Greek, Persian, and Arabic writings. However, only recently have experts taken a deeper look at clitoral anatomy. Today we know the clit isn’t just a tiny bump outside the body, but a larger structure under the surface.

Informally, people only think of the clit as its external parts, the clitoral glans and hood, situated north of the urethra. However, most of the organ lies invisibly under the skin. The wishbone-shaped internal structure of the clit envelops the urethra on the way up and reaches the top of the vagina and it also threads through the labia.

The origin of the word is unclear. It could derive from the Greek words for “key” or “hill,” which sound similar. It may be shaped kind of like a hill, but one thing we know for sure is that attention paid to this tiny organ is definitely key to good sex.

The clitoris is not literally a small version of the penis, though they do have many similarities. They start as the same nub of tissue in an embryo, then the presence or absence of certain hormones cause this nub to form into a penis or a clit. Both the clit and penis are important for sexual arousal and can become engorged when you’re turned on. But that’s where some of the similarities end. The clit’s erectile tissue is mainly located inside the body. In fact, you can stimulate the clitoris without directly touching the pearl-shaped glans on the surface. The penis also functions for urination and insemination, while the clit doesn’t.
