Where is my clitoris?
Ever wondered about the clitoris? This tiny but mighty part of the vula-holders anatomy holds the key to unlocking incredible pleasure. Yet, for many, it remains a mystery.
Whether you're curious about finding your own clitoris or helping your partner discover theirs, this guide will provide you with all the information you need. Let's dive into the world of clitoral stimulation and explore the endless possibilities for pleasure.
What does the clitoris look like?
Fun fact: due to its high concentration of nerve endings, the clitoris is highly sensitive - even more than any other part of the body! If only people knew where to find it, right? But before we go there, it’s time to reveal some more must-knows to impress your friends (or partner) with.
The clitoris is a complex, fascinating structure, often likened to an iceberg. Why? Because there's much more to it than meets the eye…
External parts of the clitoris
The outside of a clitoris is often described as a small, pea-sized nub located at the top of the vulva where the inner labia meet. However, its appearance can vary greatly. The clitoral glans, which is the visible part, can be tucked under the clitoral hood like a pearl in an oyster shell.
Both the clitoral glans and its hood come in various sizes, shapes, and even colours, typically reflecting the overall hue of your genital area. But here's where it gets interesting: the clitoris is quite the dynamic character. During moments of arousal, it undergoes a transformation, enlarging and becoming more sensitive. She’s not one to shy away.
Internal parts of the clitoris
What a lot of people don’t know is that, internally, the clitoris is a large and intricate organ. It includes the clitoral 'legs' or crura, which surround the vaginal canal, and the vestibular bulbs, in between the cruca and the vaginal wall.
These internal parts, though hidden from view, play a crucial role in sensory experience. When you are aroused, the clitoris becomes engorged with blood, enhancing sensitivity throughout the entire area. So, while the external gland is the star of the show, the internal clitoris is the unsung hero behind the scenes!
Where is the clit located?
Ever wondered, 'Where on earth is my clitoris?' You're not alone! The clitoris, both internally and externally, is located at the top of the vulva where the inner labia meet. However, finding it can be a bit of a treasure hunt.
The external part, or glans, can vary greatly in size and visibility. Some women can easily locate it, while others may need to explore a bit more. Remember, there's no 'right' way to look or feel, and everyone's body is unique.
3 tips on how to find the clitoris
If you’re wondering where to start, here are three tips to guide you through:
-
Explore the full area: Begin by gently exploring the upper part of the vulva with your fingers, focusing on where the inner labia meet. Move around the area - left, right, up, and down - until you find that small, sensitive nub
- Be gentle. The clitoris is incredibly sensitive, so being gentle is key. Experiment with different strokes and rhythms to discover what feels best. Pay attention to your body's reactions, as they'll guide you to the perfect spot
- Communicate with your partner: When exploring the clitoris with a partner, open and honest communication is essential. Talk about what feels good and what doesn't. Sharing your preferences can help both of you enjoy the experience more. Remember, it's okay to be a little hesitant at first. The more you communicate and experiment, the more comfortable you'll become.
Tips on how to stimulate the clitoris
Discovering where the clit is located is a skill in itself, but learning how to stimulate it is just as important. Whether you're going it solo or heading to town with a partner, there are different things to look out for.
Stimulating your own clitoris
When it comes to masturbation techniques for women and others with a vulva, remember, you're in control of your own pleasure. Start by creating a comfortable, relaxed environment for yourself. Gently explore the area with your fingers, experimenting with different pressures and motions. You might find that circular movements, gentle rubbing, or even a light pulsing pressure work best for you. Each day can bring a new preference, so be patient and attentive to your body's responses. Explore the use of lube and experiment with clitoral stimulation toys. Stay curious and open to your body's changing needs and desires.
Stimulating someone else’s clitoris
When stimulating your partner's clitoris, communication and connection are key. Make sure the atmosphere is intimate, a space in which you both feel comfortable. Use gentle strokes with your fingers or tongue, and pay close attention to your partner's reactions. Ask them what feels good, and be open to their feedback.
Remember, everyone's clitoris is unique, so it might take some experimentation to find what works best. Be patient, communicate openly, and be willing to adjust your technique to create a shared experience of pleasure and intimacy. And most importantly: ask for consent!
The right tools for clitoris stimulation
Sometimes, a little extra help can help take things to the next level. Sex toys like vibrators can add a whole new dimension to your sexual experiences. They offer a whole variety of sensations, which you can customise to your pleasure. From gentle vibrations to intense pulses, there's something for everyone. Have fun discovering what works best for you!

Are the female g-spot and the clitoris the same?

How big is the clitoris?
The size of the clitoris can vary from person to person, but it's much more than just the small external part that's visible.

How to find my partner’s clitoris?
Finding your partner's clitoris involves gentle exploration. Start by locating the top of the vulva, where the inner labia meet. This is where the external part of the clitoris, the glans, is usually situated, often under the clitoral hood. Every person's body is different, so the clitoris might be more or less prominent depending on the individual. Use light, exploratory touches and pay attention to your partner's reactions to find what feels best for them. Open communication and consent are key, so ask for feedback and be responsive to their guidance.
