The importance of the clitoris
Saba® - Freedom to feel comfortable.
Let us stop ignoring the clitoris and instead give it the attention it deserves. Let us spread awareness about this important organ that plays a huge role in female pleasure!
The clitoris is all about sexual pleasure. It has puzzled scientists for centuries because they could not find any reproductive purpose. They thought pleasure had to come from vaginal stimulation instead. This led to a lot of myths and misunderstandings, like the mysterious G-spot, leaving many women frustrated in their search for it.
What exactly is the clitoris anyway?
The clitoris is a large and complex organ that goes several centimeters under the skin and can be stimulated from different angles, including indirectly, from inside the vagina.
The most effective route to achieve orgasm is through direct stimulation of the external part of the clitoris, known as the glans. While this visible area represents just the tip of the iceberg, in reality, the glans are part of a much more intricate structure that extends inwardly on both sides of the vaginal entrance.
When sexually aroused, the whole clitoris fills with blood and swells. The glands then 'pops out of its cap' and get bigger. The glans of the clitoris is the visible part above the vaginal opening and the urethra, covered by a skin cap called the foreskin. It is about 1 centimeter in size and has thousands of nerve endings.
The organ measures an average of 9 to 11 centimeters, and the glans measures at most 1 centimeter. Every woman has her glans, which are as different as any other body part.
Fun fact: One in four 15-year-old women are unaware of the existence of their clitoris.
