The clitoris is the only organ in the human body whose sole functionis pleasure. In other words, the clitoris was built for orgasm. The tipof the clitoris is the round nub right above the meeting point of theinner labia. It is protected by a little fold of skin, or hood, whichis a good thing, because there are 6,000 to 8,000 nerve endings in theclit, and even a light touch is usually felt rather intensely. As withthe penis, the clitoris is composed of erectile tissue and gets biggerand harder when a woman is turned on. A lot of women prefer their clitstouched through the clitoral hood.
The visible nub of the clit, called the glans, is just the tip ofthe iceberg. The clitoris continues on from the exposed tip, primarilyin the form of two clitoral legs which stretch back beneath the labiaon either side of the vaginal opening. There are significant areas oferectile tissue, muscles, nerves and blood vessels which are part ofthe complex organ which responds to sexual tension and resolves inorgasm.
Most women orgasm from stimulation of the clitoris, but they varygreatly in terms of the stimulation they prefer. Vibrators, with theirimpressive range of intensities, offer an ideal way to experiment withclitoral stimulation.
