Clitoris : how to take care of it?

The clitoris, this magical yet still misunderstood organ, deserves all our attention. Here are some reminders and a little guide to better understand and appreciate this king of pleasure.

What exactly is a clitoris ?

The term “clitoris” seems to come from ancient Greek “kleitoris”, which could be related to the verb “kleiô” meaning “to close”. Some think this origin refers to the hidden position of the clitoris, as if it were “closed” or concealed.

Another theory suggests a link with the Greek word “kleis”, which means “key”. This interpretation evokes the idea of the clitoris as the “key” to female pleasure.

Over time, the word was adopted in Latin and then in many modern languages, keeping a similar form. In English, we sometimes use the familiar diminutive “clit”.

It’s interesting to note that despite its importance, the clitoris was long neglected in everyday and medical language, reflecting social taboos around female sexuality.

The clitoris is much more than just a “magic button”. It’s a complex organ, dedicated solely to pleasure.

Its complete structure includes:

• An external glans (the visible part)
• An internal body and two “legs”
• Two vestibular bulbs

In total, it measures about 4 inches long, much more than one might imagine at first glance!

An ultra-sensitive organ

The clitoris isn’t just complex in its structure, it’s also incredibly sensitive. This organ is equipped with a multitude of nerve endings, making it a true pleasure center.

According to some studies, the clitoral glans alone would contain about 8,000 nerve endings. That’s more than any other part of the human body!

Where is it hiding?

The clitoral glans, its visible part, is located above the vaginal entrance, under the clitoral hood. But let’s not forget that it’s like an iceberg: the visible part is just the tip!

The rest of the clitoris extends inside the body, surrounding the vagina and urethra. This configuration explains why we can feel pleasure in different ways and in different places.

What the clitoris is not

Beware of misconceptions ! The clitoris is not :

• A mini-penis, even if they have the same embryonic origin
• An optional organ for female pleasure
• Something “dirty” or shameful

The clitoris is an organ in its own right, with its own anatomy and unique function dedicated to pleasure.

The clitoris, symbol of struggle

Clit has become a symbol of struggle for women’s equality and sexual freedom. “Dare the Clit” french movement, launched by the association Dare Feminism, aims to break taboos around the clitoris through street art actions.

These initiatives seek to educate the public about clitoral anatomy and denounce its invisibility in school textbooks.

By making this organ more visible, these activists hope to contribute to a better understanding of the female body and greater gender equality.

How to offer pleasure while respecting your partner?

The key to exploring clitoral pleasure in a respectful way lies in communication and listening above all:

Here are some tips:

• Communicate openly with your partner. Everyone is different, what pleases one may not please another.
• Take your time. The clitoris appreciates gentleness and patience. There’s no need to be rough or too insistent.
• Explore different techniques. You can try circular movements around the clitoris, alternate between up-and-down and left-to-right movements, play with applied pressure or suck with your mouth.
• Stay attentive to your partner’s reactions. If she expresses pleasure, continue on that path.
• Use a clitoral suction sex toy.
• Don’t forget the rest of the body. Pleasure isn’t limited to the clitoris. Explore other erogenous zones for a more global and intense experience.

Persistent clichés about female pleasure

“Women don’t like sex as much as men”

• This statement is false. Sexual desire varies from person to person, regardless of gender.

“Vaginal orgasm is superior to clitoral orgasm”

• There’s no hierarchy in pleasure. Moreover, vaginal stimulation often indirectly activates the clitoris.

“If she doesn’t come, she has a problem”

• Pleasure isn’t just about orgasm. Some people have an easier time reaching orgasm than others, and that’s perfectly normal.
