Clitoris Location Images - The clitoris is a female sexual organ present in mammals, ostriches and a limited number of other animals. It is the female variant of the penis, though generally does not contain the distal portion or opening of the urethra so, unlike the penis, urination does not take place through it. In humans, the visible button-like portion is near the front junction of the labia minora (inner lips), above the opening of the urethra.
The spotted hyena has a particularly well-developed clitoris, and is the only species in which the female urinates, mates and gives birth via the clitoris. Other carnivorous animals, and some mammals such as apes, rabbits, and spider monkeys, also have a well-developed clitoris.
The clitoris develops from an outgrowth in the embryo called the genital tubercle. Initially undifferentiated, it develops into either a p3nis or a clitoris, depending on the presence or absence of the protein tdf, which is codified by a single gene on the Y chromosome.
The clitoris is a complex structure, the glans (head) of which is roughly the size and shape of a pea, and is estimated to have more sensory nerve endings than any other part of the human body. In humans, the clitoris is the female’s most sensitive erogenous zone and the primary source of female sexual pleasure. Its size and sensitivity can vary, and it has been the subject of extensive sociological, sexological and medical debate.
Discussions have focused primarily on anatomical accuracy, orgasmic factors and their physiological explanation for the G-Spot. Whether the clitoris is vestigial or serves a reproductive function has also been the subject of debate.
Social perceptions of the clitoris range from the significance of its role in female sexual pleasure, assumptions about its true size and depth, and varying beliefs regarding genital modification such as clitoris enlargement, clitoris piercing and clitoridectomy.
Genital modification may be for aesthetic, medical or cultural reasons. Cultural perceptions also impact on knowledge of the clitoris. Studies suggest that knowledge of its existence and anatomy is scant in comparison to that of other sexual organs, and that more education about it could help alleviate social stigmas associated with the female body and female sexual pleasure; for example, that the clitoris – and the vulva in general – are visually unappealing; that female masturbation is taboo; or that women’s orgasms are something that “men are expected to master and control
