What is it? Where is it?
A clitoris is the feel-good, and most sensitive erogenous zone of the female body. Its sole purpose is to enable you to experience sexual pleasure. You can only see a small part of the clitoris, as the majority of it is internal.
This sensitive little gland is part of the vulva, the name for the external parts of female genitalia and is protected by the clitoral hood and is located above the urethral opening.
The small pea sized glan of the clitoris, is connected to the clitoral body and then branches out and around the vulva and is shaped like a wishbone. The clitoris splits in half to form the paired crura, these are like the “legs” of the clitoris, and vestibular bulbs. These bulbs extend through and behind the labia, passing by the urethra, vaginal canal, and towards the anus.
The bulbs and crura contain a complex network of erectile tissue and nerves, that swell with blood during sexual arousal. By swelling on either side of the vaginal canal, they increase lubrication in the vagina, while increasing sexual stimulation and sensation.
Your clitoris has a single purpose, to enable you to experience sexual pleasure, so understanding what kinds of touch feel good can improve your sex life. Stimulating your clit can make you feel sexually aroused. It can heighten feelings of sexual tension until you climax. Even if you don’t have an orgasm, the sensations from a stimulated clitoris usually feel good.
Everybody reaches orgasm differently. Experiment with masturbation or sex positions and have patience, with practice you will figure out what works best for you. Tell your partner what feels good and what doesn’t.
Experimenting with sex toys can also be lots of fun, either alone or with your partner. Vibrators come in a huge variety of shapes and sizes, they also have different vibrations. You may like a fast buzz or maybe a low rumble is more your style.
If you’re a busy girl and have things to do, you may want to try an air pulse vibrator, these deliver an amazing sensation directly to the clitoris and you may find you will climax more quickly this way, and then enjoy your day with a smile on your face!
Using a good quality personal lubricant will also heighten the pleasure. Warming or cooling lubricants can add another dimension to your sex play.
No matter how you stimulate your clitoris, just remember that it’s all about feeling good, and everyone should feel good now and again.
