The clitoris is an erectile organ entirely dedicated to pleasure. Its visible part, the glans, sits at the top of the vulva, where the inner labia meet. But most of the clitoris is internal: its roots and corpora cavernosa extend several centimeters along either side of the vagina. It contains a very large number of nerve endings, which makes it an especially sensitive area. During arousal, it fills with blood and increases in volume. Getting to know its anatomy often helps you explore its sensitivity with more confidence and curiosity.
