The clitoris is a mobile organ. If you haven’t learned all about the science behind the internal clitoris, we encourage you to read more here.
Luckily, we’ve finally arrived at a crossroads, where technology, science, a person’s right to pleasure, and human curiosity collide. More research is being done, despite the fact that for too long, the scientific and medical communities have neglected to study this organ to the extent in which they’ve studied the penis.
Alas, we can’t help but ponder: how much further along would our medical research and knowledge on human sexuality would be, if female orgasm was a requirement for conception?
With regards to what has historically been referred to as “female sexuality”, how might the cultural narrative be different around pleasure, sexuality, & the body of someone with a clitoris, if having children were dependent on achieving orgasm?
We are beyond delighted to share these 3-D animations of the internal clitoris with you.
The above video shows the internal clitoris (the structure in two shades of purple) being stimulated. Notice the urethra and bladder in yellow, the vagina in pink, and the nerve bundle in blue. Important to note, every clitoris varies in terms of nerve bundles, sensitivity, and structure. Therefore, what works for one person may not necessarily work for another.
Pictured above, the stimulated internal clitoris during penetration. Notice how it undulates around the vagina.
CLIT DISCO!
*The Center for Erotic Intelligence recognizes and celebrates the fact that people have diverse gender identities. We strive to use gender-inclusive language in publications, literature, and research. In some instances, CEI uses the words “woman” and “female” to describe patients or individuals whose sex assigned at birth was female, whether they identify as female, male, or non-binary. In the case of this article, the word female is used in “female sexuality” to highlight the historical imbalance of research on bodies of people who have a clitoris vs. bodies of people who have a penis. When describing or referencing study populations used in research, CEI will use the gender terminology reported by the study investigators.
