It is part of the female genital organs, only a small part of the "head" is visible, located in the vulva near the junction of the labia minora, above the vaginal opening. It is an organ formed by the corpus cavernosum, a tissue rich in nerve endings (approximately 8,000).
During sexual intercourse, the clitoris enlarges as the corpus cavernosum fills with blood, similar to the penis in men.
The clitoris has more functions than just pleasure itself, another function is that during conception, by stimulating it, a woman reaches orgasm, thereby accelerating the enzymatic processes during fertilization (of course, a person can get pregnant even without orgasm).
Another function is during childbirth, it actually serves as a cushion for the baby's head, while clitoral stimulation and orgasm during childbirth have calming effects.
The female clitoris is developmentally identical to the male penis, meaning that in the embryonic state it comes from the same tissue that would form the penis, which is why we cannot determine the sex of a child until the 15th-17th week, when hormones either develop the vagina, vulva and clitoris or the penis and testicles.
Its main task is to induce sexual arousal and orgasm.
Did you know that the clitoris can also be stimulated internally, inside the vagina towards the pubic symphysis there is the G-spot (stimulation of the clitoris from the inside).
