This is one area of a woman’s body that needs special attention in both understanding and handling. Although very small, the clitoris is a very potent part of our anatomy. While we all have one, we don't all know what to do with it. So let’s try to learn what’s what.

The clitoris is at the center top or tip of the female genitals or vulva. The clitoris hood conceals the clitoral glans and shaft. The hood, also know the foreskin, can sometimes be pulled slightly back to view the clitoris glans and shaft.

You may have heard the clitoris referred to as the woman’s penis or mini penis. This is due to the swelling and hardness that occurs when the clitoris is excited. I personally like to think of this as my own little hard-on. ;) And my partner loves to see me like that. I’m sure yours will too.

Anyway, grab a mirror and take a look at your hot button. Very impressive isn’t it? Don’t be alarmed if you can’t locate your clit or every part of it. Take your time. We’re all originals, even down there. The vulva can connect in many different patterns so if you can’t see your clitoris, rely on the feel. The clitoris has an amazing relationship with several different nerve endings throughout your body.


Now I hope when you checked out your clitoris, you actually took the initiative and massaged the area. If you did, great! If not, get to it. Relax and investigate. By gently caressing the top cleft of your vulva, you may locate your clitoris by finding your most sensitive spot. During your self examination you might gently pinch or pluck at your clitoral glans or hood, then try massaging your clitoral shaft in circular motion. Don’t be surprised if your clitoris starts to reach an erect form, this should only enhance your orgasm.

The most vital of all knowledge is to experiment with different pressures and strokes. You might like to add a water-based lubricant. This gives you the added bonus of feeling both different temperatures and textures as you explore. You might also try rubbing one side of your clitoris at a time. You might find you have a favorite side.

Now, we should warn you, that the sensitively of your clitoris’ varies from day to day, kind of like your moods. The clitoris may like one thing one day and something completely different the next day. Don’t lose hope; it all works in the end.

Once you get to know your clitoris, the only organ made for pure pleasure, you’ll wonder why you didn’t hear all about the clit sooner!
