Clitoris

The clitoris is a sexual organ ? on a girl or woman. It's located in the vulva, towards the top, above the entrance to the vagina. The clitoris is a small little nub, but it has over 8 000 nerve endings (or a lot more). This is twice as many as the penis has.

The clitoris is usually the centre of a woman's sexual pleasure. Most women cannot get to orgasm without some stimulation ? to the clitoris. While not aroused, a clitoris has a little hood partially covering it. During sexual arousal the hood goes back and the clitoris is engorged a bit and comes out from under the hood.

The clitoris is the most sensitive sexual organ either men or women have. It is there only to bring pleasure, it has no use for reproduction.
