Reasons why the clitoris is referred to as the gateway to sexual arousal

In our increasingly digital world, intercouse and female body image are often misrepresented. Yet, intercouse makes people happy and plays an important role in social bonding as well as mental and physical health.

In this article and inline with a publication on Medicalnewstoday, We are going to look at the reasons why the clitoris is referred to as the gateway to sexual arousal. Keep on reading and explore new knowledge.

While many people think that the clitoris is a small spot just above the female genital opening, it is, in fact, a much larger complex. The part most visible is the glans, which is 16 millimeters in length, on average. This is the part that most people will be familiar with.

The glans is covered by the prepuce, which is a skin formed from the genital labia. Some people liken the prepuce to foreskin. Hidden inside the pubic bone is the rest of the clitoris, and the entire complex is similar in shape to the male genital, with a total length of between 9 and 11 centimeters.

The clitoris is a female genital stretching organ and is thought to be at the heart of female sexual arousal.

In a 2015 review published in the journal Clinical Anatomy, Dr. Rachel N. Pauls, from the Divisions of Female Pelvic Floor Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery at TriHealth/Good Samaritan Hospital in Cincinnati, OH describes the clitoris as “the centre for orgasmic response.”

The clitoris is highly innervated, with the densest concentration of nerve fibres found in the glans. These nerve fibres respond to stimulation by causing swelling of the stretching tissues of the clitoris.

The clitoris is not the only part of the female love making organs that can lead to arousal, according to some. The mysterious G-spot, said to be located inside the female genital, has been equally credited.
