There's more
to the clitoris than meets the eye. Much more. Don't mistake
the hooded crown (the "glans" or "head") for the entire clitoris.
As we will discuss, the head is just the tip of the iceberg,
a tantalizing allusion to unseen wells of pleasure.
Like a Greek column, the clitoris has three
components—— a head, a shaft, and a base——
that extend throughout the pelvic area, with visible structures
encompassing the entire area of the vulva, from the top of
the pubic bone down to the anus, as well as unseen parts inside
the vaginal area. In their landmark work, A New View of
a Woman's Body: A Fully Illustrated Guide, the Federation
of Feminist Women's Health Centers identified 18 structures
in the clitoral network, some visible, some hidden.
With more than 8000 nerve fibers the clitoris
has more of these than any other part of the human body and
interacts with the 15,000 nerve fibers that service the entire
pelvic area. This vast erogenous landscape literally throbs
with potential pleasure.
