Shocking Facts About A Clitoris That You Didn’t Know

It is the only part of the human body that never ages

An 80-year-old clit looks and works the same as a 20-year-old one. But it does keep growing – it could be 2.5 times as big in your 90s as it was in your teen years.

It is the only known body part with the sole purpose of pleasure

But one in 10 women has never had an orgasm – and most, at some point, will have “a hard time” reaching orgasm with a partner. However, this organ can work magic if used “well”.

Shocking Facts About A Clitoris That You Didn’t Know

There are more than 8,000 nerve endings in the tip of the clitoris alone – double the number of those in a penis

A clitoris is made up of 18 distinct parts – a mixture of erectile tissue, muscle and nerves. All those little pieces are working together to create the amazing sensations that anyone with a clitoris feels when they’re having orgasms.

They can swell as much as 300% when engorged

Clitorises range from 7-12 cm in length and swell by 50 to 300% when engorged when aroused. It’s not “a zero to 100 situation”, says Dr. Wolf, but as you draw closer to orgasm, it increases in size.

The clitoris can form a penis – and vice versa

In some forms of gender confirmation surgery, the clitoris can be enlarged with hormones to form a penis. In other cases, the penile glans can be reduced in size and relocated to create a clitoris.
