My Clitoris

I love my clitoris. I just appreciate its clitoral nature. I say clitoris like "KLIT-o-riss," although I know people who say "kli-TOR-iss." I mostly use the whole word, but sometimes say "clit," especially when referring to piercings.

While reading about female masturbation using vaginal muscles in an old Germaine Greer article in The Madwoman's Underclothes, I discovered that the clitoris has an extensive internal shaft that is something like 7cm (about 3 inches) long. More recently, while flipping through a book on the g-spot, I found a diagram showing this internal part of the clitoris as forked. Forked! Apparently it straddles the urethral sponge tissue, which swells during arousal. Forked.  

As far as I know, the whole clitoris is erectile, and swells up when it is aroused. I very much like the fact that my clitoris has a head and a tiny little (external) shaft. I can barely see my wee shaft, even with the hood pulled back out of the way, but it can be felt under the skin when it is excited and swollen up.ome people and some religions teach children that it is wrong to masturbate. In some families, children are told it’s “dirty” to touch themselves “down there” and that, if they do, bad things will happen to them. But, there is no medical or scientific evidence to back this up.
