I had a girlfriend whose clitoris looked like a very small penis when she was aroused. It was maybe 1/2" long and quite sensitive.
Like this one, perhaps and even though, I've never seen one in the flesh, closeup and personal like ..... Category:Glans clitoridis - Wikimedia Commons
Your GF's clit wasn't that pronounced, or Ms Anonymous here wasn't as pronounced? So, what about all you ladies on the forums listening in here and might any of you have one that's similar in size?
0.5" (=1.25 cm) of size of clitoris when aroused is not outside the normal average. Average size ranges from 0.5 cm to 1.5 cm. During arousal, it can enlarge to varying lengths. It has the same anatomical architecture of a penis consisting of 3 cylindrical tissues with vascular spaces. When sexually stimulated blood flow into these spaces is increased causing erection and enlargement. The head ( or glans) of the clitoris is the most sensitive part supplied by more than 8000 sensory nerve endings (a smilar number to male glans). Clitoral stimulation is vital for reproduction by preparing the female genital tract for receving and processing the semem, and for pleasure.
Is that really true? What about the women who are not stimulated but, raped, and who become pregnant?
Stimulation of the clit (also other erogenous areas) sends signals to the specific centres in the brain, which then send back signals to the vaginals walls, paraurethral glands and vestibular glands. Vaginal wall produce exudates to moisten the inner wall which aids in easy penetration and neutralizing the acidity. These are basic reflex processes for aiding the reproductive function
My girlfriend's clit wasn't as pronounced. It was more petite. But it still looked just like a little erect penis.
Well, there you go then and evidently big clits are in style these days. What say the rest of you ladies?
No you are not. I love big clits. They are more accessible and it's amazing and beautiful to see it protruding from the hood when it's engorged and erect!!!!
Clitoris which is small to medium sized which not too visible in the unstimulated state, but undergoes erection with a noticeable clitoral shaft and glans that are easily palpable during foreplay is my favourite.
My wife only has a small slit and does not expose labia or clitoris. But when fully aroused during play her clit is a focal point and swells to three times it size. A side note: She will give it a quick rub to keep it semi aroused with good blood flow. She does this for good health.
If she's doing a quick rub for health reasons, I hope you'll encourage her or at least suggest that she does it to orgasm each time. I've written before about this but, a summary; From a nurse friend and then family doctor, whom I asked for verification of the nurse's remark, women should masturbate to orgasm at least 5 times a week and ideally every day. I also know that, for some women and mothers, time constraints get in the way but, it's a health issue and should be prioritised. Menopause, when it starts, can cause a reduction of natural lubrication and a loss of flexibility (a loss, which manufactured lubes don't counteract), and so sex may become painful for her or she may just lose interest in sex because of the discomfort. Apparently the research isn't conclusive (when I asked the question about 10yrs back) but, it tends to support the notion that daily masturbation through life can delay the time when dryness or loss of flexibility can occur. My own limited and non-medical research with women who have been open with me about their solo sex, has given me a clear impression or perception. Those women who masturbate more frequently are much more moist when aroused than those who say they do it every week or ten days. Those who masturbate more frequently were more inclined to want sex and to initiate it. Those who masturbated more frequently were more confident in their sexual activities and sexual exploration though, that may have been their self-confidence meaning they wanted to masturbate more. Two, whose masturbation was seldom, were clearly the most dry and they were less interested as well as being less able to relax and cum with one not actually cumming and not wanting to go beyond the arousal stage. Again, I'm not sure which was the cause and which was the effect ( between 'being less able to relax & cum' and 'their lesser masturbatory occasions') but, I think it's fun to cum and a woman shouldn't wait for a guy or girl to get her off.
All good points. There are three side to our sex life together. 1) My wife and I have a very intimate sex. 2-3 times a week. 2) She is a retired nurse that has a thorough understanding of the health benefits regarding self masturbation. 3) She also is a “old school” wife that is very aware of her body and the pleasures it can provide. Masturbation for is a weekly occurrence and I provide oral on her clit 2-3 weekly, so with all that activity, she is healthy. No dryness and sexy at 65.
