In a single square centimeter of skin we have more than 5,000 sensory receptors, but in the feminine ‘happiness point’, the clitoristhe figure can double. This small body has been the subject of debates and studies over the last decadesbut, despite the fascination with its anatomical structure and its contributions to female sexual well-being, science has taken years to determine the number of nerve endings that give rise to that sensation.

In November of last year, research published in IFL Science encrypted the endings that are concentrated in it. “It is surprising to think that More than 10,000 nerve fibers are concentrated in something as small as the clitoris“explained study author Blair Peters. Presenting the team’s findings at a conference, Peters explained how the actual number of nerves within the clitoris far exceeds previous estimates, which were around 8,000 endings.
When it comes to pleasure, the clitoris has an enviable design. Although it has historically been compared to the penis for sharing origin and anatomical similarities, the truth is that it exceeds the erogenous capacity of the male member by growing: it has between 4,000 and 6,000 nerve fibers, according to science.
Where is it and how does it work?
Surely you have heard this question before. It is also likely that there are many people around you who live without knowing what exactly the difference is between vagina, clitoris, vulva and uterus. All these anecdotes tell us something and that is that this small but fascinating organ remains a mystery to many people.
In 2005, Australian urologist Helen O’Connell first described its complete anatomy and concluded that regarding 90% of the structure of this organ is located inside the body.
In this way, what has always been believed to be the clitoris is actually only the equivalent of the glans and is located where the labia minora meet, hidden under a type of hood. The rest of the clitoris es an internal organ that extendsunder the skin, from the public hole to the bulb area of the clitoris, located behind the vaginal walls.
Regarding its appearance, the clitoris is obviously different from the penis, but it is also different in its functions although it shares some characteristics with it. The female organ has an average size of 10 centimeters, and, Like its counterpart, the tissue that makes it up is spongy and can grow due to excitement.
The penis has a double function, since it is involved in the process of sexual reproduction and in the urinary system. It has always been said that the clitoris’s only function is to provide pleasure., and it is true. However, a review published in 2019 in Clinical Anatomy highlighted evidence that this organ is important for reproduction.
The study, conducted by researcher Roy Levin, then indicated that clitoral stimulation might activate the brain to cause changes in the reproductive tractlike a improvement in vaginal blood flow and even the position of the cervix, so that it is in the ideal position to promote the fertilization of the egg. “The concept changes an important sexual belief and the physiological evidence is now obvious,” its author concluded.
Aside from the debate, what these studies show is that there is increasing interest in the functioning of this organ, which today has become the protagonist of all conversations regarding intimacy and has promoted an entire industry of suckers around it. and other toys created to give pleasure.
With them, The myth that penetration is the best technique to give pleasure to women is also obsolete. In fact, according to statistics from the Mayo Clinic, only 20% experience orgasm with this practice, which is often a source of frustration caused by ignorance and lack of communication between the couple regarding what makes us enjoy and what does not.
Is mine normal?
It has been said so much that “the clitoris is like an iceberg” – this is how the woman herself defines it colloquially. Spanish Association of Gynecology and Obstetrics— that when the visible part goes beyond the ‘canons’, insecurities and modesty emerge when it comes to enjoying with other people. But this should not at all be a cause for shame or alarm, since Not all vaginas or all clitorises are the same.
Some women report having more sensitivity at the opening of their vagina, but others hardly feel anything and need stimulation to reach orgasm. They are also different in appearance: there are larger ones, smaller ones, with a pinker or darker color… Although there are no parameters that serve to define what is normal, it is possible to suffer from problems such as clitoromegalia (which may be due to hormonal or genetic reasons) or the usual prolapse genital. These types of conditions must be treated in the field of gynecology and urology.
In these cases, as urologist Andrés de Palacio already explained to this newspaperit is best to go to the consultation to receive a diagnosis, which will vary “depending on the symptoms with which the patient comes. These will be the ones that determine whether an physical explorationand pelvic floor exama ultrasound o one urodynamic study to see how the bladder works“, Explain.
The specialist, in a recent interview for Magas de EL ESPAÑOL, confirmed that there are fewer and fewer taboos surrounding women’s health and that the important thing is always to put yourself in the hands of an expert, without shame or shame, to “give a solution to health problems that go beyond aesthetics and can seriously alter your quality of life“.
