And I'm your host, Ford Certified Female Urologist, Dr. Casperson.

Hey guys, today we're going to talk about clitoral anatomy.

So this episode is all about the clitoris.

So did you know that the clitoris is the only organ in any human body that is solely designed

for pleasure?

And people immediately would be like, what about the man?

The man has a penis. The penis has three jobs. It needs to inseminate the female. It needs to

urinate. And then it also is involved in pleasure. So the penis actually has three jobs.

The clitoris only has one job. The job is pleasure. So the majority of the clitoris is on the

inside of the female pelvis. It's impossible to look at a flat 2D image, a drawing, and fully

understand the clitoris. Like, I'm still literally trying to wrap my head around this thing.

I've been studying this for a while. So the clitoral glands is the only

part, that's not true, it's the part that you see the most, and it's about seven millimeters

in size. So it's a small pea, sits above the urethra and it is covered by skin that's flexible,

it can kind of come over it up and down, and that shaft skin are kind of the

female equivalent of the penis shaft skin and the penis foreskin that covers the clitoral glands.

So the other part of the clitoris that you do, you can see if you look for it, sometimes you

have to pull back the mons a little bit is the clitoral shaft or the clitoral body.

Same thing as the male

penile shaft. So some people say we should just call this a female penis to describe the clitoris

better, but I don't know, then we're kind of defaulting anatomy to men again. So I don't like that.
