More than a “little hill”

Fun facts about your clitoris:

• The clitoris rivals the penis in size.
• “The vaginal wall is, in fact, the clitoris.”
• “If you lift the skin off the vagina on the side walls, you get the bulbs of the clitoris – triangular, crescental masses of erectile tissue.”
• [T]he clitoris is more than just its glans – the “little hill”
• “There’s nothing quite like the shape of a clitoris.”
• “The glans are dense with nerve endings and receptors – all the vibration and sensation is there.”
• The bulk of it is shaped like a pyramid.
• Its base forms the external genitalia or vulva; its triangular “walls” are wrapped around the urine-carrying tube known as the urethra and the vagina.
• When aroused, the whole structure becomes engorged.
• “They’re designed to stimulate a much larger area.”

No wonder, after reading this, Andrew Sullivan claims “clitoris envy.”
