Cliteracy
 
The clitoris is a mostly-internal organ that can be up to 9 centimeters long.

I've owned one for decades, and I had no idea.

:lol2:

really? We got all that goin' on? I had no idea either. Do we have to start measuring our 'stuff' to brag about in lockerooms?

Now that's some awesome anatomy. Explains a lot ...

lumberjim 08-30-2013 07:59 PM

, that article you link says that it exists solely for pleasure. I don't think that strictly true is it?

I thought it was basically a tiny little penis. Doesn't pee come out of that thing?

Clodfobble 08-30-2013 08:09 PM

I think the urethra is technically a separate tube resting on top. But it's possible the nerve bundle may have evolved to be so sensitive specifically so that we would know when pee was or wasn't coming out.

orthodoc 08-30-2013 08:16 PM

The urethra lies posterior to the clitoris and fairly separate from it. There's no functional connection between the two.

Clodfobble 08-30-2013 08:52 PM

Damn, I was hoping I could have an orgasm if I just peed hard enough.

Undertoad 08-30-2013 09:17 PM

No but you could have a pee if you orgasm hard enough.

New favorite thread!

I watched a programme once (an opener which stands alongside "Just hold my beer" in terms of intelligence) which showed that the contraction of the muscles caused the cervix to open slightly during clitoral orgasm. It was posited that the physical affect of orgasm would ensure more sperm reached the uterus.

Haven't seen or read anything about this since.
But it was an interesting idea.

I always considered myself cliterate but this thread is learning me.

All I can really say on this topic of the clitoris is: I like the clitoris. I'm a fan.

Sundae 08-31-2013 08:57 AM

I think I should have a sponsored celibacy/ no-flicking-the-bean-athon.
You know, like for charity.

Like for charity, but in fact just for me.
Pay me for every day I don't think about you and touch myself.

I'm so sad I've lost my sex drive. Surely someone, somewhere should be compensating me? "Had an accident that wasn't your fault?" "Been mis-sold PPI?" "Haven't had sex for so long you're worried about being cobwebby?" You know what I mean.

I'm feeling a strong desire to study this, in depth.

xoxoxoBruce 08-31-2013 03:16 PM

Yes, I'll take a closer look... it bears watching.
