Female sexuality is considered a great mystery – often also for women themselves. The clitoris, which grows beyond itself during sex, plays a key role.

For a long time, the clitoris led a shadowy existence. It has only been clear for a few years that the knob between the labia minora, also known as the glans, is just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. Hidden beneath is a branched network of nerves and vessels with cavernous bodies that extend several centimeters long on both sides of the sheath. When aroused, the erectile tissue fills with blood, expands, and can produce a vaginal orgasm when stimulated. So the ominous G-spot is also part of the clitoris.
