The Clitoris: What 90% of Women Don’t Know About Their Anatomy
The clitoris is a far more extensive structure than its external presentation suggests, with the majority of its anatomy lying internal and unseen. Externally, the glans clitoris is the visible, highly innervated nub of erectile tissue situated at the anterior junction of the labia minora, typically partially or fully covered by the clitoral hood (prepuce), a fold of skin homologous to the foreskin in male anatomy. The glans sits atop the clitoral body (corpus), which curves sharply downward and backward into the pelvis immediately after exiting the hood, rather than continuing externally.
