About this episode

The clitoris is the only organ in the human body that’s dedicated solely to pleasure. It doesn’t have any muscles or play any role in the body's other functions. And while our understanding of the clitoris has improved in recent years, there's still a lot to learn, as research in this area is relatively new.

Until recently, researchers thought that the clitoris had 8,000 nerve endings. For comparison, that's more than double the sensory receptors found on the glans of the penis.

Why is the clitoris so sensitive? I’ve heard people compare the clitoris to the penis before. Are there really similarities between the two? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
