For two millennia it was a “little hill” – the meaning of kleitoris, its root word in Greek. But an Australian urologist, Dr Helen O’Connell, has revealed that the clitoris is shaped more like a mountain than a hill.

The clitoris rivals the penis in size.

“The vaginal wall is, in fact, the clitoris,” said Dr O’Connell, who is based in Melbourne.

“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.”

Eheh, now you know…..

How does this revealation affects us women?  Heck, how do I know?  What do I care.  LOL.  But maybe men will learn a thing or two from this biology and human anatomy lessons, p’haps?  Keyword – ‘A mountain, not just a  button.’

“There’s nothing quite like the shape of a clitoris,” she said.

“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, she said.

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.
