For spectacular pictures go to the book -The Elusive Orgasm by Vivienne Cass, 2004.

I was recently at the World Health Congress in Sydney where Helen O’Connell (Australian Urologist) talked about her discovery in 1998 that the female clitoris is not just a ‘button’. In fact, it is a very large organ, shaped like a ‘wishbone’.

It is the central and external glans (the button you can see) and internally it has long ‘legs’ either side. Attached to the legs are spongy bulbs. One explanation advanced for the vaginal orgasm is that it results from stimulation of the internal parts of the clitoris during vaginal penetration. Nevertheless, some women experience both clitoral and vaginal orgasms and distinguish between them in terms of both the physical and general sensations associated with each.

This truly IS ESSENTIAL information to maximize pleasure for all lovers who are empowered to relax and enjoy the extent of stimulation which can be created by this knowledge.
