WOMEN’S EXTERNAL SEX STRUCTURES AND ORGANS: CLITORIS AND CLITORAL HOOD. FEMALE CIRCUMCISION
Clitoris and Clitoral Hood
Located toward the top of the vulva, in the soft folds where both labia meet, is a very important organ. It is caned the clitoris. The only purpose of the clitoris is to give girls and women sexual pleasure.
The tip of the clitoris is called the glans. The size of the clitoris varies from woman to woman, but it Ь often about the size of a pea.
The shaft that supports the glans of the clitoris separates into two “legs” that straddle each side of the vagina inside the woman’s body. The shaft and glans of the clitoris are covered by a clitoral hood. The glans of the clitoris is extremely sensitive to the touch. The clitoris contains corpus cavernosa tissue that causes it to swell with blood during sexual activity.
Female circumcision
Female circumcision is performed in some African, Middle Eastern, and Southeast Asian countries—and in the United States among immigrants from these countries who still follow customs of their original cultures. Female circumcision is an operation that removes the clitoral hood, the clitoris, and, often, the labia. Female circumcision is practiced for cultural reasons. It is often done in unsanitary conditions, can lead to severe health problems, and reduces sexual sensitivity. For these reasons, there is a growing international movement to ban the practice. Female circumcision is often called clitoridectomy or FGM (female genital mutilation). There are no health or medical reasons to perform FGM. Although they can still lead a sexual life, women who have been circumcised will not enjoy the same clitoral sensations during sex play.
