There were no comprehensive studies of the clitoris until
1998, when Australian urologist Helen O’Connell published
her research. At the time, this organ was still described in
some medical textbooks as a “failure” of the male genital formation.
Although the visible part of the clitoris is roughly 0.5 to 1cm (0.2” to 0.4”), its total length extends up to 10cm (4”). It boasts three to four times more sensitive nerves than the penis.
This knowledge is not only useful for sexual matters but also crucial in preventing potential damages during surgical procedures.
