This episode is the third in a series focusing on the ins and outs and the biology of women’s bodies, right down to the most basic, scientific level. This episode shares with you much of the awesome information in chapter four of  Woman: An Intimate Geography – a fabulous and scientific book about what it means to be a woman and/or a female by Natalie Angier. I’ve recently reread this book because it is fantastic! Her fourth chapter focuses on your fickle and fantastic clitoris! For example, did you know that:

  • Your clitoris has twice as many nerve endings (8,000) as a man’s penis?
  • The average length of a clitoris is 16mm long (the width of a dime)?
  • The clitoris is not sensitive to estrogen ebb and flow, and thus will not really change and leave you as you reach menopause like your vulva might?
  • Technically, there is no practical use for the clitoris (or is there…)?
