The Hidden Anatomy Behind Female Pleasure You Didn’t Know

There are eighteen parts to the clitoral network.

While many of these parts aren’t visible, each one plays a role in a woman’s pleasure.

Here’s a closer look at a few of the lesser-known internal components:

The clitoral shaft is connected to the head and runs just beneath the surface of the skin.

It becomes more noticeable—especially to the touch—when a woman is aroused.

This muscle lies between the inner lips and the clitoral bulbs. It also intertwines with the muscle that encircles the anus, which helps explain why anal stimulation can feel pleasurable.

Beneath it all is the PC muscle—also known as the “kegel” muscle. Strengthening it is known to enhance sexual pleasure in both women and men.

It’s also the muscle that lets us voluntarily stop the flow of urine.

What’s commonly called the “G-spot” is actually a ring of spongy tissue that surrounds the urethra. This tissue—known as the corpus spongiosum—engorges with blood when a woman is aroused, helping protect the urethra during penetration.

While the G-spot gets a lot of attention, it doesn’t have nearly as many nerve endings as the clitoris.

In fact, stimulation of this area can sometimes trigger the sensation of needing to urinate.

Still, the G-spot is part of the broader clitoral network—which means a G-spot orgasm is technically a clitoral orgasm.

For accuracy, this book will refer to the G-spot as the “clitoral cluster.”
