The Clit: Tip of the Iceberg

Yes – that is what a clitoris looks like. And we were finally able to create a 3D model of  the clitoris using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)!! Even though we know almost every detail of the male penis, the clitoris has always remained more of a mystery. I suppose you could chalk this up to both to the fact that our sexual organs are more internal and thus harder to observe, and the fact that most scientific and medical fields are male dominated. But what helped bring about the better understanding of the internal clitoral structure was the advent of MRI machines, which allow us to perfectly model structures within the body.

We here at Loose Garments feel that it is our duty to help educate the general public and especially our feminist fans on what the clitoris actually looks like! This highly complex internal structure has many implications for sexual pleasure of women, including the idea of clitoral versus vaginal orgasms (and are they perhaps more the same than different?).

Think about what this means for you. Read more at Wikipedia, the Museum of Sex Blog and TheMarySue.com.
