The clitoris is one of the most fascinating parts of the human body. Here are some fun clitoris facts that you may not know:

• It’s home to over 8,000 nerve endings. (For comparison, the penis has less than half that.)
• There’s more to the clitoris than meets the eye. Although most people think of the clitoris as the visible nub of skin, the clitoris actually extends up into the body and splits into two legs. It’s wishbone-shaped, like the image above.
• The clitoris is also much larger than you might realize. On average, it’s about 3-5 inches long.
• It’s the only part of the male or female human body that exists solely for pleasure. (The penis has reproductive purposes.)

I know, mind-blowing, right?

Here’s one more incredibly interesting factoid:

The clitoris actually grows throughout a woman’s lifetime!

When a girl hits puberty, hormonal changes help the clitoris begin to grow. By the time puberty ends, the clitoris is almost twice as large as its previous size.

By the time a woman is in her early thirties, the clitoris is four times its initial size.

And by the time a woman has completed menopause, her clitoris is a whopping seven times larger than it was when she was born!
