It's been called "completely useless," linked with hysteria and mental illness, cut off, and erased from anatomy text books.

00:00I think of, like, the idea of throbbing, of growing, of sort of a center, a nucleus of pleasure and nerve endings.
00:30Both the penis and the clitoris engorge with arousal, which means that some of the erectile
00:51tissues which are in the penis and the clitoris engorge with blood when we get excited.
01:00The clitoris and the penis have a shared anatomy, it's just assembled in a different way.
01:30The clitoris and the penis have a shared anatomy, it's just assembled in a different way.
01:56The way that we approach female sexuality hasn't changed for millennia.
02:06We demonize female sexuality.
02:56They're so worried during this time period that there are these spate of clitoridectomies.
03:15Some unlucky women who masturbated too much, or people believe they did, they got their
03:21clitoris removed.
03:44Some women told me that it was done because women are not supposed to be sexual.
04:14She found that only 1.5% of women would masturbate solely using penetration, and a lot of women,
04:25the majority, would stimulate the outside of their vulva, and then quite a few people
04:30did both.
04:31But it was really obvious that the main thing for most people was the outside stimulation.
04:36It was huge media coverage around it, like she actually got hounded to the point where
04:39she actually left the States and went to live in Germany, because there was a real backlash
04:43about it.
04:44Is it a vagina?
04:45Um, it's close.
04:46It's a part of the vagina.
04:47Is it the uterus?
04:48Actually, this whole thing is the clitoris.
04:49Okay, I feel so stupid.
04:50Do you want to like, start over again?
04:51Start over again?
04:52Yeah.
04:53Okay.

05:11Okay.
05:12You want me to start over again so I can act like I know this answer?
05:14No!
05:15No, no, no.
05:16Not at all.
05:26I didn't know that.
05:27Good answer.
05:28Yeah.
05:30I mean, it's hidden.
05:31Everything else is hidden.
05:32See?
05:33They lie to us.
05:42I don't think I learned about, like, the clitoris until I became a feminist.
06:02The clitoris is magical.
06:14For me, it's, like, the fact that you can have multiple orgasms and that women can get
06:23so much pleasure from the tiniest organ that has way more nerve endings than, like, any
06:30guy has anywhere is insane.
