Clitoris size.

[ginnyseta.livejournal.com]

I was watching Oprah today, and she had a guest gyno on. I forgot her name but she wrote the book "What Your Mother Didn't Tell You About Sex" or something like that. And she said that the clitoris is actually 5 inches long.

My reaction was pretty much...."Whosamuhhuh?!"

I did not know this, and I thought I was pretty up on my body!. Are the other five inches inside, or something? Did I mishear what she said? Is there any way to...er, make sure I'm thoroughly using my entire clit?

Thanks gals!

Yup, it's kind of like a three-legged wishbone (whee!)

I think the rest of it is in your body, and the amount that is exposed during stimulation varies from woman to woman and with the intensity of stimulation.

she said the clitoris? or the CERVIX? the cervix is anywhere from 2" to 6" long. The clitoris is not. Did Oprah make a big goof on tv?

Oh my... I am going to have to investigate this...I have never read anything about the clitoris being THAT LONG! hrmmmmm...this may explain some things to me. ;)

Check out Natalie Angier's "Woman: An Intimate Geography". Very illuminating!
