OK, let me see if I can describe to you where it is. I know that most women don't learn where their clitoris is (or some don't even know they have one)when they are young and learning their body parts. ADults just never tell us these things. It is also hard to see unless you use a mirror or look at a picture (and the picture never looks like us!)
So let me describe to you where it is and what it looks like and you then take a mirror and see if you can find it! Then let me know if you have difficulty.
First, the outside of our genital area is called the vulva. There are several distinctive parts. The labia (lips) are folds of skin that cover the entire area but get thicker around the opening to the vagina. There are three openings going from front of the body to the back. The smallest near the front is the urethra, through which we pass urine. Then the larger middle opening is the one into the vagina. As we get to the rear the anus is a larger opening, where was pass out solid wastes.
All of these areas can be aroused sexually as they all have many nerve endings and blood vessels flowing to them.
Now, the clitoris. It is at the very front of the vulva (just below your pubic bone). It is round, the size of a small pea, and it is covered partially by a hood of skin that connects to the labia.
That should get you started. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I will gladly help you.Reviewed by Sexual Health Editorial Team
