The most vital part of a women’s sexual anatomy, the clitoris, still remains a bit of an enigma.

The clitoral complex, which has a shape of a boomerang, extends under the skin and includes parts that are known as the body, crura, bulb and root.

The visible, external part of the clitoris, which is called the glans, contains thousands of nerves packed densely together in a small area, and is the centre of sexual sensation.

There is no standard size for a clitoris, however, as most know, it usually grows with sexual arousal and having a smaller clitoris may make it more difficult to get sexual pleasure.

This clitoris is a wishbone-shaped structure that extends anywhere from seven to 13 centimetres into a women’s body.

Interestingly, the clitoris is the same size as the average erect penis at about 5.1 inches, according to Cosmopolitan.

But does it get bigger as we age?

When aroused, the blood flow to your genitals increases.

The clitoris and labia will swell as pleasure builds up.

Once an orgasm happens, the size of the clitoris will decrease.

The clitoris starts to grow during puberty and when puberty is over, it will have grown 1.8 times larger than it was before puberty

By the time a woman reaches 32, her clit will be four times the size it was when she began puberty. When she reaches menopause, it will be seven times bigger than it was when she was born.

One study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine found that in women who have problems orgasming, their clitoris is smaller and located farther from the vagina.

Researchers used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to scan the pelvic area of 30 women who were on average 32 years old.

Ten of these women had reported rarely or never achieving orgasms despite trying.
