What is a clitoris?

The clitoris is a pleasure-sensitive part of the vulva. It consists of the glans (external tip), crura, and bulbs (internal parts). The external part is covered by the clitoral hood, while the internal parts surround the urethra and vagina, providing sexual stimulation. Trans women can undergo clitoroplasty, with the goal of creating a clitoris that also produces sexual pleasure and orgasms.
