Re-think the Clitoris

The clitoris rivals the penis in size.

"The vaginal wall is, in fact, the clitoris," said Dr O'Connell, who is based in Melbourne.

"There's nothing quite like the shape of a clitoris," she said.

"The glans are dense with nerve endings and receptors - all the vibration and sensation is there."

The bulk of it is shaped like a pyramid, she said.

Its base forms the external genitalia or vulva; its triangular "walls" are wrapped around the urine-carrying tube known as the urethra and the vagina.

When aroused, the whole structure becomes engorged.

"Helen has gone to significant effort to confirm what we suspected," said Dr Margaret Davy, director of gynaecological oncology at the Royal Adelaide Hospital in South Australia.

"The original anatomists weren't interested in the clitoris. The penis was much more interesting.

"It was bigger and you didn't have to wear your spectacles to see it."
