There are many different ways a woman can orgasm, but if we're talking vagina, we've got to mention the clit.

Some folks call it the clitoris but since that makes me feel like an uptight doctor, I'm going with clit. If it shares space in my drawers with my vagina, I think I can give it a nice little nickname, don't you?

We all learn that our clits are super sensitive, and for many of us, the key to climax. But did you also know that they are made of the same erectile tissue as the penis and the nose? Don't confuse the three, and we'll get along just fine.

Learning about your clit doesn't just make you a better feminist, it makes your sex life THAT much more enjoyable! Here are 8 facts about your clit that will transform your sex life or my name isn't Rebecca "Vagina" Stokes.

1. It's 10 times bigger than you think

Your clit might look like the tip of a finger, but it extends up to ten times that size throughout your vulva. As such, it doesn't need solely attention to the external part to feel stimulated.

2. 75%

That's the number of women who need their clit involved in the game if they are going to orgasm their little hearts out. Remember that the next time you're watching porn and a lady cums when a guy brushes her hair.

3. It's growing

Yup. Even as we're sitting here talking your clit is growing bigger and longer and more powerful. We aren't sure why this growth continues, so for now let's assume because mother nature wanted you to enjoy boning down EVEN MORE as you aged.

4. 8,000

That's the number of nerve endings in your clit! Eight. Thousand. That's more than any dick could dream of, so make sure it's being attended to with a varied array of touch and stimulation. Easy goes it, ladies.

5. Pleasure

That's the sole function your clit serves. Can a dick say that? Hell no! It pees. It makes babies. Your clit on the other hand? Well it's a total Samantha.

6. "Key"

That's what the ancient Greek word "clitoris" means. This is not a happy accident, it's everything you need to know.

7. Witches

During the days of the Salem witch trials, women with visible clits were seen as having "the devil's mark". Your clit is so powerful and scared men so much they burned women at the stake because of it! HONOR THAT LEGACY AND LIVE IT UP.
