We May Finally Know How Many Nerve Endings Are in The Human Clitoris
Science Alert ^ | 5 Nov 2022 | Carly Cassella

The human clitoris is a scientific iceberg, both physically and figuratively.

In the past, research on our species' clitoris has been superficial at best, and even the tiny bit that we think we know now is not always right.

The clitoris is often said to house 8,000 nerve endings – 'double' that of the penis – but new findings, presented at a scientific meeting in October, suggest that's a serious underestimation of both sex organs.

The study is not yet peer-reviewed, but at least the results are on track to be properly scrutinized.

The numbers most often cited for the innervation of the glans penis and glans clitoris derive from old studies on – wait for it – cows; the results were simply co-opted for human anatomy.

When I was a kid, cuz of this commercial, I’d count the licks to the tootsie roll. I’d have to keep repeating, cuz I kept biting.

I thought doctors didn’t amputate the clitoris. I thought they somehow used it (connected it?) when creating a fake penis. Women need that tissue. Lord, now I have to look this up.

How do I get a job researching how many nerve endings are stimulated in the clitoris during climax? I am thinking it might take years of research on hundreds of women. I will do it for minimum wage.

Ovulation swells the number of nerves in the clitoris?

Extrapolate that out to the whole planet. There are 30 million living organisms in a Tbsp of healthy soil. They all work in harmony to give the plants what they need. They convert hard minerals into water soluble versions.

Now we know why Putinists on this forum are so sensitive to criticism.

Holy crap. You even managed to bring your Zelbot propaganda to a clit thread. Sad little Uke.

Clearly a moo cow. Sad that they can pass her off as a bull or steer. America is too far removed from the farm.
