MYTH: The clitoris is hard to find

FACT: What you see is the tip of the iceberg

******

It may be fair to say that one of the most common myths about the vulva is the clitoris, and it isn’t even a myth! There are so many jokes about not being able to locate the clitoris – something perpetuated by the patriarchy in response to not quite knowing what they were looking for.

In the grand scheme of the vulva, the visible clitoris is a small part of a much larger whole. There is much more to the clitoris than meets the eye. The whole clitoris is around 8-10cm in length and consists of multiple parts.
