The clitoris is a female organ located at the front of the vulva, above the vaginal opening. It consists mainly of erectile tissue and is highly innervated, making it particularly sensitive to touch and stimulation. The clitoris plays a central role in female sexual pleasure, being one of the main sources of pleasurable sensation and orgasm for many women. The size of the clitoris varies from person to person, but only a small part is visible on the outside, while the majority is located inside the body.
