The Still-Misunderstood Shape of the Clitoris

The Still-Misunderstood Shape of the Clitoris

The clitoris really isn't that confusing. Or it shouldn't be, anyway. Nonetheless, acknowledging the shape, size, or even existence of this essential body part has not always been par for the course-even in the medical profession. As a 2005 report from the American Urological Association puts it, "the anatomy of the clitoris has not been stable with time as would be expected.

    I want to make this but the only 3d printer i have access to is at the public library. Given, since it is so unrecognizable i could probably print it without anyone batting an eye.

    "The model can be downloaded and output by anyone with access to a 3-D printer. It is “anatomically correct, life-size, and in 3-D, which is far superior to the drawings that are generally available,” Fillod says. That a life-size clitoris is 10 centimeters may be the first shock—but the wishbone-like shape of the organ is certainly the second."

    Many people will probably be scandalized about a 3-D clitoris, but this is def a step in the right direction.

        It really does. I honestly thought this was some kind of chicken bone meets dental device when I first saw the picture lmao. Imagine having this laying around as part of the decor when someone picks it up and asks what it is. "Oh, it's just a clitoris model." The hard part would be keeping a straight face!

    "Vesalius argued the clitoris did not appear in “healthy women.” The Malleus Maleficarum, a 1486 guide for finding witches, suggested the clitoris was the “devil’s teat”; if the tissue were to be found on a woman it would prove her status as a witch. And in the 1800s, women seen as suffering from “hysteria” were sometimes subject to clitoridectomies."

      I would love to know why women having any kind of pleasure was satanic in the western religions..

      • ruthie_ginsbergMar 20 at 5:17 PM

        Because patriarchy?

      • GreenBalloonMar 20 at 5:19 PM

        Yeah I know that, but why did that thought even enter their brain? Like why did men start thinking they were better than women? I don't get it.

      This is honestly one of the most ridiculous things that I have ever heard. Those poor women!
