What is the clitoris and what does it do? Is it the same as the G-spot?
The clitoris is a small bundle of nerve endings, located in the vulva near the urethra. The only function of the clitoris is to provide pleasure. Think of it as the orgasm button. Most women need to have their clitoris touched or rubbed in order to have an orgasm.
The G-spot is totally different. About the size of a quarter, this famous pleasure spot is located on the top wall inside the vagina. The G-spot has a different texture than other areas inside the vagina. Some say that rubbing this spot gives them an orgasm. These orgasms sometimes deliver an ejaculation. That is, some girls come, spraying a fluid out of the urethra � not urine � during orgasm. Not every woman likes G-spot stimulation and many don�t ejaculate. Some women never experience orgasm this way.
