can a clit get a hard-on?

I''ve heard conflicting reports.\ \ I swear, women have some of the weirdest (and scariest) private parts.

• During sexual excitement, the clitoris and also the labia minora do indeed become erect.

• And has more nerve endings that the dick.%0D\ Touch a clit directly and you have to scrape the woman off the ceiling.

• is there a difference between the clit and the vagina?

• Quite true, R2. And while I''m at it, I''ll add that it''s a damn good thing they''re protected by a foreskin.

• Oh dear. Not this shit again.

• Women''s private parts look like something Jacques Cousteau pulled up from the bottom of the sea.

• You bet!

  Chyna

• The clit is never soft -- it''s always hard.\ \ "Is there a difference between the clit and the vagina?"\ \ WTF? The clit is where the orgasm comes from. The vagina is the hole where babies come from, you idiot.

• Behold, the mighty clitoris!

• Another thread for DLoungers that failed HS biology...

• So looking at that diagram. I thought women peed from their clits. And what does the crust clitoris do? So do you stick your dick in that tube like thing?

• I find it fascinating how it''s basically the same as a penis, but it just develops differently.

• just one more example of women being wanna-be males. Hell, even the word ''woman'' is just ''man'' with ''wo'' put in front of it. Originality isn''t exactly their strong suit.

• Yeah it hardens when you''re turned on. For example, if i even think of an attractive woman or see one, I can feel a sensation in my clit. Or if you''re having sex and tribbing you can slwoly feel your partners clit engorge.It''s great

• >>women have some of the weirdest (and scariest) private parts%0D\ %0D\ Ever seen a dick? They''re the very definition of fugly.

• I feel threatened by the weekly "vagina question" troll, he/she/it is way too fascinated by them.\ \ Luckily, this penised-person is likely not capable of raping, as he''d never find the place to stick his tool of oppression.

• Or a board full of gay men, R10...

• R11, are you serious? Or nine years old?\ \ The clit is only for pleasure. No pee.

• This is why seventh grade girls have to carry trapper keepers in front of their lady business all the time - hardon clits totally ruin Guess jeans.

• r18, to be fair, people have been describing the clit as a tiny penis basically, and pee comes out of the penis. But r11 was probably just trolling of course.\ \ I''ll ask my own ignorant question for the men, when you come, does a little pee ever come out? Has a guy ever been fucking and pee dribbled out instead of the intended stuff? Both are gross to me, but it seems like a bad idea to put them in the same place...

• "Has a guy ever been fucking and pee dribbled out instead of the intended stuff?"%0D\ %0D\ I''ve never seen that before, R20, but I have had a few instances where the ejaculate comes out yellowish, from what I''m assuming has to be some urine residue.

• Men have a sphincter muscle where the bladder connects to the urethra, this usually constricts when aroused, so urine does not flow out.

• R20, it''s very difficult to pee when you have a hardon. Morning wood makes you lean over the bowl which is why you have palm marks against the back walls of your toilet.

• Yes. It''s called a bulldagger.

• If you ever washed your hands, you wouldn''t leave palm marks.

• r13 was the victim of a head injury.

• r26 needs to come up with a much wittier come-back than that. AMATEUR.

• R13/27 has been waiting around for an hour and 15 minutes to post that.

• R27 is obviously butthurt

  R26 was actually quite good

• r28 wouldn''t know good sarcasm if it bit her in the ass (or clit).

• This site may actually kill some of you with the mere shock of it all...make especially sure to check out the picture pages.

• I love vulvas very much in person, but looking at anatomy drawings of genitals is such a turn off. And don''t get me started on most of the photos.\ \ This one amused me though. So there''s a standard intersexed cutoff where the doc says "that''s a clit" or "intersexed" or "penis"?\ \ And 28 "frozen sections" and 45 "living women" to measure erect versus flaccid clits? lol

• What''s "tribbing?"

• The labia don''t become erect, R1. They may swell, but there''s no erectile tissue and no erection.

• Yes. But is it cut or uncut?

• of course; don''t you know anything about women''s anatomy?

• Men just have (beat) more ta offuh. You know what I mean Daw-the?

  Blanche

• Perhaps you are correct, R35, in that there might not be tissue that is technically referred to as "erectile tissue" present in the labia minora. But I can tell you from my own experience that the labia minora definitely do swell during sexual excitement. Since this is because of increased blood engorgement in the area, that would mean the reaction is quite similar to what happens in tissue specifically classified as "erectile tissue." So I''d say its just a matter of semantics whether or not one refers to it as an "erection."

  R1

• Yeah, it all swells up and it''s very distracting. It throbs. And you can self-stimulate by flexing and contracting the inner muscles. I could do that all day, but I''d get nothing done.

• Good heavens--three holes! No wonder straight men always act so confused.

• Tribbing is genital to genital contact

• I''m SO glad I''m a gay man and don''t have to deal with such a complicated and mysterious organ. This thing should come with a Chilton manual.

• But r43, your paynus started as a clit!

  the walking clitoris

• I''m traumatized by that thing in r44''s link. I think it''s going to chase me in my sleep. It has feet.

• Oh, for the love of god. The urethra is tiny, tiny, tiny. Not like anyone could confuse it with the vag or the a-hole.

• Amazing ressemblances, thanks R44.%0D\ %0D\ I knew that the male organs are female ones transformed during gestation by hormones (the foetus is always female first) but this diagramme makes it all clear.

• [quote]the foetus is always female first%0D\ %0D\ Ooh, now you''ve started it. All the misogynists will be here soon to combat the actual science of that fact. Just watch.

• R41, well men have three holes too- the urethra where urine comes out at the tip of your, and the hole at the tip of your penis where semen comes out, and your anus%0D\ %0D\ Women have the urethra, vagina, and anus%0D\ %0D\ Have you never looked at an anatomy graphic in a textbook or on the web?

• R1, the clitoris and labia do NOT become erect.%0D\ %0D\ How absurd for you to phrase it that way.%0D\ %0D\ They can become slightly engorged with blood, but certainly NOT ''erect''.%0D\ %0D\ You are throwing all of know nothings way off track.

• R11, do you seriously not know that a penis is inserted into the vagina?

• It''s funny that one of the posters accused us of trying to be male because of this when we''re all female first, to begin with. Some of the responses are amusing. Sadly, education in this area is lacking, I didn''t learn where I actually peed from until I was a teenager.lol

• [quote]well men have three holes too- the urethra where urine comes out at the tip of your, and the hole at the tip of your penis where semen comes out, and your anus...Have you never looked at an anatomy graphic in a textbook or on the web?%0D\ %0D\ Moron, the semen comes out your urethra.%0D\ %0D\ R50, the definition of an erection is the swelling of the penis due to engorgment by blood. It is the exact same mechanis with a different arrangement of the very similar anatomical tissue. It''s just more spread out in women. But, if you''re so attached to your little word, you go ahead and keep it for yourself.

• I honestly don''t get how grown adults don''t know basic anatomy and biology. I also don''t understand the lack of intellectual curiosity that would keep people from learning about sexual functioning.

• Ditto, R54!

• R54, especially sexual functioning. Why weren''t these people sneaking peeks at the sex parts of library books in fifth grade like everyone else? That was pre-internet, of course, so now there''s absolutely no excuse.

• Do you piss out of the clit?

• You shit out the clit. Duh.

• [quote]Another thread for DLoungers that failed HS biology...%0D\ %0D\ They taught about clits in your high school? Wow! They certainly didn''t cover that in my high school. At least not any class that boys were in.

• i''m from Europe and we actally have this covered when we''re about 14... %0D\ no, women do not pee thru clit%0D\ yes, clit does get bigger when aroused

• I don''t think the word ''clitoris'' was ever mentioned once in any sex education class (which, actually, was just a part of health class, not a separate course). %0D\ %0D\ Of course, I had a teacher who, when we watched a NOVA documentary on reproduction, walked up to the television and covered up the picture with a piece of paper and then fast forwarded through the male part. Those embarassing penii!

• lol r61

• Calling women "fraus" and the c-word in the abusive and belittling way in which DLers use these words is a form of abuse that is just as bad as the abuse heaped on homosexuals by the people at godhatesf*gs.com.\ \ Stop the violence against women.\ \ It''s killing you.

• Ever since ive been taking Vitamin B12 I''ve noticed my clitoris is more..umm.. alert?%0D\ Any ideas why??

• Stunning!

• They taught us about the clitoris in Health class -- grade 7. We had diagrams of the penis and vagina to label, in Latin. (This was in rural Canada, 1970s.)

• When I get aroused my clit throbs and hurts a little. Is that an orgasm?

• OMG R65...I''m not vaginaphobic, but...maybe a word of warning?

• R65, my phobia is slightly different from yours. %0D\ %0D\ I feel like pucking every time I see those repelling hanging masses of wrinkled red flesh hanging between a man''s legs.

• [quote]Ever seen a dick? They''re the very definition of fugly.\ \ I''ve seen thousands and they''re mostly beautiful. That bleeding gash between your legs looks like something out of a horror movie, though.

• R74, true.%0D\ %0D\ Why do you think women are so bad in general when it comes to giving blowjobs? They touch and suck peen too delicately because they think penises are as sensitive as their clits.

• Calling women "fraus" and the c-word in the abusive and belittling way in which DLers use these words is a form of abuse that is just as bad as the abuse heaped on homosexuals by the people at godhatesf*gs.com.\ \ Stop the violence against women.

• Sometimes, secretly...I pretend I have a clit.

• Here are some texts which show the unknowledge about the clit and the cock too. \ 1. There are no no more nerves inside the clit, than the cock. People only count such in the male glans. O.k. there are not so many. But there are more nerves inside the foreskin. 4000 in the glans, 6000 inside the foreskin. \ The most pleasure wom do have in their clit.glans, but for us men we have the most lust directly below our glanses!\ 2. Clits get hard, but not stiff. You can bow them without any problem and pain.\ 3. The number of nerves is not everything, because they must get provided with transmitters!\ 4. Normally the cock gets quicker aroused than the clit, if their is no rubbing and touching there.

• You try to bow my clit R80, I promise you it will involve problem as well as pain. For both of us.

• I''m thinking of buying a clit pump - has anyone experienced these? do they work?\ \ Recommendations?\ \ Thanks in advance.\ \ x

• I''m confused how does it create violence against womym if you say clit?

• I have a really big clit and it gets really hard. Sometimes I think I could even fuck someone with it.

• Urine and semen never come out of the urethra at the same time. There is a valve that regulates the flow of either fluid, and each fluid comes from different places.

• You''d be amazed at what I''m capable of.

• [quote] Hell, even the word ''woman'' is just ''man'' with ''wo'' put in front of it\ \ \ actually, that happened only later in the 17th century when the English language was "tidied up". the root for the word woman is the same scandinavian root for the word "queen". "Kveme" from later 11th century usage eventually formed two different dialectical words - "woman" and "queen". The native English word for "woman" was "wife" - thus, "I now pronounce you ''man and wife'' in holy wedded matrimony. . . "

• "This pic of a spread-open vulva makes me giggle; it looks like a little face!\ NSFW, duh."\ \ I''m conflicted on whether you really even needed the NSFW warning, R95. On the one hand, many of us are dismissive of a term like "vulva" assuming it vaguely has something to do with small Swedish cars. On the other hand, without that warning, my coworkers would have heard a horrifying cubicle shreik, followed by me running shoeless with my orange Cheetoh stained hands all over my white Mary pearls.

  Thank you!

• I''m curious about stimulating the clit too. Seems like some say DON''T touch it directly and other times - especially in porn - I see a guy spreading the lips open and flicking and sucking on the clit directly.%0D\ %0D\ Is there a more popular way than other to make a girl cum?

• Can a clit get a woop-woop?

  Clit Z

• I like to have my clit sucked. I''m told it''s abnormally large.

• Naive Gay, the key to properly stimulating a woman's clitoris is to START GENTLY. Afaik, most guys love it when you stroke their cocks hard and fast, and they can cum immediately. But that's not the case for women. If you start touching a clit roughly, it may be exquisitely painful (like excessive glans stimulation just after orgasm), or else it'll become numb and the girl won't be able to cum at all. In fact, the best way to start manually stimulating a woman is to NOT touch the clit at all, but rather circle around it for some time, until she's warmed up and ready for more stimulation. As for guys in str8 porn lapping away on a girl's clit? More often than not, you're not seeing the real beginning of the action. They've probably been playing around for 10-60+ mins before even getting to that part, so she won't be as painfully sensitive. Also, 99.99% of the time in str8 porn, the girl really isn't getting off on the stimulation, and is faking it. Hint: if the girl keeps constantly moaning or whining in the *exact same tone*, she's faking it. If you watch amateur porn, you'll see women having *real* orgasms, and their vocalizations change depending on the stimulation they're receiving. More importantly, you can tell when the girl's actually cum, because immediately afterwards, she'll become more relaxed and breathe deeply, and often direct her partner to ease up on the stimulation. I myself am very easily multi-orgasmic. When I'm using my toys, I always bring myself to at least 3-4 orgasms, and sometimes 6-8. With a partner, I usually cum 3-6 times, depending on how talented he is. But I almost *never* have a second orgasm right after the first one ends; we need a few moments to relax and recover just like guys do. It's just that, in our refractory period, the pussy is still available for stimulation, whereas a soft cock can't be used for much. ;)

• Holy Mary, thanks for the pic R9 .... bulb of vestibule? I once sold a house with a vestibule !!! And yes R49, men do indeed have 3 holes %E2%80%93 their dickhole, arsehole and piehole! Now see the woman in R95 %E2%80%98s picture has a small clit like mine %E2%80%93 I want bigger and that's why I bumped this thread re: clit pumps! Not to reopen the debate on where a girl pees from or whether or not her clit can have an erection! Although now you've got me started..... we're all different! My tiny clit is constantly 'hard' and I thank god I have a substantial hood otherwise I'd be coming in my pants running up the Tube escalators!! And to the poster who enquired about stimulating a girls clit; I hate all that licky licky messing around; and sucking mine is about as effective as giving a denture wearing OAP some nut toffee to chew. No, I like mine bit, pulled with teeth, rubbed/strummed with nails, toothbrush etc - and it never gets numb. The harder and faster mine's stimulated the harder my orgasm (think body popping). x PS. Yes sometimes it bleeds a little but it's never dropped off and it heals v v quickly.

• [quote]sucking mine is about as effective as giving a denture wearing OAP some nut toffee to chew. No, I like mine bit, pulled with teeth, rubbed/strummed with nails, toothbrush etc - and it never gets numb. Interesting, Lucy! Mine's fairly sensitive; if I don't start off gently, then it'll numb up and I won't be able to cum until I've given it about a day's rest. Then again, I absolutely LOVE cervical stimulation -- the deeper and harder the dick, the better -- and many DLers insist that I don't know what I'm talking about and that I must be a gayboi who's never met a vagina before, because *everyone* experiences agony when their cervix is bumped. I enjoy cervical stimulation so much that I kinda get off on getting a Pap smear! I know, it's icky, and I hate the idea, and it's not like I masturbate right there in the office or something, but after I've had it done, my pussy is tingling and singing with delight! I actually feel weird when I masturbate later that night, because ewww on enjoying a Pap smear, but I can't help it! And no, I don't tell the doctor about it, lol.

• Anyone want to comment on the fact the vagina in R95''s link HAS TEETH?!

  OMG

• R112, I was waiting for someone to notice that!\ \ It looks exactly like little jagged teeth, LMAO!

  R95

• Ok to the people who are saying that women want to be like men: Actually, women do get erections. When a woman is sexually aroused, not only does she get wet, but her clitoris also becomes engorged with blood and gets hard and erect. The clitoris contains erectile tissue and is homologous to the penis. It's not feminism, it's science.

• Vagina is yucky.
