Full network of clitoral nerves mapped out for first time
"The clitoris has been ignored by researchers for far too long. It has been deleted intellectually by the medical and scientific community, presumably aligning attitude to a societal ignorance."
"The scans revealed in 3D the trajectory of the five complex tree-like branching nerves running through the clitoris in unprecedented detail, the widest 0.7mm across."
"This is the first ever 3D map of the nerves within the glands of the clitoris. She is amazed it has taken so long, considering a similar level of knowledge regarding the penile gland was reached back in 1998."
The clitoris, a key organ for sexual pleasure, has been mapped for the first time, revealing its complex nerve structure. This mapping corrects previous misconceptions about its anatomy, which have persisted due to cultural taboos surrounding female sexuality. Researchers used high-energy X-rays to create detailed 3D scans of the clitoris, uncovering five branching nerves essential for orgasms. This work aims to improve surgical outcomes for women undergoing pelvic operations, addressing the historical neglect of the clitoris in medical research and education.
