Some people say that the clitoris is flawed for not being placed in the vagina. But the clitoris's placement outside of the vagina allows the clitoris to be stimulated to orgasm, even when there's no penetration & therefore, no risk of pregnancy. & It's still positioned in such a way that it can easily be manually stimulated to orgasm during penetration.
It's not the clitoris's fault that our current society prioritizes the activities that give the most physical pleasure to males (such as penetration) over the activities that give the most physical pleasure to females (via clitoral stimulation). The Bible's Song of Solomon references male-on-female oral sex multiple times.
Before someone says that the clitoris is a byproduct of the penis: that myth drives me crazy because it makes no sense because if that was the case, women would pee out of their clitorises like men pee out of their penises.
Is the clitoris flawed?

What Girls & Guys Said
19 53Evolution is complicated. Human and societal interactions are complicated. Having children is necessary for our genes to propagate but so is having parents stick together to raise them. If every time a couple had sex they also had kids, it would be really difficult to raise them all. The position of the clit probably played some part in that balance. We need to be social creatures to survive in large groups and recreational sex plays a part in that.
Are you proposing that the external part of the clit helped encourage sex without reproduction? If so, I wonder why a male equivalent has not also developed.
What the guy was talking about is just the glans clitoris, the structure of the whole clitoris is perfectly placed as it is still stimulated even through vaginal intercourse. And the glans is basically a small penis so it makes sense that it is in the same place soooo...
I'm claiming its not
A penis is flawed for not having bunny ears that stimulates the clit. This would more or less be the perfect penis:
You don’t have to sex with a human then
This is a very interesting question. The clitoris certainly deserves a lot of attention. I've often thought just what you mentioned (and rejected as an argument) about the location of the clitoris: Why is it located in such a way that it's not directly stimulated during intercourse? In other words why isn't intercourse something which makes guys and girls equally likely to orgasm? Because for most girls they don't orgasm from intercourse alone. And you're absolutely right about the clitoris not being an offshoot of a penis. Embryologically a penis would more accurately be considered a "byproduct" analogue of the clitoris rather than vice versa. That's because of the fact that the default course of embryologic development is female. The effects of the Y chromosome only kick in later in development and the tissues which would by default become a clitoris become a penis instead.
So we are where we are with regard to the location of the external part of the clitoris. As you mention there are lots of ways to address this and give it the attention it deserves both during intercourse and with standalone stimulation like that mentioned in Song of Solomon.
I wrote a TON of answers on Quora about this before I was banned. in my opinion female orgasm plays a huge role in mate selection. The female needs evidence a man will make an effort please her *before* penetration occurs.
The clitoris isn't a byproduct, it's the precursor to the penis. All started with the "female" blueprint before being assigned a gender/sex.
The clitoris isn't flawed for humans. It does its job in humans. It doesn't do anything for the vast majority of other mammals in the animal kingdom.
It is flawed though, like most of beautiful nature. None of it is perfect.
Not true. We don’t know that it doesn’t motivate sexual activity in non humans like in humans.
There are less than 15 animal species on the planet that have intercourse for pleasure and not just for reproduction. The clitoris serves no reproductive purpose whatsoever. It is there as a way to grant sexual pleasure to the recipient. You are probably right though... The animals that have sex for pleasure are possibly motivated by what the clitoris can do... But let's be real... Most males don't care. Nature doesn't care about female orgasm overall because it serves no reproductive purpose. That's just part of the flawed beauty.
Female sexual pleasure serves just as much reproductive purpose as male sexual pleasure unless you’re proposing that the males in allegedly one sided species Are all rapists
Our closest animal relative, the bonobo, has sex for pleasure all the time
I don't see what the female orgasm does for reproduction. I love to get my partner off, but if she doesn't have one, my first thought isn't "Well, I guess we aren't having kids." Yes, @mistixs I know. It's one of those less than 15 animal species that do. The vast majority of the planet doesn't. @Jessica_Pin You're really taking what I said out of context. I'm not saying that female sexual pleasure isn't important, I'm just saying that you're not going to reproduce because you have an orgasm. You kind of need sperm alone and that's it... Insemination, in-vitro fertilisation, and that other thing... It is done with the male side of things. Sure, pre-ejaculate can contain semen, which might contain sperm, but usually the actual ejaculation and the jamming of the penis as far as it will go during orgasm is what usually does it... Reproductive purpose... Is like the vagina going through menstruation... There's a reproductive purpose for it... Males ejaculate into the vagina... Which animals try to get the sperm to the egg in waiting, if there is one; and the female orgasm doesn't do anything to assist with that. You cannot suggest that a female having an orgasm has anything to do with a woman with accidental pregnancy, planned pregnancy or the like. You want a child, you're going to need a human male, and you're going to need sperm, which usually doesn't come out without sexual stimulation and a potential male orgasm.
This is a 2 month old opinion... Why are you skimming through this now? @Jessica_Pin
The female orgasm motivates her to keep having sex, which increases her chance of reproducing. And orgasm isn't necessary for ejaculation. It's called ejaculatory anhedonia; it's possible to release semen without orgasmic pleasure. For both men and women, orgasm serves to motivate people to pursue their respective reproductive strategies
So for the females that do not have an orgasm... Other than the general pleasure because women do not get off to the same thing across the board, what is there for it? Bonding? They clearly aren't in it for the orgasm if they have never had one and don't know how to achieve one. I would rather not get into the latter part of that. That's a whole other tub of rats.
For some, not all women, its position is flawed. Yes, parts of it surround the vagina, but the glans, the focal point of pleasure, is literally high and dry on many/most women; having vertically long vulvas. With the volume of erotic pics and vids on the net, it is easy to see that some girls are vertically compact and the fore stroke of intercourse draws both the urethra and glans clitoris into the vagina. My guess is that these girls have a much easier time reaching orgasm from intercourse.
It's not difficult at all for people to just rub the clitoris.
Of course. But as as an accessory to sex, its location is flawed.
Regardless, you asked me earlier for a source for my claim that in Puritan America, women were allowed to divorce their husbands who couldn't sexually satisfy them. Here:
books.google.com/books
@Kurαȷ since you just told me that historically, patriarchal societies didn't care about female pleasure, you might also like to take a look.
I think its location is great. It means the man who takes the TIME to stimulate the high and dry location is the better sex partner, a likely pair bonder and the woman will stay with him longer to produce more children which he will help raise because of the bodacious and frequent orgasms he gives her!!!
@Screenwriter Ahh Like driving a 5-speed instead of an automatic. Separates out those with skills.
The men from the boys!!! Egggg actly...
Maybe this is why I've always preferred manual shift cars... hmmmm
@Screenwriter Clean 1994 C4 5-speed in the driveway. I am a maestro at oral. She cums virtually every time.
The clit is not flawed. It actually flows into the vagina itself. The gspot technically is pressure on the clit but internally.
I'm happy with the way things are - and have no issues with women not experiencing orgasm during sex.
The clitoris isn't flawed, rather the portrayal of how to pleasure women is flawed. Mens view on how to pleasure women is based on porn, which most men have watched, or still watch. In porn women are pleasured through what gives men the most pleasure, penetration.
So at the end of the day porn and lack of education is the problem.
No it's not flawed but most women experience orgasm from the Clitoris.
No, generally it evolved perfectly because if a man has a tapered or stepped girth nearer to his pubic bone it will stimulate the clitoris via the sexually aroused and swelled bulb of vestibule and labia. The labia pull on the hood/prepuce and stroke the clitoris/glans externally during thrusting. The bulb of vestibule swells during arousal pushing out her vulva and tightening the opening. Since it is erectile tissue, just like the clitoris and connected to the clitoris, abrupt changes in penis girth during thrusting pulses the bulbs, which also pulses the clitoris directly through the blood pulses into the clitoris stimulating it internally. The bulbs change pressure according to his penis-shape-thrust and that is transferred to the clitoris directly. The right penis shape and the right clitoris can naturally give her orgasms. Short strokes can really work this if he has a good girth step.
Oral is really for when things don’t work too good e. g. the pill typically kills this sensitivity and/or some women have really tiny clits that take a lot of work. A good-sized clit, no-pill (natural cycles), girth-taper and size usually result in piv natural orgasms.
Also, during development, if the fetus is male the ambisexual genital tubercle forms into a penis but if it is female it splits into a urethra and clitoris. They did start out similar.
No Matter how clit is..
People who waste time discussing it.
Instead of taking another mile trying to please the girl.
Are the problem..
It's perfect the way clit it..
And if any other way it was it would still be perfect..
Because the men who are willing to go an extra mile to made their women happy will do it
That's another reason why the clit is outside the vagina: so the man needs to show that he's considerate enough to stimulate her clit, instead of just jamming his dick in her vagina for his own pleasure. If a man doesn't show that he cares about giving her pleasure, that shows he's selfish & won't sufficiently support her during pregnancy and thereafter. So many women will dump a guy who won't make an effort to make her orgasm, because it proves he's a low-quality mate. And if a woman has an orgasm during foreplay, that usually makes her more excited to be penetrated by him (& therefore take the chance of reproducing with him). These functions would be nullified if the clitoris was inside the vagina & could only be stimulated if a woman had already taken the risk of pregnancy with the guy.
These guys who think the clitoris is flawed for not reliably inducing orgasms during penetration are just bitter that they would have to make an effort to make a woman orgasm, which proves that they wouldn't be good mates for women to risk reproducing with.
It's designed that way so that men would use their hands.
God made males and females and saw that it was good. Gen 1: 27-31
God made perfect humans, including genitalia.
😅🤣
I thought that said is the clitoris flavored, for a second lol
it's not flawed. "flaw" is a normatively loaded term. orgasms are not something that women need for procreation to work, therefore there was no evolutionary need for women to have orgasms. lots of them still can have them. good for them.
There's no need for men to have orgasms either. Men can ejaculate without orgasms; it is called ejaculatory anhedonia. It's almost like orgasms, for both men and women, aren't a necessity, but have the function of encouraging men and women to pursue their ideal sexual strategies (which for women, is to find a high-quality mate, which is why women orgasm more often with attractive and/or wealthy men).
no, men can not usually do that. i can attest that, because i'm a man and i can't make my dick to shoot out semen without having an orgasm just like all the other men that i've ever known. surely all the men i know is not a representative sample size but well, what you described is a "disorder" and not a normal function of the male body. it would be quite dumb if that's how male worked, because again speaking evolutionary, it would be a huga waste of energy if you'd just cum without sexual arousal all the time because creating semen needs energy and wasting energy is not something that could survive in evoliton so in conclusion: it is necessary for the man to have an orgasm in order for procreation to work, because the male does not have the conscious control over the muscles that are needed in order to cause ejaculation. having an ejaculation without sexual stimulation is not something, "healthy" men are capable off. of course technology today makes it "not needed" but well that technology emerged far after the most recent human evolutionary steps.
It's a disorder that proves that men could very well have evolved to ejaculate without orgasm. Also I did a poll on here & most guys said that they have ejaculated without orgasm before. I think you're referring to something different though. You keep saying "it makes no sense for men to ejaculate without sexual arousal or sexual stimulation." Sexual arousal or sexual stimulation =/= orgasm. If an "orgasm" to you is simply "sexual arousal" or "sexual stimulation" then you must have pretty weak orgasms.
oh sorry i thought we were talking about reality and not everything between heaven and hell that might have existed if the stars had aligned :D
let me rephrase what i said: it makes no sense "from the perspective of evolution" to ejaculate when there's no woman around to ejaculate into in order to procreate. that is why men do not ejaculate ahedonicly.
presence of a woman in order for the sexual organs to start doing their work and then ejaculating semen once the male sex organ is inside the female procreation orfice is a necessary condition for procreation. the woman does not require to do anything. the semen itself will do the thing that is needed in order to fertilize an eg without her doing anything for it.
Have you ever ejaculated without orgasmic pleasure? ↗
More than half of men said they've ejaculated without orgasmic pleasure.
Just because a man didn't orgasm didn't mean a woman's not around, or that he wasn't sexually aroused or being sexually stimulated.
What happens is that the man has a boner, his dick gets stimulated (by himself or a partner), and he ejaculates, but without the orgasmic pleasure.
that's a weird way to interpret what guys picked in this poll that you made. to me the poll says that over 90% of guys usually ejaculate when they orgasm xD Just because a man didn't orgasm didn't mean a woman's not around, or that he wasn't sexually aroused or being sexually stimulated. true. that's because i didn't claim that. also makes no contribution to the point you or me are making so what are you trying to say with this? What happens is that the man has a boner, his dick gets stimulated (by himself or a partner), and he ejaculates, but without the orgasmic pleasure. yes that is what you just found out very rarely happens. do you usually define reality with the things that happen the least? like 1 in 100 children will have gender issues down the road. that means by your standards that children will have gender issues down the road xD
i had one or the other ruined orgasm in my life where it didn't feel good but i still ejaculated and i can understand how some guys may not label it an orgasm.
yet you're still looking at the exceptions to define reality. that's not how it works. realityis defined by what usually happens, not by the exceptions. the exceptions define... well exceptions. it's in the name dude xD
Yes it sometimes happens & proves that male orgasm isn't a necessity for reproduction.
The Vulva is perfect.
I adore the way it was designed.
It's Perfection women call it the cute little button
God bless you, woman.
