This is a tough question to answer because of levels.
(1) On a basic biological level penile function is vital to penetrative penile sex whereas the clitoris probably has none (okay before any caveman accusations are made just making a point)
(2) For some women on the enjoyment front, the clitoris is hugely important, the penile function is a tool rather than a vital of other complimentary enjoyments.
(3) So in reality we are looking for somewhere in the middle, that any coupling/group activity that wants male penile penetration needs some degree of penile function but I hope that nearly everyone involved would be considerate enough of any function that brings pleasure to a female.
So in conclusion, hard facts (excuse pun, couldn't resist) favour a bias to penile function but as I say we have evolved enough to get to a time where women can go I refuse to involve myself in a physical relationship that totally revolves around your penis solely unless she is a sex worker (different debate there)
None of the options suit me , I believe each relationship has its own dynamic.
first you'd have to actually define what you mean by "function" and "importance"? I mean what function is important in what way? If your talking about the ability to get erect then that is more important for penis's then clitoris's because otherwise your going to have minimal ability to actually have intercourse and by extension impregnate a woman and carry on your genes. If your talking about purely pleasure then both are equally important (why wouldn't it be?). So again you would have to define the terms before anyone could possibly answer it well enough to get any real information from it.

@Girther10 Nope (that would be very expensive), but I do a lot of research on my own (as you probably noticed) and asking the right question and having a clear definition of what your asking is very important if you wish to find the truth.
Wow! I’m happy so many people are saying “equal.”
Coverage in medical literature is about 40:1 (that’s less than the Medscape word count ratio for describing the two organs). Previously I’ve argued that clitoral anatomy should get just half the coverage of penile anatomy in medical literature. If this could be achieved, it would make a HUGE difference for women who suffer injuries, have vulvar surgeries, suffer from FSD, etc.
I voted equal, but I think I’d say the entire vulva is equivalent to the penis in importance. As follows, I want vulvar anatomy given equal attention as penile anatomy in medical literature.
Please find my reply to the original question posted by the person you are referring to here
Girls, how important do you believe the importance of your clitoral function is relative to penile function? Why?
My answer to your question does not differ to the one I gave to the original question.

What's Your Opinion? Sign Up Now!As far as I'm aware, the clitoris has no "function" that it performs. It has nerves that provide sexual pleasure, but apart from that plays no role in reproduction.
If the nerves in the clitoris aren't functioning there's probably some other sort of major nerve problem going on in the body, and in that case sexual pleasure is probably absent from your list of priorities.
Sexual pleasure plays a role in reproduction by motivating a woman to keep having sex and thereby reproducing
Right. It's a bundle of nerve endings, which themselves are not going stop working due to hormone deficiencies. It can't really fall into "dysfunction" unless there's a greater problem at play with your nervous system.
Some people don't feel pleasure when their clits or penises are stimulated. It's not like the clit or penis is numb, but the brain isn't interpreting the sensation as pleasurable, as is the norm.
I don't need a penis to make me orgasm but without a penis would a guy even try
Well the libido is governed by hormones, not the penis
Yes but guys want physical pleasure too. Their right to it through their penis is equal to my right through my clitoris.
Yes. Get on tinder and ask how many guys just want to eat you out without you ever reciprocating. You get TONS
Dumb question but what does penile mean? Google translate tells me it means penis. So are you asking wheter Penetration with a Penis ist more Important that clitoral Stimulation
The question is asking if you feel like your clit is as important as the penis
when I am with a lady I think I love, I don't think about myself, but more her pleasure, as she takes more time, more sensual kissing, and touching, cuddling, to get really aroused.
I like to focus on her, and making her feel amazing things, and maybe a few orgasms, before even considering sex, or anything for me. I'm a "Giver" and love when she just loves the things I do, that make her feel wonderful things!
For me, a lot of the time, her having that special joy is enough, and I don't need anything, but I am older, and I think differently, maybe.
The clitoris serves no obvious biological or evolutionary function in human females, so it's "importance" comes down solely to how much importance one subjectively attributes to it based on it's role in their sexual satisfaction and their sexual behavior in general.
If you, subjectively, attribute importance to it- great, make sure to actually *communicate* this with your partner and I'm sure they will keep that information in mind and make use of it accordingly (as long as you made the right choice of a sexual partner, of course).
But it is also entirely possible that one may find themselves not caring about their clitoris at all.
My sexual partner belonged into the apparent minority of women who seemingly prefer penetrative sex, their #1 turn on was to engage in sexual activity the moment one crossed the doorway- they didn't want you to say hi, have conversation or try to engage in foreplay, what they wanted was for you to undress them right as the door closes and bend them over.
They did not care for oral or being touched, but they would start sobbing uncontrollably 60 seconds into being penetrated.
Would I say that their clitoral function was important to them? Apparently not.
I'd say equal, they both have and equal part to play
@Jessica_Pin- why the fascination with the clitoris? Any particular reason? I mean I can get behind the fascination as well, especially if I can study it on live models... lol
A clit is basically the same as a dick!
The purpose of intercourse is not love, affection, sport, etc. It is reproduction.
If the penis does not erect and ejaculate, you have no heirs. If every cubic millimeter of the clitoral network is disabled, but a girl's ovaries and uterus are functioning normally, she can conceive, whether she is aroused and wants sex or not.. To wit: Muslim practice clitoridectomy and labiotomy and they reproduce like lemmings.
If the purpose is solely reproduction, then why are women sexually receptive all month long, despite being fertile only a few days a month (around ovulation)?
*I did not say "solely". *The purpose of eating is nourishment, but a Krispy Kreme donut, nourishes and and gives sensory pleasure but is not essential to survival. Ditto Guinness Extra Stout. Ditto Intercourse. *Women in the village or troop evolved (by Intelligent Design) menstruation to always be receptive because of the unpredictable home schedules of men. Men are validated by sex just like today. Women being receptive most of the time kept them coming home and not wandering off in packs, leaving women and children to fend for themselves like other mammals. Further, the menstruation schedules of women in the village tended to align and men knew to keep hunting Mammoths during that week and coming home the next... catching estrus. Smart G0d, isn't He?
Your food analogy isn't a valid analogy, because food always provides nourishment, but intercourse usually doesn't result in reproduction. Even if a woman is in her fertile few days, the chance is only 1/3, and if she's in her infertile 90% of the month, reproduction chances are close to 0. At least 90% of sexual encounters do not result in reproduction, so reproduction is irrelevant to at least 90% of sexual encounters. Speaking of God, Song of Solomon mentions female pleasure twice as often as male pleasure, and alludes to male-on-female oral 4x while referring to female-on-male oral 1x. The Bible elsewhere only commands women to satisfy their husbands to prevent adultery (Prov 5 & 1 Cor 7) but commands husbands to satisfy wives for its own sake (Exodus 21:10). Since you believe in intelligent design, the clitoris marks the absurdity of your claim "The purpose of intercourse is not love, affection, sport, etc. It is reproduction." As you said, a woman could theoretically still reproduce without a clitoris. So why does it exist? Women are designed to experience pleasure, and women experience pleasure all month long, compared to being fertile for only about 10% of the month.
I’d say the external clit is as important as the glans.
The vagina and total vulva combination is as important as the penis.
Clit = dick, just as important
well sex is hard if the penis isn't. girls can cum by other means than just stimulating their clit.
Most cannot
@Jessica_Pin so tell me how many girls can cum on a limp dick?
Nearly every woman who can cum can cum without a hard dick. Note how women masturbate. It doesn’t typically involve penetration
Blow jobs don't do anything for me, but I'm happy to go down because she can come in different ways. A clitoral orgasm and a penetrative orgasm.
Irrelevant.
Yeah because no woman would orgasm with you anyway so it doesn't matter
10 out 10 doesn't bother me.
mistixs is a virgin, she doesn't understand that women are not supposed to orgasm during sex.
To men it's equally as crucial and important.
To women it's equally as irrelevant and unimportant.
I voted equally important. Because, from what I've heard, it seems like the clitoris is an essential component of the female sexual experience. So it's not something that should be neglected. If the clitoris isn't brought into play then she probably won't have as much fun. So, since the sexual satisfaction of the female has equal priority to the sexual satisfaction of the male, then the clitoris is equally important to the penis.
I did F but meant G, they should be equally important to both.
Clitoral function as I understand from A&P really only serves as a pleasure organ because of its many thousands of nerve endings. It has no other real operational function besides that. Where as the penis is multi-functional. It is a waste depositor, it is used to provide stimulation not only to men, but to women, it protects the seed from a lot of the harmful substances in the women's vagina getting it as close to the implantation site as possible.
The clit isn't needed for sex or urination. The penis is needed. The clit feels better when stimulated, but the penis is more important in terms of usage.
The same for pleasure.
For reproduction the penis is equal to the vagina. Testicles are the equal to a woman's ovaries.
If you look at a man you can see male and female sexual organs come from the same genetic material. I've got a line running down my testicles down to my anus which would have been where my vagina would have been if I'd been female. All men have it.
