The clitoris is one of the more amazing, and too often under-appreciated, parts of the human body. Still, knowledge about the clitoris can be a little hit or miss.

That is, not a cherry on top that might or might not be involved in your life. Start your reintroduction to this seriously amazing body part with these eight amazing facts. What most people refer to as the clitoris is generally only the small hooded part of it that protrudes above the opening of the clitoral glans , which are attached to the Labia minora.
