It’s time to talk about erections, because let’s face it, they’re pretty important for multiple reasons. But did you know that women have erections too? Stay tuned to hear all about how the female erection works.
We know that male erections help with the release of sperm cells in reproduction. So let’s find out if the female erection is just as important for reproduction, or if it’s just for fun!
Firstly male and female erectile tissue structures are surprisingly very similar. In Females the clitoris extends back into the body (usually close to 4 inches!) and around the vaginal canal. If you were to extract the clit entirely from the body, it’d look a bit like a wishbone. When aroused, blood rushes to the erectile tissue that makes up the clit (the same tissue as in a penis), causing it to become engorged. This is a clitoral erection.
When erect, the part of the clit you can see (the glans) will peak out of the clitoral hood and grow in size 50 to 300 percent and the vaginal lips will swell during arousal so that they are two to three times bigger than usual.
As you may have guessed this engorging and blood flow makes the clit very sensitive which can lead to great orgasms and sexual pleasure! The best part is that anyone with a vulva can experience this!
Here are a few tips to get the most out of the female erection:
Touch it! Tapping, moving your fingers around in clockwise and counterclockwise circles, stroking it up and down or side to side, and touching the sides of it. Experiment and see what feels best!
Use a sex toy! Again test drive a few to see what works best for you and which type of stimulation you prefer. Sex toys are not a one size fits all so play!
Try edging, tak yourself or have a partner get you close to orgsm and then back off, do this multiple times and let the tension build. This will give you a strong orgasm that you’ll be begging for.
Work thos pelvic floor muscles. We always stress doing those kegels and we have some tools to help you! KegelBlast kegel bells!
