For a good yoni massage it is important to understand the structure of the clitoris in detail.
For a long time, it was believed that the head of the female clitoris, which can be seen, is the entire clitoris.
In 1998, in Australia, gynecologist Helen O’Connell and her colleagues conducted a study of the clitoris using a method called magnetic resonance imaging, MRI. They determined its structure and relationships with surrounding organs.
In 2009, French researchers Pierre Folde and Odile Buisson supplemented the previous information using ultrasound.
Based on these studies, they created a three-dimensional model of the clitoris.
It consists of two cavernous bodies of the clitoris (corpus cavernosum, the head of the clitoris (clitoral glans), the legs of the clitoris (crus of clitoris), and two bulbs of the vestibule of the vagina (another name is the clitoral bulbs). The head is surrounded on the outside by a relatively mobile fold of skin – the foreskin of the clitoris (clitoral hood).
The clitoris and penis are homologous, that is, they developed from the same tissue during embryonic development and have a similar structure.
Unlike the penis, the clitoris does not contain a spongy body and the urethra running through it. In women, they are located slightly lower, between the clitoral bulbs.
The clitoris is closely connected to the tissues surrounding it – with the upper wall of the vagina and the urethra. Therefore, some researchers use the term “clitorourethrovaginal complex” (abbreviated CUV-complex) for this area.
The total length of the clitoris is on average from 8 to 12 centimeters. In rare cases – up to 20 centimeters.
The legs of the clitoris are located deep in the body and are almost inaccessible to touch. A small area where they can be lightly touched is a centimeter below the head and a centimeter to the side of the central line. Indirect impact on them occurs through the bulbs.
The bulbs are located just behind the labia minora, in a soft pits between two denser ligaments. They are accessible for massage.
In most women, the bulbs are in a dormant, insensitive state. Regular yoni massage allows you to turn them on – a clitoral orgasm occurs without touching the head of the clitoris.
Many inexperienced sexologists continue to claim that clitoral arousal depends on how the legs of the clitoris cover the vagina.
The vagina is covered not by the legs, but by the bulbs of the clitoris.
In the figures below, the clitoris with legs deep in the body and bulbs covering the urethra and vagina is highlighted in yellow. Between the bulbs is the urethra, which ends in the bladder. Below that is the vagina, into the far end of which the cervix enters.
In the pictures below, the clitoris is shown in green. Its legs run along the pelvic bones.
Other details of the massage are described in the online course about yoni massage.
