The clitoris has a rather curious history of knowledge, oblivion and rediscovery. Known since ancient times, it has been ‘rediscovered’ several times, but also culturally suppressed for centuries. Complete scientific understanding has only existed since the end of the 20th century.
Depending on the study, 75 to 84% of people do not know what they are looking at when shown a model of the clitoris. In German schoolbooks she wasn't fully showed until 2022.
Ridiculed for being small, kept secret, reduced to a pearl. Even today, girls all over the world are raised to believe that they have ‘just a hole’ down there. But the splendour they have between their legs is simply wonderful. You could almost be envious of the clitoris: a mixture of a spaceship, a kite and a Concorde.
