The clitoris is not a button — it's more like a wishbone.
When most people think of the clitoris, they think of the small visible part. But research indicates that it actually has branches that extend down underneath the skin, along either side of the vulva, kind of in a wishbone shape. "These branches can potentially be stimulated from the outside," Debby Herbenick, Ph.D., associate professor at Indiana University and author of The Coregasm Workout (Seal Press, 2015), told BuzzFeed Life. GOOD TO KNOW.
What you think is your vagina is probably actually your vulva.
The vulva refers to the outside, visible parts of your genitalia. It encompasses basically everything you can see — the labia, the clitoris, the urethra, the vaginal opening, and so on — and it's usually what most people mean when they say "vagina."
The vagina, on the other hand, is the muscular passageway that connects the vulva to the cervix.
All vulva images in this story were created by artist Erin Tobey as part of a Kickstarter project by Dr. Herbenick and Vanessa Schick, Ph.D., assistant professor at the University of Texas School of Public Health. The project, What Do You Like About Your Vulva and Vagina? A Poster Project, celebrates the awesome diversity of vulvas.
