In recent years, the clitoris has finally taken the place it deserves in sex education, to the point of becoming a pop symbol. In the street, on Instagram, on clothes, or jewelry, this too often neglected organ is now displayed everywhere. With its thousands of nerve endings, the clitoris is undoubtedly the female organ that gives the most pleasure. But, do you know your clitoral hood? The "hood" or "clitoral foreskin" is that little piece of skin that covers the glans. Just like the foreskin covers the head of a penis. In most cases of clitoral anatomy, you should be able to fully retract the hood and see the clitoral glans full.
In an Instagram post liked by more than 3000 people, the sex blogger Masha Sexplica returns to this little-discussed subject: "Did you know that a foreskin of a clitoris pops out? Did you even know that a clitoral glans had a foreskin? Normally when you lift your foreskin, you see the glans clitoris appear with a small crown above as for the penises! "
When you are aroused, the clitoral glans swells, which pushes back the hood to reveal the clitoris. But sometimes some clitoral hoods do not retract or get stuck. “By regularly mobilizing the foreskin, we prevent it from sticking to the glans and completely trapping it. If you injure yourself, if you never move your foreskin, if there is an accumulation of smegma (a mixture of secretion from the sebaceous glands and dead cells, editor's note), the hood closes over the glans. The results ? Inability to see the glans of the clitoris come out of the foreskin, hypersensitivity, persistent genital arousal syndrome, accumulation of smegma and infection … 22% of the clitoris could be affected. It is enormous. Because of what ? Disinformation around the health of her vulva and simple steps to take care of it ” Masha continues.
In an article for the American site Refinery, Rachel Rubin, urologist and specialist in sexual medicine explains: “Sometimes the clitoral hoods (especially the larger ones) can get stuck, what doctors call 'clitoral adhesions.' In fact, recent research has shown that 23% of women who go to a sexual medicine clinic for some reason have clitoral adhesions. From a medical point of view, this is usually not serious, but it can be painful or interfere with the way you access the clitoris and the pleasure you derive from it. " And to add: “Some clitoris are subject to adhesions because of their structure. What happens is sweat, skin cells, and bacteria build up around the clitoris and cause inflammation. In women, it can cause clitoral pain, hypersensitivity, or difficulty reaching orgasm. "
For uncapping the glans from the clitoris, just pull the cap up gently, explains the sex blogger. “No need to force normally and it should be painless. At the slightest doubt, we do not hesitate to consult ”, she recalls.
Masha also discusses clitoral phimosis, also rarely mentioned (the results on Google speak for themselves). "The glans cannot pass its head out of the foreskin or not completely because the latter is too short". To prevent this phimosis of the clitoris, the blogger advises "Massage the area". "But when it's set up properly, apart from operating, it's very complicated to act otherwise," she warns. “Only a few specialists are trained on the subject in France. To have names, you can contact her by DM ”.
Another thing that we would have liked to learn during sex education, and which shows that even today, the female sex or the vulva remains a taboo and unrecognized area. So thank you Masha.
