Wait, does it even count if it’s still only women who can find it?
World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

We somehow mapped Narnia, Middle Earth and all the known Quadrants of Federated space before anybody thought to do this.
The dudes responsible for this couldn't find it
It's a lot easier to map a fictional thing. The clitoris is obviously not fictional.
Well now that we have a map, I may finally be able to find it.
You should've been asking for directions.
I am bad memorizing directions. A map is far more useful to me.
And in the 38th edition of Gray’s Anatomy in 1995 it was introduced as just “a small version of the penis”.
When in doubt, just say it's some type of penis.
Never fails.


will this be available on Google Maps?

That made me lol. Thank you
the old joke is "what nerve stimulates the clitoris?" "the hypoglossal"
/m/nottheonion
It doesn't say that the nerves extend to the vagina. Consequently, does the size of the penis matter?
So, the study is not actually out yet.
As the article says... its just a pre print.
A stage before the study is released, before peer review, etc.
What you are talking about is closer to the G Spot, which is even more poorly scientifically understood than the clitoris.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-spot
Based on my uh, life experience so far, my hypothesis is basically this:
Some women have them, others do not.
Of the women that do have them, they can be somewhat different shapes and sizes, but are generally in the same area, and you can generally feel them to have a somewhat distinct texture to the rest of the inner vagina.
For some women, a G Spot orgasm is a totally different kind of orgasm than a clitoral orgasm. I've been told that verbatim from more than one woman.
This would indicate to me that... something different is happening to different sets of nerves, in some way.
Beyond involuntary muscle spasms/clenching, sometimes this triggers female ejaculation, sometimes it triggers basically a bladder release ("squirting"), sometimes it triggers neither.
Some women basically require significant g-spot and or significant internal displacement to consistently/reliably climax, others do not.
Sometimes it varies based on other kinds of stimulation... various combinations of different kinds of stimulation... whole bunch of other potential things.
And again, for some, significant volume and / or specific g spot stimulation is either not at all or hardly a factor in their uh, enjoyment.
The actual structure of the clitoris is much more substantial than just the little nub that you can see externally. Its a complex shape, its kind of molded around a bunch of other different parts of the vaginal area, just under the skin, internal, between other organs and tissues.
This is part of why it has been so difficult to map properly... theres a whole lot of anatomical complexity going on there.
(The other part is basicslly sexism).
Some theories are indeed that some women have clitoral nerves that extend either into, or closer toward the actual vaginal wall at the g spot area.
Others focus on the kind of inverted Y shape that the clitoris structure makes under the skin, essentialy straddling the vaginal opening... those are parts of the clitoris and do have nerves, and are moved and thus stimulated when something enters the vaginal opening, or manually stimulates the area.
Still oher theories focus on the so called "Skene's gland", or female prostate, as potentially playing an important role in reaching climax for some women, as well as potentially producing essentially vaginal lubricant and female ejaculate.
tl:dr;
Vaginas and surrounding environs are actually fascinatingly biologically complex, and at least to me personally, seem to vary to a significant extent from person to person, in terms of what their possesors find most pleasurable.
Yes, more study is needed to determine whether clitoral nerves extend to other areas or there are other organs involved in female sexual pleasure.
does the size of the penis matter?
Not to lesbians. And some women who do have sex with men like the feeling of being filled up, while others don't. Some really dislike it when a guy's dick bumps their cervix during intercourse. I'm not hung like a horse, but vaginal depth can vary a lot between women (not all that closely correlated with body size), so with more than one partner, I've encountered that problem and have had to exercise greater care.
From the study, it appears that clitoral nerves don't extend into the vagina, which seemingly means a large penis doesn't affect pleasure derived from the clitoris.
There are other nerves all up in there as well.
