Perhaps one of the most elusive spots in a woman's anatomy is her clitoris. For some, its mystery is a source of frustration as the clitoris is often the key to triggering the female orgasm. In fact, it is not so difficult to find. The head, or glans, of the clitoris is located just below the top of where the inner lips of the vagina meet.

 

There is often a small flap of skin protecting it, and once lifted, the clitoris can be seen quite clearly. Think of the clitoris as a female's version of a penis. Biologically speaking, it is, although fluids do not pass through this area. During clitoral stimulation, as with penis stimulation, blood flow is increased.

 

This causes the clitoris to become erect, much like a penis. Of course, the size is drastically reduced, but some clitoral erections can be quite prominent.
