      The investigation team are dumbfounded that their most promising lead, the grapefruits scientific name Citrus × paradisi, turned out to be false.

      Work continues despite the setbacks, and it’s expected to yield results around the same time as nuclear fusion.

    And yet they are the same thing, one just doesnt have a urethra running through it. Literally look up big clits, theyre just micro penises.

      Pretty much actually, yeah.

      The clitoris almost literally is the feminine penis.

      Not exactly the same obviously, but… probably a lot closer than most people would think.

          The hell is an “anal pit”. I’m kinda scared to look bit up as it seems to be a foetus only thing?

            We’re all assholes before we’re born

            Deuterostomes (from Greek: lit. ‘second mouth’) are bilaterian animals of the superphylum Deuterostomia (/ˌdjuːtərəˈstoʊmi.ə/),[3][4] typically characterized by their anus forming before the mouth during embryonic development.

            https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deuterostome

            I’ve no idea is this in any way related to the anal pit in the picture but just remberered it and though, maybe?

          Hah!

          No, its more like uh… a cock has two symmetrical spongey areas that more or less remain as one shaft, and sort of act as a root that goes deeper into the body… IIRC, that ‘root’ is connected via tendons to the pelvic floor muscles…

          … whereas a clitoris has those two spongey areas split, and sort of straddle around the vaginal opening, and they remain nearer the skin, not really acting as a root, and either are not connected to the pelvic floor muscles, or the configuration is different.

          That illustration is … much simplified down to just the analagous tissues in typical sexual dimorphism, it does not include the rather complex array of muscles and tendons and organs all in or around the pelvis as well.

          I am not an expert, but… presumably, an intersex individual may… have some kind of configuration that is somewhere inbetween these two idealized types… but again, I am very not sure about that.

          It is probably more complex than that, given that there are different chromosomal genotype configurations that I think all fall under the rough term of intersex… and it could be more complex beyond that.

    Semi related:

    Has ‘science’ figured out whether or not all women actually have gspots or not, what sizes they tend to be, how ‘sensitive’ or ‘pleasureful’ they are?

    Last time I looked into papers on it, it … looked somewhat non definitively conclusive, but it looked like some women just do not actually have them, or … report not believing they have one… some do report that they have them, and I’d seen a wide range of numbers as to how common either of those is.

    Basically… it doesn’t appear to be an actually physically distinct thing, as a unique anatomical component, it seems to be essentially an emergent phenomenon from extensions of the nerve network of the clitoris, near the Skene’s gland …

    I dunno yeah, in my uh… anecdotal experience, I can say that roughly, the area has a bit of different texture than the rest of the vagina, but also yeah, the degree to which this texture is different varies, the degree to which it is uh, more or differently sensitive also varies, and the size of it also varies.

    And of course, all of that varies on the actual arousal level of the vagina haver.

    … Are there by chance any gynecologists or sexologists or something that maybe know of more up to date studies to point at?

    EDIT:

    Also, possibly more on topic… probably do not get a susbtantial amount of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice onto a clitoris or on or in a vagina.

    That… is probably gonna sting, and potentially also fuck up the PH balance inside a vagina.

    But also, how tf would they know, anyone notice the amount of research done on women, they know nothing about menopause, something that’s extremely debilitating for 50% of the population. They don’t even know anything about the bits they do know about. I bet there’s more to learn, based on that, alone.

    So women are better than men? Was that the intended implication? Maybe I’m just insecure, as surely nobody would mean to imply that…

      The general purpose of this statement is a refutation of cultural ideas that women’s pleasure in sex is less important than men’s.

      The clitoris being fhe only organ exclusively for sexual pleasure is a double edged sword, it’s why surgical procedures like clitoral amputation are sometimes called circumcision and practiced on a cultural level and why cultures are able to reject the value of the female orgasm (as the male orgasm is necessary for reproduction). But at the same time it’s a statement of how sexual pleasure is a part of the natural human condition and mutually so.

      The statement also comes from pro sex feminists refuting anti sex feminists who tried to frame sex as something harmful men do to women. This framing instead argues that sex is supposed to be pleasurable for women and that the clitoris is something special to be celebrated

      You’ve got to be in a real weird place to take it that way bro…

      I don’t know what the original implication is, but I think it’s a common idea that women have more difficulty reaching orgasm than men, especially during sex/intercourse with a partner, especially male.

      Framing the clitoris as an exclusively sexual organ with “twice the sensitivity” of a penis looks to put this “consensus” into question, so I presume the original goal is to make us question what else is going on, since it’s not rooted in a physical shortcoming.

      The comment is a joke on the also prevalent notion that men are bad at pleasing their partners, either by ignorance or by selfishness (which gets mocked as ignorance too), as he demonstrates his ample knowledge of clitoris by pointing out they aren’t found inside grapefruits.

      In any case, not a novel discussion or joke, and definitely not something to go all incel over.
