The Answer:
Dear luvin_D_4e,
The clitoris is the female sex organ. It's formed of spongy tissue and fills with blood during sexual excitement. It's very sensitive to the touch. The tip of the clitoris is located between the labia at the top of the vulva. The clitoris extends into the body up to five inches.
There's a small area called the Grafenberg Spot, or G-Spot, inside the vagina. It's located about an inch or so inside the vaginal opening on the upper vaginal wall closest to the bellybutton. The G-Spot is sexually sensitive and swells slightly during sex play and feels raised or bumpy.
Although all women have this tissue, some like their G-Spots stimulated as a part of sex play and others don't. And many notice no difference in sensation one way or the other. Many women have orgasms and about 10 percent can ejaculate when their G-Spots are stimulated.
Hope this information helps!
Take care,
