While many people enjoy penetrative sex, more than 80% of women have reported that they can’t reach the big O without additional clitoral stimulation.
And, with over 8,000 nerve endings, it’s no surprise that this part of the body is something that deserves attention.
Let’s look at how to stimulate your clit in this ultimate guide to clit stimulation.

The Loveangels Guide To Clit Stimulation

What Is The Clitoris?

The clitoris is a nerve-dense nub at the crest of the labia.
While that’s the spot we’re talking about, the clit is like an iceberg in that it’s much bigger than we may think.
In fact, sexologists have stated that the clitoris serves no purpose other than to provide pleasure.

Where Is The Clitoris?

The most common answer (and spot we’ll focus on) is the little pea-shaped “nub” at the crest of the labia.
It’s usually covered by a hood to prevent too much stimulation, and is often referred to as being shaped like a wishbone.
However, we can break up the anatomy of the clitoris like this:

Glans Clitoris

This is the external “nub” most people think about when picturing a clitoris.

Clitoral Hood

This is the hood that protects the clitoris from overstimulation.
When turned on, the hood retracts slightly to give better access to the clit.

Clitoral Body

This is entirely internal. It connects to the glans, and is suspended from the pubic bone via a ligament.

Corpora Cavernosa

The clitoral body consists of two of these masses of tissue that become erect when turned on.

Paired Crura

The clitoral body branches off to form two appendages, or “legs”.
These “legs” straddle the urethra and vaginal canal, and become enlarged when aroused.

Vestibular Bulbs

The vestibular bulbs form the shape of an upside-down heart, with the urethra and vaginal canal at the point where the heart curves.
These bulbs reach through and behind the labia, all the way to the anus, and also swell up when you’re getting turned on.

Now, let’s talk about clit stimulation.

How To Stimulate The Clitoris

Ask For Directions

While blogs like this are a great guide, not everybody’s anatomy is the same.
It’s important to ask your partner to guide your hand to where it is - there’s no shame in it!

Let Your Partner Take Control

Some people might not know where to start - and that’s okay!
Try cupping your partner’s vulva, and creating a firm base with your palm that they can grind up against.

Give Indirect Stimulation

The clitoris is more than just that single nub.
And, while some people enjoy clit stimulation, others might find that they’re too sensitive
In that case, stimulate the area around the glans, or the clitoral hood.

Play Around

Once you’ve got the right location, try playing around with different methods of touching it. 
Experiment with friction, speed, pressure, and angle.
Ask your partner to squeeze your hand, make a noise, or say something when it feels especially good.

Be Consistent

Once you’ve got something that works - keep at it.
Lots of people with clitorises have said that the most frustrating thing their partner can do is to change things up too much.
You don’t need to have a million tricks. If you find one that works, don’t be afraid to use it!

Clit Stimulation Methods

“Clit Clock”

Imagine that the clitoris has a clock on it, with the top point (the one closest to the belly button) is twelve, and the lowest spot (the one closest to the opening of the vagina) is six.
Move your hand from twelve to six and back up along your partner’s clit slowly, and ask them to tell you which spot feels best.

The Peace Sign

Cover your fingers with a lot of lube, and spread them to form a peace sign.
From there, slide them up and down on the inside of the outer lips.
This stimulates the internal structure of the clitoris, and focuses on a highly sensitive area.

“Rock-A-Bye Labia”

Spread your fingers, and lay them flat over your partner’s outer labia. From there, you can alternate pressure between your fingers.
By doing this, you’re stimulating the clitoral bulbs, which is essentially a way of signalling to the body that it needs to produce more lubrication, and increase sensitivity.

Suction Vibrators

Adult toys are definitely there to aid pleasure - and give a lot of love to the clitoris.
Clit sucking vibrators like the Satisfyer Pro Penguin Next Generation are designed to stimulate the clitoris by creating a suction that provides a lot of pleasure.

Manual Suction

While clit sucking vibrators are great for clit stimulation, there’s no beating some tongue love.
Try going down on your partner, and experiment with tongue placement, movement, and pressure.

Conclusion

While it’s a nerve-dense body part, the clit often doesn’t get a lot of love.
And it’s one of the easiest ways to ensure everybody’s enjoying themselves.
Keep this guide in mind next time you step into the bedroom.
And remember - consent is sexiest of all!
