How did you find out about clitoris?

[MarlowBunny]

If you have one, did you discover it before you had a name for it?
If you're clitoral challenged (a guy), did school give you the critical clue? Did a girlfriend explain? Was it Penthouse letters?

In my own case, I was 15 and fairly familiar with my 14 year old girlfriend's goodies. I previously read the word "clitoris" (probably in a friend's stollen Penthouse forum) but couldn't correlate the text to the reality.

If my girlfriend knew about it, she didn't tell me!

School never mentioned the clitoris in words or diagrams. Only directly reproductive female internal organs were described to the boys who were segregated from girls for those lessons. I wonder if the girls were given more comprehensive instruction?

I envy kids these days who have access to so much information including this gem viewed almost 34 MILLION times so far: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Lu0qhRrIow

Or even this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulva

I especially like this for some reason http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Female_sexual_arousal.JPG How long does a poor boy have to exist before witnessing that?

Clitoris? What's that?

 

[Tio_Narratore]

It was included in "the Talk" from my father. My girlfriend had discovered hers before then, and called it "my bump." She was pleased that it had a real name, and even more pleased when I tried the things my father had suggested one might do with it.

i found a book about masturbation in the living room when i just discovering that activity, i think i learned about it (and some of the things one can do with it) from there....

i saw the book again lying around when my brother was about that same age, and commented to my dad on having read it years earlier... turns out, my dad was leaving it to be found on purpose each time one of his kids was that age, in the hope of making us realise that masturbation is normal, everyone does it, and we should not feel ashamed about it...

My first lover was five years older than me 14/19 so she told me straight off to lick her "clit" I think I probably didn't hear the "full name" for it until a couple of years later in a sex ed class.

I read about in Playboy. I was probably 11 or 12. A few years later, the information was very valuable. In those days, girls were reluctant to let a boy put his hand down her pants, and it was easier if she actually enjoyed what you were doing.

Everything I ever really needed to know, I learned from Playboy.

Why didn't she go to jail? Don't you feel like an exploited victim with life long trauma? What did she see in you? How did you cope with the emotional mismatch if any? [I used sarcastic voice]

It was so long ago I've completely forgotten.

To answer your questions well of course I felt exploited but who would believe me?

yes I have had life long trauma the results of which I still feel every time I wrote another dirty story

She saw a desperate young boy that would do anything for her!

Emotions? there were supposed to be emotions?

A girl in my neighborhood introduced me to her 'Little Man in the Boat' around the same time I discovered what fun it was to 'Box Ol' Josh'. We spent many happy hours getting each other off behind her father's garage, but only 'did it' twice. While I was in service she married some guy who drove a bread truck and they moved away.

I didn't buy them. I was 11 years old. My father had a subscription. Playboy was the first magazine to honestly talk about men's sexuality and responsibilities. Before Playboy, "men's" magazines had stories about combat teams of Amazon women and secret agents whose secret super power was the ability to drink a gallon of scotch and still walk.

Playboy was the first to talk about "your turn-my turn" sex. From the early 1920's, the marriage manuals (that's what sex how-to books were called) taught couples to work toward simultaneous orgasms. Men were told to hold off with breathing exercises and thinking of baseball. The male orgasm was seen as an irresistible force of nature, a time bomb with a short fuse.

Playboy said this was bullshit. The man's job was to insure his partner's pleasure matched his. If he came and she didn't, he was basically a bad host and threw crummy parties. A man who understood the concept of multiple orgasms could throw a very nice party. Then, it was his turn.

Along with learning how to buy a suit which fit and how to order a meal in a fancy restaurant, it was very valuable information.

There was an episode of Seinfeld where Jerry was dating a girl but he never caught her name, his only clue was her name ryhmed with a part of the female anatomy.

After thinking of Mulva and Aretha Jerry was stumped, it was only after she left him for not knowing her name that it came to him, "Dolores!"

I didn't get it and had to have my mom explain it to me.

Seriously one of the most embarassing moments in my life.

Clitoris? What's that?

Pretty much the same boat here.

I thought mine was going to grow longer and turn into a penis.

 

[loumey1]

Sex Ed in school was pretty much a joke. I thought that my clit was my urethra.

I didn't know anything until later when I was getting serious with someone and started to do research. Thank goodness the internet was around is all I have to say about that.

Best I can recall, my wife gave me the short course on it on our wedding night. I was a virgin; she wasn't.

 

[Darkniciad]

Good general idea from lesbian porn, followed by extensive tutoring by a gorgeous, neglected, 30-something housewife when I was 19. Hood rings are extremely handy ( if she can handle that much direct stimulation )

When my panties diden't fit anymore.

 

[bronzeage]

A clitoris can be turned into a penis, but it can be traded for many penises.

 

[Zeb_Carter]

I had a girlfriend who allowed me to explore her...neither of us knew the proper name until we were reading a book in the library...Gray's Anatomy...it had marvelous color pictures.

After that she used to make me suck on her clit every night.
