Ok, it's a bit of a long post but please bear with it.
Watching Naked Attraction, the UK TV show in which participants get to choose a date from a group of six naked contestants, my thoughts turned in the direction of the amazing differences there can be in the anatomy of individual women. It struck me (and some of the participants too) that, even though you might think you prefer a certain sort of body attribute, when it comes down to it something entirely different can be very appealing. Or, put another way, faced with six naked women it can be difficult to pick one. For the participants in NA it's even more difficult because they have to eliminate then one by one. But the variety is simply astounding.
One participant commented about the variation in length and position of women's slits and that set me thinking. They really do vary enormously. To be clear, I'm not talking about the vagina but the Cleft of Venus (or pudendal cleft as the medical books would have it), which starts just below the mons pubis, above the clitoris, and runs down past the entrance to the vagina to where everything comes together again at the perineum. On some women the cleft is tucked away under the body and pretty well hidden from a front view. On others the cleft starts way up the front. Compare, say, this well-hidden one with this one that might peek out of some bikini bottoms.
Related to this (possibly) is another question. A study carried out in 1924 by Princess Marie Bonaparte (a great-grandniece of Napoleon's and an associate of Sigmund Freud) suggested that the greater the distance between the clit and the cock in the vagina, the more difficulty a woman might have in reaching an orgasm during sex through lack of clit stimulation by the cock. Marie herself suffered from such a problem and she discovered that her gap was quite large. She measured a number of women and found a range of distances from 1.25cm to 3.5cm - a considerable difference.
(To be clear, especially for anyone wanting to try this out, Bonaparte's measurements were taken from the underside of the clit to the urethral meatus, the external orifice of the urethra, from which women pee. This is known by the rather appropriate though entirely coincidental acronym: the CUMD. I assume that this was because it's easier to measure from such a specific point than the rather larger target of the vaginal entrance.)
Bonaparte then asked the women whether they had a 'normal reaction' during intercourse. Unfortunately, she didn't define what she meant by 'normal reaction' nor did she tell the women or record precisely what she asked them, but it seems most likely that the women were being asked whether they experience orgasm during intercourse without any direct clitoral stimulation. There seemed to be a correlation: the greater the distance, the less likely the woman was to have a 'normal reaction'. This seems to tie up with my own personal experience (which, I hasten to add, sadly involves nothing like the sort of numbers needed for a proper scientific study) which has always led me to believe that a woman with a highly located clit needs separate clit stimulation to reach an orgasm, while those with it lower down will be stimulated 'naturally' while being fucked. A CUMD of around 2.5cm was around average in both respects.
It would be interesting to know from women on here whether this really holds true.
And back to the question of cleft length and position. Do women with a very long/highly-positioned cleft have a compensating long clit hood/clit combination that brings the clit back closer to the vagina, or is a long cleft with the clit near the top of it a sign of a longer CUMD?
Can any women on here add their statistics (or men on behalf of their partners)?
