It’s more a wishbone than a bean.

We’ve all heard of flicking the bean, but did you know the clitoris is actually shaped more like that forked bone we sometimes fight over on Thanksgiving? In 1998, scientists discovered that the majority of the clitoris is actually internal, hidden from sight and is MUCH larger than anything previously imagined. The little nub we sometimes call the “man in the boat” – it’s actually called the glans – is merely the apex of the clitoris with the rest of it extending deep inside the pelvic region. That wishbone shape that allows it to connect to some important interior bits and pieces responsible sexual function and response, which all work together to help make sex feel good for her!

It has no purpose other than pleasure.

The clitoris’ single and sole function is to provide its “owner” with pleasure. In fact, it’s the only human organ that exists solely for pleasure – unlike the penis, which has important reproductive functions. (And makes it possible for men to pee.)

They get erect – just like penises.

Believe it or not, the clitoris and penis are quite alike! It has a glans (the “bean”), a foreskin (the clitoral hood), and is made up of erectile tissue that engorges with blood and gets hard when aroused and during sexual stimulation – and it relaxes and chills out after orgasm.

They’re responsible for the majority of women’s orgasms.

Contrary to old-school belief, the majority of women (some say up to 75%!) need some kind of clitoral stimulation to have an orgasm – no amount of thrusting, pumping or banging with a penis will get most women over the edge. And because the clitoris’ wishbone shape extends around the vaginal canal, women who DO orgasm from intercourse alone likely had the interior parts of the clitoris stimulated by the penis’ position inside.

So don’t worry if she doesn’t moan in ecstasy while you two get it on. She’s not broken and he’s not bad at sex – chances her she just needs a little clit action to help her along the way. (And there are some incredible sex toys out there to help make it happen faster and easier!)

They have twice as many nerve endings as penises.

Though seemingly small, the clitoris is a mighty pleasure player featuring about 8,000 responsive nerve endings – compared to the roughly 4,000 that the penis carries around. This is one of the reasons why some women find it almost painful to have their clitorises touched directly with the clitoral hood pulled back. Too many feels!

There’s no ONE WAY to stimulate it.

We’re constantly looking for the best, the correct, the most perfect way to make her cum (understandably so!) but believe it or not, every clitoris – and the woman attached – is like a snowflake. No two are alike physically or sensually, so chances are that the rulebook you read in Maxim or Cosmo isn’t going to apply to every woman on the block.

Instead, ask her what she likes. Maybe she’ll even show you – SUPER HOT FOREPLAY ALERT. Some women like soft strokes while others prefer hard pressure and there’s no way to know without asking the source. Because at the end of the day, only she really knows best – but if she isn’t sure, finding out what feels good together can be an amazingly intimate and sexy collaborative effort that could ultimately bring you closer as a couple. (Or at least closer to orgasm.)

BuzzFeed has just released a list of 16 sex toys that they believe are better than a boyfriend (or girlfriend, we might add!) and The Screaming O made it to two top spots. We were the ONLY manufacturer with popular sex toys for under $20 – some topped the charts at $200 or more! – which proves that some of the best orgasms come from small packages!

BuzzFeed staff member Casey Gueren recommended the My Secret Screaming O Vibrating Mascara for its compact shape and clever disguise – it literally looks just like a tube of mascara – and its ability to give powerful orgasms without a ton of effort. And next in line was the brand new Screamin Demon, which features little flexible horns that cradle the clitoris for better orgasms.

“It’s almost like a tiny little vulva, but with vibrations and horns,” Casey says. “Human anatomy can’t compete with that.”

And while that’s true, Screaming O representative Conde Aumann wants to remind sex toy shoppers that while these portable and affordable sex toys are great on their own, they can feel AMAZING when used with a partner!

“The Screaming O makes easy-to-use mini vibes and sex toys that help couples enjoy sex together with fun shapes, bright colors and really powerful motors,” Aumann says. “Our Vibrating Mascara and Screamin Demon feel amazing on nipples and testicles during foreplay and are so unobtrusive, they easily fit in your hand to give your fingers a break for those ladies who like (or need) clitoral stimulation in order to orgasm in certain sex positions.”

Check out Casey’s recommendations for yourself! The Screaming O sex toys are so affordable, you can buy more than one and see which one you – and maybe your partner – like the most!

The trusted folks at Women’s Health have once again recommended Screaming O products for better, more satisfying sex – this time experts suggest trying a Screaming O pleasure ring (also known as a cock ring) to help keep his erections harder and last longer in bed.

Sexpert Dr. Ava Cadell called out the Screaming O Vibrating Ring to help boost a man’s endurance without making it too obvious that you’re trying to help his erection stay hard and prevent him from coming too soon.

“It’s a flexible ring that stretches to any man’s size,” says Cadell. “You put it at the base of the penis, and it helps him stay harder longer because it traps the blood in his shaft.”

Because this clever sex toy for couples has a mini motor attached, it’s the best sex toy for women who need extra clitoral stimulation during intercourse.

“Some brands like Screaming O have pleasure rings that have vibrators on top to stimulate the clitoris,” says Cadell.

And that little vibrating motor can be the difference between good sex and incredible orgasmic sex – which one would you choose?
