A clitoris is an erectile tissue and nerve endings that encompass the entire female genitals… with its visible part situated above the vaginal opening.

The entire clitoris

The head of the clitoris, which is often taken as the ENTIRE clitoris, is the visible part we see on the outside – the tiny pink button situated above the vaginal opening or vaginal entrance which often conceals itself under a small hood of skin.

…the rest of the clitoris is completely internal – it goes deep inside the female body where it encircles the entire area of the genitals.

So, what is visible or what we see on the outside – the tiny pink button situated above the vaginal opening – is just the head of the clitoris.

…the entire clitoris (the hidden structure) is about four or five inches long that extends into the female body.
