When you think about the clitoris, you’re probably picturing that super-sensitive nub that’s visible on the outside of the body, located at the top of the vulva where the inner labia meet.

But there’s a lot more to the clitoris than meets the eye. In addition to the small nub, known as the glans clitoris, and the fold of skin protecting it, known as the clitoral hood, there are internal parts that don’t get the same attention.

The clitoral bulbs “wrap around the urethral opening ― where you pee ― and run down either side of your vaginal opening,” sex therapist Emily Morse explained in a post on her website.
