Wait … The clit does what?!

Generally, when you think about the word "migration," what comes to mind? Birds? Whales? You towards pizza?

That's nice. But a recent, ground-breaking discovery has revealed that something else migrates as well: the human-fucking-clitoris.

Yep; as if that thing weren't difficult enough to find, now it moves … which is probably why you can never find it, men! You're not an idiot! You're not an idiot! You're not an idiot!

According to a new study published in the journal Clinical Anatomy, clitori are restless wanderers that love to explore. This happens in particular during arousal, when researchers observed that the clit sometimes migrates towards the anterior vaginal wall.

Researchers made this discovery after attempting to investigate the difference in how men and women orgasm. They concluded that climaxing is easier for men (obviously), because their orgasms are the result of a clear connection between their nervous systems and their dicks. 

Bu when it comes to female orgasms, it's not so simple.

"For females, the autonomic component [of having an orgasm] is more complex," the authors wrote. "The clitoris is the primary anatomical feature for female orgasm, including its migration toward the anterior vaginal wall."

Apparently, it just kind of moves towards the front wall of the vagina during arousal and penetration. This explains why it feels really, really good for women when you push down gently on the area right above their public bone. That's the area that the clit is most liked moved to.

Of course, it's not like it picks up, does a little jig, then moves around the entire vaginal area doing figure-eights … it's more like different parts of it become more sensitive, and the sensitivity gets conveyed towards the vagina's front wall during penetration.

One of the study's authors, Jason Siegel (not that one) of Mayo Clinic, put it this way in an interview with the Daily Mail:

"… the clitoris during sex tends to migrate up toward the vaginal wall. If a woman is trying to achieve a vaginal orgasm, it seems like it tends to be more successful if the front wall of the vagina is more stimulated."

This is incredibly useful knowledge for any woman who has difficulty orgasming from penetrative sex alone … which of course is most women. Current figures estimate that between 75-80 percent of women cannot orgasm from pure vaginal. This is why Siegel advises that front-entry sexual positions like cowgirl and missionary that allow a person's fingers, penis or a toy to rub up against the vagina's front wall may be best for helping women come. Although, some angles of doggy style work real well for that too … not that we'd know or anything. If you can put some light pressure on her vagina's front wall via this method we reported about a while back, she might have a better chance of climax.

This discovery piggybacks on another recent, very important finding that the external portion of the clit is only the literal and figurative tip of the iceberg; research has revealed that the clitoris is actually a massive internal organ that wraps its "legs" around the vagina, increasing blood flow and pleasurable sensations.

In fact, as Mic reports, "Some researchers have even speculated that a "vaginal" orgasm is actually just a clitoral orgasm by another name, because much of the clitoral structure is internal rather than external, with the clitoris's "legs" extending inside the body."

Some specialists even think the G-spot is really just the clit in disguise:

"My view is that the G-spot is really just the extension of the clitoris on the inside of the vagina, analogous to the base of the male penis," Yale urologist Amichai Kilchevsky wrote in the Journal of Sexual Medicine back in 2012.

Well, if this study teaches us anything, it's that clit stuff isn't gonna get any easier in the near future, so we might as well educate ourselves as much as we possibly can about it. Just remember to bring a GPS and a scout next time you go hunting for clit.
