Document Summary

Clitoris has a rich supply of nerve endings, making it very sensitive to stroking. Is the only part of the sexual anatomy that has no known reproductive function: mons pubis rounded, fatty pad of tissue, covered with pubic hair, at the front of the body; it lies on top. Female sexual organs of the pubic bone: labia the outer lips (labia majora) are rounded pads of fatty tissue lying along both sides of the vaginal opening; they are covered with pubic hair. The inner lips (labia minora) are two hairless folds of skin lying between the outer lips and running right along the edge of the vaginal opening. Inner and outer lips are well supplied with nerve endings and thus are also important in sexual stimulation and arousal. A pair of small glands, the bartholin glands, lie just inside the inner lips their function is unknown, and they are of interest only because they sometimes become infected.
