  • Actually it is the equivalent of the glans. The Y chromosome then kinda "pump" the whole thing into the final form of a penis but the exact anatomical match is between clitoris and glans. Also girls have a "shaft" but it's inside their bodies, under the clit. Hope to have helped :)

    • ya you helped thanks :)

    • You're welcome :) that makes me MHO? :)

    • oh yea sorry xD

  • It's made of the same sort of tissue. Women specially bodybuilders who take male steroids will have link feeling of the clitoris. Men who have to take female hormones for medical reasons will have shortening of their penis. So yes the tissue is very similar as is the functioning.

  • I think the clitoris is the original one (penis came after)

    So... When some people say women came from men, I say look at the evidence: its the reverse

    • That sounds like some shit from Jurassic Park When they said they made all the dinosaurs female so they couldn't reproduce But still did somehow, and even produced males

  • Yes, it is. All living creatures evolved from a unisex bacteria, that at some point in evolution split in male and female versions.

  • Basically. We all start out as female in the womb and you may morph to female.

  • No it is NOT. A penis is dual purpose. The clitoris is the ONLY human organ that's purely for sexual pleasure.

  • This will go a long way to show that it's by no means "underdeveloped". It's actually a better-developed and more optimized-for-pleasure version of what men have. (remove space from link)

    • i didn't know that o:

  • Everyone started out with a vagina soooo.

  • Apparently, yes.

    • So that means girls are really guys who haven't sprouted yet. *sigh* damn it

  • I've always thought of the clitoris and penis to have
    a similar characteristics but who knows.

  • Yes, and chickens evolved from T-Rex's.

  • it is the same tissue as the penis and when a girl gets really turned on the it gets hard like a tiny penis. The part under the hood is the same as the male glans and is full of nerves. The clitoris however extends back and part of it is the G spot

  • I think the clit is and undeveloped cock, and giving a girl head leads to thinking its ok to suck a cock too:-) Hey, both are tasty right?

  • As all babies are actually female until Y chromosome kicks in, you could kinda say that a penis is a developed clitoris

  • I do not think so.

  • If all the right hormones trigger in the womb and you became a boy it would essentially become a penis. But it's not underdeveloped, just differently developed: It's got the same number of nerve endings but all packed into a smaller area.

  • to me a cervex looks more like a penis
