Female dolphins may have better sex than women thanks to their well-placed clitorises
FEMALE dolphins have clitorises just like human women – only theirs are bigger and better placed suggesting they have better sex sessions.
The researchers discovered that the skin under the clitoral hood contains "bundles" of nerves that may increase sensitivity and the potential for pleasure, as has been found in the human clitoris. Study co-leader Dr Dara Orbach, a research associate at Mount Holyoke College in the US, said: "In dolphins, the clitoris is positioned at the entrance of the vaginal opening and in direct contact with the penis during copulation, unlike the external position of the clitoris in humans."The location of the clitoris near the vaginal opening indicates it can potentially be easily stimulated during copulation.
To explore the anatomy of the dolphin clitoris, they performed dissections, created 3-D CT scans, fixed the tissues in paraffin wax and stained them to examine their structure in detail.Computer reconstruction of the clitoris of the bottlenose dolphin, which researchers say is remarkably similar to the human clitoris
In another contrast with human anatomy, the researchers did not find in the bottlenose dolphins any evidence of a vestibular bulb - an area of erectile tissue that surrounds the vaginal opening in humans and contributes to orgasms.
