If you're reading this with your mouth hanging open and thinking, "What? Clitoral erection? Internal part of the clitoris?" you're not alone, and I hold no judgment. But yes, clitorises have erections.
There are a lot of expectations around the idea of perfection and how we "should" look, and the vulva has not escaped these unrealistic beauty ideals.

If you or your partner have ever had trouble finding your clitoris, we're going into graphic, nitty-gritty detail on what to do here. We're even going to have pictures and troubleshooting steps! We're dispensing with the vague, mystical descriptions here since those have never helped anyone.
