Almost all girls are born with the hood of the clitoris fused to the glans -- just as almost all boys are born with the foreskin fused to the glans. In boys who aren't circumcised the foreskin doesn't normally retract fully until puberty and then it's under the influence of testosterone exposure it does so. >My doctor basically said if the clitoral phimosis is not presenting any >problems for the woman then its simply >left alone and not treated...which is the case with me. It basically indicates you haven't an excess testosterone balance. A small clitoris with a fused hood is basically an indication of a high-estrogen low-teststoerone balance. Most women are happy with that. >So becareful ladies who try to poke a Q-Tip around up there. I wouldn't go >forcing the clitoral hood if it doesn't move easily >cause it may have been fused from the time you were born and you might need >a minor surgical procedure to separate it. Well, if it's testosterone that's on the Q-Tip, it's just the thing to do the job :-) Joy _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

I must be really stupid. > No, of course you're not stupid. In many women the exposed part of the clitoris is a tiny, insignificant fold of skin where the outer labia meet at the front. It can be so small that many women have simply never taken any notice of its existence. In other women it's so much larger that you could never avoid noticing it. Its size is largely dependent on testosterone exposure at various stages in life, including before birth. In instances of very high testosterone exposure (eg athletes taking anabolic steroids) it can enlarge to roughly the size of a thumb. In many, but not all, adult women, if you pull back the skin of the clitoris it will expose the glans which looks like a very small pea and which is the equivalent of the glans of a male penis. That's all that's being talked about. Don't worry if yours doesn't slide back. There are enormous differences in size and development between different individuals. Those with a more obvious clitoris tend to get a great deal of pleasure from manipulating it, but those with a clitoirs that's hardly visible can take pleasure in having a body that's more free from the influence of testosterone.
