Found it! First mapping of the clitoris

One of the human body’s least studied organs is finally getting the right kind of attention. In 1486, a guide to identifying witches was published in Germany, The Malleus Maleficarum. One of the key criteria for determining whether someone was a witch or not was the existence of a clitoris. It would be nice to think times had changed… 200 years later in 1671, centuries after male genitalia, a midwife called Jane Sharp finally described the sexual function of the clitoris. But it wasn’t until April this year that the sensory nerve network of the clitoris was finally mapped. The research has revealed dense, tree-like branches that persist throughout the organ, overturning long-held assumptions. The work, led by Amsterdam University Medical Center, used advanced imaging, and could significantly improve outcomes for women undergoing pelvic surgery, from cancer treatment to reconstruction after genital cutting, where nerve damage can impair sexual function. A session, and organ, not to be missed. Oh, and if you’re struggling to find it? It’s on the main stage.
