Did you know a man, actually several, had to "discover" the clitoris? On today’s episode, I welcome Sarah Chadwick, author of The Sweetness of Venus: A History of the Clitoris. We will learn about the ups and downs in the life of the clitoris: it’s involvement in witchcraft, its repeated “discovery” and repression, and why we need more nicknames for it.

Although it is slowly changing, there is so much the average person does not know about the clitoris. Although one "fact" that gets repeated again and again is that there are 8,000 nerve endings in the clitoris. It has been completely meme-ified. But, is that true? On this episode I will talk about the anatomical details of the clitoris (all of it!), what we do and don’t know about clitoral nerves, and why we know so little!
