The difficult fate of the clitoris in songs and dances
The Refinery29 publication released a music video dedicated to the clitoris and the fact that for a long time it was unfairly ignored. “We at Refinery29 are big fans of the clitoris,” says the editorial message. “This body has eight thousand sensitive nerve endings (two times more than the head of the penis), and its only function is to make us feel good. Despite this throughout history, the clitoris remained incomprehensible, it was treated with disdain and ignored. "
The video tells how attitudes towards the clitoris, female orgasm and female sexuality changed from antiquity and the Middle Ages, when the clitoris was considered a “devilish nipple”, and the women in whom it was discovered were witches, until Freud, who considered only vaginal orgasm to be “full-fledged” and of our days, when scientists finally noticed the clitoris. The song about the difficult path of the clitoris to well-deserved recognition is performed by the musician and actress of the performance Dorian Electra, who at the end of the video appears in the costume of the clitoris. In general, see for yourself.
