Push the button: what every woman (and man) should know about the clitoris

So what does this mean for you? Well, to start with, you can have a lot more fun if you explore your clitoris in all its glory. And once you've discovered how to turn yourself on in new ways, you can let your partner in on the secret too.

Going solo

1. Press down on your pubic mound with one hand, while stroking the clit with your other hand. Use lube and go gently as you?re exposing the tip of your clit, which is the most sensitive part.
2. Use one finger on the stem of the clit (the bit just above the tip) and slide a finger of the other hand inside yourself to stroke the G-spot (thought to be the internal base of the clitoris).
3. Lube up your finger and stroke your inner labia while caressing your breasts with the other hand.
4. Squeeze your outer labia together with two fingers of one hand, and stroke the stem of the clitoris with your other hand.
5. Lie on your back, put a pillow between your crossed legs and press down on it, rocking your pubic bone against it to stimulate your clit and labia at the same time (this is particularly good for women who find direct clitoral stimulation a bit much).

Share the joy

1. Get your man to lick from the stem of your clit to your inner labia and back up again in soft sweeping strokes.
2. Ask him to slip a finger inside you and press on your G-spot as he gently licks the tip of your clit.
3. Shave your pubes and get your man to suck the whole of your clitoris and labia softly into his mouth, lapping in between your labia as he does.
4. Get onto all fours and slide a finger or toy inside yourself from behind to tease your G-spot as he licks your clit from underneath.
5. Squeeze your Kegel (or pelvic floor) muscles as your man slips his fingers into you and laps your clit from above.
