Female External Genitalia
The female external genitalia is known collectively as the vulva. Two lipscalled the labia majora form the outer part of the vulva and normally enclosethe ruest of the parts. Inside the labia majora are two smaller lips, the labiaminora. At the front ofthe vulva the labia minoria join the clitoris, a smallerectile structure resembling the penis. At the back, the labia minora taper off near the vaginal opening. Between the clitoris and the back of the vulva, atriangular depression called the vestibule contains the urinary meatus (outlet)and the entrance to the vagina.Much of the vulva is erectile tissue and during stimulation becomes engorgedwith blood expanding in size. The bulk of the clitoris is hidden under the vulva.The labia majora are composed mainly of fat layers and the area to the frontof the of the vulva is a large pad of fat called the mons verneris. The shape of the vulva varies considerably among women.The inner skin of the vulva is hairless and is usually a pinkish color. Duringsex the color can change to a deep red, purple or blue depending upon thevenous structure of the vulva. Women who have been pregnant will often havea more pronounced venous structure of the labia minora, causing it to becomedark and bluish during stimulation.The average length of the vulva (clitoris to vaginal opening) is 54.2mm in theadult, with 66% of all women falling within 11.2mm of this size. The distancefrom the clitoris to anus is measured at 84mm with 66% of the women fallingwithin 13.9mm of this distance.
