Sex Question: Am I Normal-Looking Down There?

Dear Dr. Kate,

Is it normal for a woman’s clitoris to be large and hang down a bit? Does this happen as a result of too much sex?

The size of our clitoris is determined by our genes-just like the size of our nose and our feet. It has nothing to do with how much sex we have. Some women simply have more of their clitoris on the outside of their body. The clitoris is actually a much bigger organ than we realize-the nerve bundle of more than 8,000 nerve endings stretches back almost eight inches when you’re fully aroused. So the part of the clitoris that we can see is just the tip of the ecstasy iceberg.

Have you ever been concerned that one of your body parts wasn’t normal?
