Born Without a Clitoris?
I'm kind of embarrassed to ask this question, but I'm getting quite desperate and confused.
It seems that by some terrible error I was born without a clitoris. Although I am still technically a virgin, I have been with a couple different guys before and none of us were ever able to find it. (believe me, we looked XP) In addition, I really get no pleasure from down there. Really, you must belive me!
I'm not inhibited, and I wasn't raised by strict Catholic parents, it just doesn't make very much sense. A couple of people have mentioned that it might have to do with my hormone levels. I never really went though a very dramatic puberty, and a lot of people say I look and sound a lot younger than I am (which is 21) In addition I have absolutely no libido and any contact down there is very uncomfortable (thus I'm still a virgin)
Do you think I am just young and inexperienced, or could there be something physiologically wrong with me?

It is highly likely that you may have a DSD (disorder of sex develop, also called intersex) it's quite common in those cases to be born without "normal" parts. But honestly no one is "normal". Best way to test this is to have blood work done or go to a Obgyn to see if your reproductive system is "normal". It could also be hormonal, which is easily fixed with birth control or hormone replacement therapy.
Some women have innies and some have outies but if you really want to find this particular body part or location you can it just takes a made up mind. If you're truly concerned ask your OB. They will help you find it. The only stupid question is the one left unasked.
Ok if you didn’t have a clitoris you would not be able to urinate, so 1 question can you urinate? If you answer yes then you absolutely do have a clitoris.

Women do not urinate from the clitoris. They urinate from the urethra. It is completely possible to have a urethra and not have a clitoris.
Booo! Have a seat.... alternative facts.... fake news.... clitoris isn't necessary for urination. Neither is a penis but boooo! Misinformed
The urethra isn't even NEAR the clitoris... It's like half an inch above the vaginal opening. If women peed through their clitoris, they could pee standing up.
I wish you could all see my Facebook I actually just posted a diagram of this the other day. Ok a woman has labia. That is the part you SEE when she is standing up straight with her legs closed. No you cannot actually see the vagina when she's standing up straight with her legs together. Put your eyes/finger on belly button. Slowly move downwards towards pubic area to the labia. When legs are apart the first thing inside outer labia is the vulva, and under/connected to that another labia. The outer labia is the labia majora the inner is labia minora. These can be different sizes on different women and that's all right . Inside the vulva or partially sticking out of the vulva or conected to/protruding from the vulva is the clitoris. LOL my spell check keeps changing clitoris to Citrus LOL inside the labia minora and under the vulva is the urethra opening. This is where urine exits the body. Urine - Urethra. Under that tiny/small hole is another bigger hole. This is the vaginal opening. This is where the penis is inserted for sexual intercourse and the baby comes out of it is also called the birth canal. Below the vaginal opening the labia comes back together then there is an area that is flat. This is the perineum and then there's another hole which is the anus. The inside parts of the female are the vagina, cervix, the uterus the fallopian tubes and the ovaries. There is also one spot called the g-spot which can make your orgasms more intense. When the female body orgasms the uterus contracts creating a suction of fluid from the birth canal through the cervix this is the body's way of helping the sperm enter the uterus to find the egg. This is another reason why women can have two four even six orgasms within an hour of one another it's so the body can suck up MORE semen from the vagina and pull it into the uterus where it will search for the egg.

So...the female orgasm doesn'the really create a suction, it is more of a dipping action where the cervix is given more opportunity to come into contact with the pool of sperms left by male ejaculated. I realize I may be splitting hairs but just in case someone actually thought there was suction created, I thought I would elaborate.
Pls, I also dont enjoy sex at all and my boyfriend told me he couldn't find my clitoris ND I was embarrassed,i have never enjoyed sex for once because it's always painful.. Pls help me on what to do

Most guys can't find it. Of course that's because boys don't usually pay attention in health class and somehow seem to think that the clitoris is inside when it's really outside of your body Have you used a mirror and a bright light rather than using your hand under blankets in the dark?Remember everyone's different. For everyone who has a tiny clitoris that's hiding, there's someone who's also complaining that hers is too big! If you're really really concerned I suggest you go to OBGYN not a general practitioner. Remember the clitoris is hiding inside the valva and there is a clitoral hood and labia that are attached to it - it could be just that the hood has completely grown over top and that your clitoris is completely covered with skin. If this is the case do not try to uncover it on your own - go to a doctor and ask if they can do some type of X-ray or ultrasound to figure out exactly what's going on. My one friend was born with a penis and a uterus these things do happen. If it is there but just (tiny and covered) think of it as a boy who's uncircumcised. Remember everyone has a clitoris from the start so it has to be there somewhere! Every egg starts out with an X. Later it gains either an x or a y from the sperm. If the baby gains a y the clotoris grows into a penis. So you most likely have one it is just probably stuck inside where as most come out as you grow bigger. I mean you can't always SEE the clitoris on a newborn it is hidden in the vulva for a reason! As you grow so does your genitalia and sometimes girls worry because there clitoris sticks all the way out the hood or seems "too big," whichever way yours is, it will be ok! The only women who have reported not having one are the ones whom had female circumcision done on them. Sorry this is very long and not well organized it is too hot in here my brain is having hard time functioning!

Okay I don't want to sound more intruding than helpful, and I don't know much about where to find your clitoris etc. But maybe ur lack of libido/Sexualität arousal or pleasure has less to do with your physical anatomy? I understand the situation you are in and how uncomfortable it must be. Good luck with your research
