Talk:Clitoris

Semi-protected edit request on 24 February 2024
Removal of the term sex organ. The clitoris is NOT an organ. It is like a nipple or urethra. It is a raised region of nerve endings that cause sexual arousal when stimulated. Even check Wikipedia sex organ definition. This is NOT an organ, as in heart, stomach, lungs. It is a feature of the vulva with the function of sexual arousal & pleasure. Wikipedia should not be this bad. Fix this ! RoseEatsRice (talk) 23:54, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: here's a source that describes it as a sex organ. M.Bitton (talk) 00:19, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The clitoris is uniquely involved in arousal & orgasm, characteristics of a secondary sex organ. As per your statement Even check Wikipedia sex organ definition, in the MOS:LEAD of sex organ it states that the female sex organs include the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, vagina, and vulva. That article also states Secondary sex organs are the rest of the reproductive system, whether internal or external. The Latin term genitalia, sometimes anglicized as genitals, is used to describe the externally visible sex organs: [...] in female mammals, the vulva.
 * In the vulva article, the lead states The human vulva includes the mons pubis (or mons veneris), labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, vestibular bulbs, vulval vestibule, urinary meatus, the vaginal opening, hymen, and Bartholin's and Skene's vestibular glands.
 * I have added bold to certain terms & italics for emphasis so that you may better understand. To state that the is an obviously inaccurate claim. Peaceray (talk) 20:50, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The logic for maintaining the status quo does not follow. Your argument summarizes:
 * "The clitoris is part of the vulva, and the vulva is a sex organ, therefore the clitoris is a sex organ."
 * That's akin to saying "A wheel is part of a car, and a car is a vehicle, therefore a wheel is a vehicle."
 * Which is silly.
 * You also referred to the clitoris as a "secondary sex organ". If there exists a well-sourced definition of "secondary sex organ" that includes the clitoris then the wording should change to clearly say "secondary sex organ", not "sex organ", linked as appropriate.
 * An edit is warranted in either case. 24.137.93.163 (talk) 20:10, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
