Description

Description: This provocative and often humorous documentary explores the “mysteries” of female sexuality, focusing on the clitoris; a tiny, highly sensitive organ with 8,000 nerve endings at its tip, making it the most responsive organ in the human body, including the tongue or, in men, the penis.THE CLITORIS blends graphic imagery, animation, hilarious TV commercials, and interviews with doctors, psychologists, writers, therapists, and sex educators to examine both historical and contemporary perceptions of the psychology and physiology of women’s sexual response.Over the centuries, the clitoris has performed a neat magic trick. It has appeared, then disappeared; reappeared, then disappeared; and so on, as various anatomists have described and drawn the organ, only to have subsequent scientists excise it from existence.Which is rather a big deal, considering the clitoris is, according to this documentary, the single most sensitive human organ with all its thousands of nerve endings.One of the champions of the oft-overlooked organ is Dr Helen O’Connell, a Melbourne researcher billed as the world’s foremost expert on all things clitoral. Dr O’Connell explains the workings of this anatomical curiosity and reveals why she doesn’t think there is a G-spot. The clitoris is not just larger than you might expect, she says, but is involved in every single female orgasm.With a mix of interesting history, cute animation, humorous interludes and full-frontal nudity, this European co-production is, to put it mildly, revealing.German version here
