The Clitoris Strikes Back

After ‘The Vagina Monologues’, the clitoris gets its revenge!

Every sexologist will tell you: the clitoris is the main trigger for female orgasm. Yet the media rarely talk about it, and when they do, they’re often vague. The clitoris remains a little-understood organ in sexuality and is often taboo.

With plenty of humour and an educational approach, Maïa Mazaurette and Dr Damien Mascret offer practical ways to rediscover this small piece of material that so often goes unmentioned — what they call ‘cultural excision’… And they must be doing something right, because the magazines are unanimous in their praise:

• Femme Actuelle: ‘A must-read for a better understanding of the centre of female pleasure.’
• Psychologies Magazine: ‘Ideas for discovering an organ that’s sometimes poorly understood. Enlightening.’
• Femme Magazine: ‘The authors have thoroughly researched the subject, challenging received ideas and offering genuine reflection on the clitoris [...]. An authoritative book.’

Maïa Mazaurette is a ‘sexpert’ for Quotidien (TMC), GQ magazine and Le Monde. She also writes novels, essays, short stories and comics, and remains passionate about ice cream.

Damien Mascret is a doctor and sexologist. He’s also a journalist for Le Figaro and CNews, and he’s very good at drawing vulvas and clitorises…
