The Clitoris Strikes Back

After ‘The Vagina Monologues’, the clitoris strikes back!

Every sexologist says it: the clitoris is the main trigger for female orgasm. Yet the media rarely discuss it, and when they do, they often get it wrong. The clitoris remains too little understood in discussions of sexuality and is often taboo.

With plenty of humour and an accessible approach, Maïa Mazaurette and Dr Damien Mascret offer practical ways to rediscover this little part of the body 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: ‘Read it to better understand the centre of female pleasure.’
• Psychologies Magazine: ‘Ideas for discovering an organ that is sometimes little understood. Enlightening.’
• Femme Magazine: ‘The authors have thoroughly researched the subject, challenging misconceptions and offering genuine insight into the clitoris [...]. An essential reference.’

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 is also a journalist for Le Figaro and CNews, and he's very good at drawing vulvas and clitorises…
