Following this month’s Wank-A-Thon, Clitoraid emerges!
The mere mention of “clitoris” tends to make certain individuals uncomfortable — and not in a positive way.
However, this perception might shift rapidly with the launch of the inaugural “International Clitoris Awareness Week,” a seven-day celebration of this part of the female anatomy.
This initiative is spearheaded by “Clitoraid,” a group based in Las Vegas that typically focuses on assisting survivors of female genital mutilation worldwide.
Yet, according to Clitoraid spokesperson Nadine Gary, the intent behind “Clitoris Awareness Week” leans toward a more light-hearted approach.
“We’ve observed that the clitoris has not received the recognition it deserves. It tends to make some people uneasy,” she stated. “For the duration of this week, our focus will not be on genital mutilation.”
Gary pointed out that since the 19th century, the clitoris has been undervalued, especially as orgasms achieved through its stimulation were deemed “immature” in comparison to those experienced vaginally.
“The clitoris lacks a reproductive role, which allows it to be downplayed,” she explained. “It can extend up to eight inches long — comparable to a penis — though it is situated internally.”
To generate interest for “Clitoris Week,” she plans for fellow Clitoraid members to don oversized vagina costumes and distribute flyers along the Las Vegas Strip.
In addition, LA-based adult filmmaker Mike Kulich is contributing to the clitoris campaign by producing a DVD featuring various porn actresses celebrating self-love, provisionally titled “I Love My Clitoris,” with all profits directed to Clitoraid.
