The clitoris is a nub of spongy tissue at the front of the vagina. It is the primary source of pleasure for women because the majority of women orgasm by touching, licking, sucking, etc, the clitoris.  Recent research reveals that much of the clitoris is internal with 4-inch roots that reach into the vagina. Its shape is similar to the wishbone. When sexually aroused it fills with blood, and becomes sensitive to touch.

Like erectile dysfunction, clitoral atrophy can be a stressful issue to encounter but remain positive and try some of the remedies listed here. Feel free to leave comments about your experience and what worked for you. 

There are many reasons why one may have a long period of no sex. Grief, depression, life changes, and health reasons are just a few.
