A Clitoris Video Gives Attention To Female Anatomy
In a world full of songs about women’s asses and breasts, there is a song that covers new territory making waves on the internet. An educational video about the clitoris went viral on Facebook with such a catchy techno-pop vibe. Dorian Electra aSinger/songwriter decided to give the clitoris a little love when she created the video in conjunction with Refinery29. The song, officially titled Our Musical Ode to the Clitoris, first surfaced back in March, but it’s going viral again.
“The clitoris, it’s been a mystery,” the song says. “The clitoris, it’s my anatomy. The clitoris, much more than you can see. And if you get to know it, you can get to know me.”
The song speaks about the history of the clitoris, explaining how it was often overlooked by artists, as well as how women’s sexual oppression played a major role in the lack of knowledge about an important part of the body. Her words are spot on – in the late 1400s, a woman with an aroused clitoris could be accused of witchcraft and later on in 1948, erased the clitoris from illustrations of Gray’s Anatomy.
The two doctors mentioned in her music video were an actual sex research duo who studied sex acts in person to test clitoral and vaginal orgasms. With the anatomy of a clitoris being fully discovered in 1998 by Helen O’Connell. But now Our Musical Ode to the Clitoris, we have hundreds of years of clitoris history in a little less than four minutes.
The clitoris music video celebrates masturbation, throws shade at the almighty penis, and even shows the singer dressed as a clitoris at the end of the video. And, for those of us who want to learn all the words, the lyrics are at the bottom in a sing-along style with a cute little clitoris to help us follow along. Who knew we needed this video so damn bad? Well, Electra knew. If you haven’t heard it yet, listen to Our Musical Ode to The Clitoris below and prepare to have this song stuck in your head for the next three to five days.
