In news that will shock no straight or bisexual woman, a new report has found that less than half of gen Z men can locate the clitoris.
The survey, commissioned by The Urology Foundation, found just 41 per cent of men aged 18 to 24 are aware of where the clitoris is on a person’s body – a stark contrast to 70 per cent of 55 to 64-year-olds.
In total, just 61 per cent of men correctly identified the clit.
This isn’t too surprising; most women have likely found themselves staring at the ceiling while having their inner thigh furiously rubbed at least once in their lives.
But previous research has also affirmed that men have never been too clued up on female anatomy: a previous survey carried out by researchers at the University of Florida showed that around four in ten men believed the clitoris was inside a woman’s vagina.
Additionally, a YouGov poll from 2019 found that around a third of men could not identify the clitoris.
The findings also chime with previous research which has uncovered a yawning orgasm gap between men and women, with women regularly faking orgasms during sex to protect their male partners’ egos.
Researchers like Laurie Mintz, a professor from the University of Florida, have argued that women orgasm less than men due to sexual misinformation spread through popular media which neglects to emphasise the importance of clitoral stimulation during sex.
