"The clitoris is pure in purpose.
It is the only organ in the body designed purely for pleasure.
The clitoris is simply a bundle of nerves:
8,000 nerve fibers, to be precise.
That's a higher concentration of nerve fibers
than is found anywhere else in the body,
including the fingertips, lips, and tongue,
and it is twice... twice... twice the number in the penis.
Who needs a handgun when you've got a semiautomatic."
