Key Points:
- A viral tweet claiming the clitoris can "go away" due to lack of use has caused widespread concern, but medical experts clarify that the clitoris does not disappear with age or inactivity.
- Dr. Suzette E. Johnson explains that prolonged low estrogen levels can cause physical changes in the clitoris and surrounding areas, but the organ itself does not vanish.
- Sexual desire, arousal, and sensitivity are distinct experiences, and changes in clitoral sensitivity do not necessarily indicate a loss of desire or pleasure.
- Experts recommend exploring different types of stimulation, using lubricants or vibrators, and embracing changes in sexual response as natural phases rather than losses.
- Increasing openness in healthcare about women's sexual health is helping more people ask questions and seek support, challenging outdated assumptions about aging and sexual pleasure.
