Clitoral enlargement methods are forms of body modification that have the potential to increase the size of the clitoris and enhance sexual pleasure. Clitoral enlargement can be accomplished through a variety of means, each potentially having certain side effects and risks.
The congenital or acquired medical condition known as clitoromegaly or macroclitoris contrasts intentional enlargement of the clitoris, though any abnormal enlargement of the clitoris is sometimes referred to as clitoromegaly.
There are multiple reasons someone might want to enlarge their clitoris. For some, it is a personal aesthetic choice. People who think that the size of their clitoris prevents adequate stimulation from sexual acts that can directly stimulate the clitoris, such as the coital alignment technique, may choose to enlarge the clitoris in the prospect that it will be easier to stimulate. For others, clitoral enlargement can be considered a form of gender-affirming care.
The most common methods of clitoris enlargement are:
Applying cream or gel containing testosterone directly to the clitoris, rather than injecting it (the usual route of administration for transgender hormone therapy), lessens systemic absorption and may be sufficient for those looking only to have a larger clitoris and avoid other unwanted virilizing effects.
