HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW THE CLITORIS?

A folded zine sitting on a stack of other folded zines.

Front and back cover of the zine. There are collaged flowers in the background and
a drawing of the clitoris in the center. The title of the zine is in a marker font on strips of tape.
The flowers wrap around to the back where the sources are cited and it's signed.

Zine spread with text in a marker font on tape. On one side there's a labeled image of a clitoris from a cadaver
over a large image of a cut open strawberry. On the other side, the background is overlayed images of sun rays coming
through clouds and neurons connecting, and the foreground is a scientific drawing of the clitoris and pubic bone.

Zine spread with text in a marker font on tape. The left side is a model of a clitoris on top of butterfly wings,
with butterflies and a chrysalis surrounding it. The other side is a drawing of the clitoris with a marker drawing of
an arrow piercing it, like a cartoon heart. It's sitting atop a heart shaped pile of conversation heart candies.

Zine spread with text in a marker font on tape. The left side has drawings of lungs, a heart, and a brain on top of
lined paper with scribbles on it. The left side is a purple galaxy, with a hand holding a model of a clitoris.

Well, first of all, it looks like this! Cool, right?

It's a receptor... that recieves external or transvaginal stimulation. Stimulate me, baby!

It's a transformer... that transforms sexual stimuli from other nongenital erogenous areas

And it's a generator... that generates feelings of sexual arousal and orgasm. Ooh la la ;)

The clitoris is the only human organ whose sole function seems to be...

SEXUAL PLEASURE!
