  • More about Pleasure Erased: The Clitoris Unthought

The clitoris has been erased from anatomy books, paintings, sculptures, spirit, and body, but is now honored and recognized. However, genital mutilation is still common practice, and millions of women are still denied pleasure. It is time to give voice to an organ of pleasure that has not yet become an organ of thought.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 150 pages
Publication date: 07 July 2022
Publisher: Polity Press


The clitoris has long been a forgotten pleasure organ, absent from anatomy books, paintings, sculptures, and spirit. However, in our times, it has been honored and celebrated through conferences, books, manifestos, and works of art. The autonomy of clitoral jouissance is recognized, and the boundaries of feminism have expanded to include queer, intersex, and trans approaches, which argue that the clitoris is not solely the domain of women. Despite these advancements, there remains a wounded space due to the prevalence of genital mutilation and the denial of pleasure to millions of women. The clitoris continues to occupy an enigmatic space within the feminine, constrained by the urgent need to restore its essence and elevate it to the status of an organ of thought.
