Like humans, female dolphins have a functional clitoris, according to a study appearing today (January 10, 2022) in the journal Current Biology.

The findings are based on the discovery that the clitoris-like structure positioned in the vaginal entrance of bottlenose dolphins has lots of sensory nerves and erectile bodies.

“The dolphin clitoris has many features to suggest that it functions to provide pleasure to females,” says first author Patricia Brennan, an assistant professor of biological sciences at Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts.

“Just like the human clitoris, the dolphin clitoris has large areas of erectile tissue that fill up with blood,” Brennan says.

The studies further show that the clitoris body has large nerves and many free nerve endings right underneath the skin, which is much thinner there than in the adjacent skin.

Overall, Brennan says that the erectile bodies in dolphins are “surprisingly similar” to the shape of the erectile bodies in humans.

“Also, the size of the nerves in the clitoris body was very surprising.

Brennan said they got curious about the dolphin clitoris while studying the evolution of vaginas in dolphins.

“Every time we dissected a vagina, we would see this very large clitoris, and we were curious whether anyone had examined it in detail to see if it worked like a human clitoris,” she says.

so, do male dolphins (or female dolphins) engage in oral sex??
