Nocturnal clitoral tumescence

Okay, so the clitoris is a special part of a girl's body that is super sensitive and feels really good when it's touched.

At night while we’re sleeping, a lot of things happen in our bodies that we don’t even know about. One thing that happens is called nocturnal clitoral tumescence. What that means is that the clitoris gets bigger and harder during the night.

You know how sometimes your fingers or toes might get a little puffy or swollen? Well, the clitoris can do that too. This happens because more blood flows to that area and makes it bigger and firmer.

It’s a totally normal and natural thing that happens to girls’ bodies. And it’s nothing to feel embarrassed or weird about. It just means our bodies are doing their thing even when we're asleep!
