Everything you didn’t know you needed to know about the clitoris, assembled into three charming, insightful, and multi-award winning minutes courtesy of Montreal director/animator Lori Malépart-Traversy.

Created during her studies for a BFA in Film Animation at Concordia University, the film combines gouache on paper and 2D digital animation to demystify “the only organ in the human body dedicated exclusively for pleasure.”
