i know that penises are basically enlarged clits, right? so does the clit also get hard when aroused and we just don't notice as much because it's smaller?

certifiedsexed answered:

Great question and the answer is yes.

The clitoris very much can and does get hard! It's both harder to notice from the outside because it's smaller [and with the hood, most of the change happens inside!] and because it's so rarely taught about/there's so little research on it, many people don't know how to recognize the signs of a clitoral erection! A lot of people don't even know when they have clitoral erections!

Most common signs of a clitoral erections are simple. It gets bigger (sometimes just a little!), the hood can pull back, it becomes pinker/red, your inner/outer labia may get swollen and you may get wetter. It also typically becomes more sensitive [sometimes a lot!] and your clitoris might actually feel hard to the touch.

Not everyone who has a clitoris experiences clitoral erections, much like with the penis. If you don't have clitoral erections [but have a clitoris], it doesn't mean anything's wrong. Sometimes it just works like that. The body is persnickety sometimes.

There's not much research on clitoral erections [*cough* can anyone say medical misogyny] but it's very cool!

Hope this helps! Lemme know if you have anymore questions! <3

A Man of Few Words

I'm from the USA and am trying to take hope and inspiration from our queer predecessors who faced dark times in the past. How did they keep going even when it felt like the world was ending?Do you have any recommendations for queer historical essays, poems, books, anything to find comfort and hope for these dark times?

makingqueerhistory answered:

Yes, I have a couple of stories for this.

Claude Cahun

A queer surrealist photographer from 1920's paris, Claude was Jewish and recognized the rise of antisemitism in their home country and watched it become fascism. Here is a quote from their article:

"In 1937 Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore cut off many connections because of the war and ran to Jersey to avoid anti-Semitic violence. Upon arrival, they went back to using their birth names and laid low until the Germans took Jersey. Moore and Cahun set to work. They used their experience with art and disguising their genders to create works that spread misinformation, seeds of rebellion and implied that there was a large-scale resistance happening when in reality, it was just the two of them. Though some of their work was based on confusing the soldiers, they also translated and transcribed BBC transmissions into German, detailing the war crimes that were being committed. They would have these translations on pieces of paper that they would slip into soldier's pockets, matchboxes, and anywhere a soldier may stumble across it and possibly read it. An investigation was started, and Nazi authorities believed there to be a group of people doing this. When the two were discovered to be behind the actions, Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore were sentenced to death. Fortunately, the sentence was never carried out because the island of Jersey was liberated from German rule only a year later. Claude took a picture upon their release in front of the camps with a Nazi eagle pin between their teeth."

And Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz

who wrote:

"Poetry readings and concert attendance—and often a chat over vodka—were not only forms

of escapism, but also a search for better, more substantive aspects of human beings, a search

which would end, more often than not, in complete disillusionment. If it could be possible, to

discern, in these notes even if only for a moment a measure of humanity in that time of

inhumanity, the goal of this publication would be fulfilled.”

I think his whole article is worth reading.

Also here are some books to read:

Double Cross: The True Story of the D-Day Spies

Destined mortal enemies reincarnating across the ages, except the destiny in question has no power to ensure that either of them takes up a suitably heroic occupation in any given life, so sometimes it ends up having to go to considerable lengths to keep their rivalry alive and relevant in circumstances that absolutely are not conducive to it.
