For the first time, a team of researchers has successfully mapped out the intricate network of nerves within the clitoris, a crucial organ responsible for female sexual pleasure. This achievement comes almost 30 years after a similar mapping was completed for the penis. The 3D scans of two female pelvises, donated through a body donor program, have provided unprecedented detail on the five complex tree-like branching nerves running through the clitoris. The widest of these nerves measures 0.7mm across. Led by Ju Young Lee, a research associate at Amsterdam University Medical Center, the study challenges existing knowledge about the anatomy of the clitoris. For instance, previous research suggested that the dorsal nerve of the clitoris diminished as it approached the glans, but the new scans show that it continues strongly to the end. The clitoris, one of the least-studied organs in the human body, has been neglected by researchers for far too long, according to Melbourne urologist Helen O'Connell. She notes that cultural taboos around female sexuality have hindered scientific investigations, and it wasn't until 1995 that the clitoris was included in standard anatomy textbooks. The mapping of clitoral nerves is expected to inform reconstructive surgery after female genital mutilation, which affects over 230 million girls and women worldwide. A better understanding of the nerve pathways could reduce the number of women who experience a decline in orgasmic experience after surgery. This breakthrough also has implications for vulvar cancer treatment, gender reassignment surgery, and genital cosmetic surgeries. As Lee hopes to open a clitoris exhibition to expand knowledge about the organ, inspired by the Vagina Museum in London, the study marks a significant step forward in understanding female sexual function and anatomy.

England's Ben White scored on his recall to the England side but then gave away a penalty in stoppage time as England drew 1-1 with Uruguay in a World Cup friendly. White's goal came 10 minutes from time when he poked the ball in at the far post from a corner. However, his actions turned controversial when he clipped Federico Vinas in the box, leading to a penalty for Uruguay, which Federico Valverde converted.In another matches, Florian Wirtz scored two goals and made two more as Germany twice came from behind to beat Switzerland 4-3. Wirtz's stunning right-foot shot from 30 meters gave Germany a 3-2 lead, and he sealed the win with another superb shot from the 18-yard line.Mikel Oyarzabal was the star man for Spain in its 3-0 win against Serbia, scoring two impressive goals. His first goal was a hammered shot from 16 minutes gone, and his second was an unstoppable left-foot shot from almost 25 meters out.The Netherlands also won, defeating Norway 2-1 in Amsterdam. Virgil van Dijk leveled the score 10 minutes after Norway took the lead, and Tijjani Reijnders gave the home side the win with a close-range shot in the second half.
