Question

Does a female cow have a clitoris like a female human would? and if so...for what purpose?

Answer 1

Bravo to the above answer!  A cow does indeed have a clitoris and it serves the same function as it does in people.

When I was a kid visiting a friend who lived on a farm.  We were in the barn and the cows were being milked, and he said, "Want to see something funny?"  I said yes, of course.

He picked out one cow that he said was particularly juicy, lifted her tail, and began rubbing her clitoris with his finger.  "Watch," was all he said.  She stood perfectly still for about ten seconds, and then almost fell down.  We both thought that was hilarious, but he said, "Watch what happens if I keep doing it."  She began to squat deeper and deeper as he did so, and that was the funniest thing I had ever seen.  I laughed so hard I couldn't even watch, and finally had to leave, I was laughing so hard.  My parting glimpse at her as I left found her squatting so deeply that the things milking her were lying flat on the floor.  Cows can have very expressive faces, and there was no mistaking that look of pure bliss.

Answer 2

Yes, all female mammals have a clitoris. It is the only organ whose sole function is pleasure. Of course there's always an exception to the rule - spotted hyenas mate and give birth through their clitoris, which is enlarged to around the same size and shape as the male's p***s (it's often called a pseudopenis), as the entrance to the v****a is blocked by fatty lumps called 'pseudotestes'. These features make female genitals appear very similar to those of males, and people once thought these animals were hermaphrodites!
