It is when the clitoris is cut out/off of a woman's or girl's body. It is a procedure rarely done, there are some clans/tribes in Africa, I think, who do this to young girls, to prevent them from wanting to have sex with men other than their husbands once they are married. Removal of the clitoris does not interfere with the ability to become pregnant.
It is commonly believed that without a clitoris, a woman cannot experience sexual gratification, or orgasm. There are some who dispute this, but I wouldn't want to live without mine.

Removal of the clit. The majority of women in Africa have had this done to them and not even in a sterile environment.

"surgical" removal of the clitoris. described as being very painful and I would imagine so considering it is usually done without anesthesia. As you can imagine its not exactly a voluntary procedure.

It's also called "Female circumcision". Barbaric.
