No it is not. The clitoris is just a bunch of nerve endings, it has no purpose but pleasure. Although you might have a hard time getting her to want to have sex to get pregnant if she doesn't have one!! lol

You know, this is a pretty interesting question. No, it's not physically necessary to have a clitoris in order for a woman to get pregnant. However, I've heard that, if a woman has an orgasm during sex, the muscle spasms that go along with it move the sperm faster up toward where the egg is supposed to be. The sperm move that way anyway, but this is supposed to move them faster. And, alot of women cannot have a vaginal orgasm no matter what you try, so that is where the clitoris comes in. Manipulate the clitoris while penetrating the woman, and it should blow her mind!

By the way, people, there is an operation, forget what it's called, where a doctor (or sometimes an older female relative) removes a young woman's clitoris. Supposedly it's to keep a woman faithful to her husband. It's truly a sick procedure, but it was practiced in Arabic countries. Not sure if it still is or not...

E-1, E-2 and so on through E-9. Then you have WO-1, WO-2 and WO-3. After that, you have O-1, O-2 and so on through O-10. Now, if you want to know what those means, it would depend on the branch of service you are talking about. In the Air Force, you have Airman Basic, Airman, Airman First Class, Sergeant, Staff Sergeant, Technical Sergeant, Master Sergeant, Senior Master Sergeant, and finally Chief Master Sergeant. Then the WO's or warrant officers, but there aren't any in the Air Force, used to be, but not any longer. The for officers, you have Second Lieutenant, First Lieutenant, Captain, Major, Lieutenant Colonel, Colonel, Brigadier General, Major General, Lieutenant General, and finally General. Each branch of the military has their own names for each paygrade, but the paygrades are all the same.

Well, no, I don't think so. There are some cultures that practice clitoridectomies, and they reproducing. It's a nasty practice, and often leads to infections and sometimes death, but the girls who have to undergo the process still have children.

Perhaps I shouldn't call them cultures. It's more like a twisted subset of otherwise perfectly normal people.

At any rate, your knowledge of female anatomy is obviously a little lacking.

No. The clitoris has no function in pregnancy.

The clitoris (Greek κλειτορίς) is a female sexual organ. In humans, the visible knob-like portion is located near the anterior junction of the labia minora, above the opening of the vagina. Unlike the homologous male organ (the penis), the clitoris does not contain the distal portion of the urethra and functions solely to induce sexual pleasure. The only known exception to this is in the Spotted Hyena, where the urogenital system is modified so that the female urinates, mates and gives birth via an enlarged, erectile clitoris.

The word:

pronunciation: KLIHT uh rihs (['klɪtəɹəs] in IPA notation (listen)) or klih TOHR ihs ([klɪ'tɔɹəs] (listen)). The OED suggests that KLY tor ihs (['klaɪtɒɹɪs]) is also used in the UK.
plural forms: clitorises in English, clitorides in Latin
slang abbreviation: clit, plural clits

The female clitoris corresponds to homologous parts of the male penis, i.e., embryologically it comes from the same tissue that forms the penis. The trigger for forming a penis instead of a clitoris is the action of testosterone in utero.

The organ is formed out of corpus cavernosum, a rich collection of capillary tissue with a substantial presence of nerve tissue. It contains roughly the same number of nerve endings as the penis[1], and it is particularly well-suited for sexual stimulation.

The outside portion of the clitoris, the clitoral glans, is entirely or partially covered by the clitoral hood or prepuce, tissue that is homologous to the foreskin in males. In humans, the clitoral body then extends several centimeters upwards and to the back, before splitting into two arms, the clitoral crura. Shaped like an inverted "V", these crura extend around and to the interior of the labia majora. Including external and internal components, it is thought the clitoris is similar in size to the penis.

Most of the clitoris is hidden, and external stimulation of the entire clitoris can result in a more profound sexual response. There is considerable variation among women with regard to how much of the clitoris protrudes from the hood and how much is covered by it, ranging from complete, covered invisibility to full, protruding visibility. Additionally, the size of the external clitoral shaft varies greatly; it may be smaller than a pencil eraser, or larger than a grape[2]. Recently, urologist Dr. Helen O'Connell discovered that erectile tissue lies beneath the external glans, splitting off into two 11 cm "legs", with more tissue branching down near the vaginal opening.[3] One explanation advanced for the vaginal orgasm is that it results from stimulation of the internal parts of the clitoris during vaginal penetration. Nevertheless, some women experience both clitoral and vaginal orgasms and distinguish between them in terms of both the physical and general sensations associated with each, and the structure of the G-spot, located inside the vagina, must also be taken into consideration.

During sexual arousal, the clitoris enlarges as its erectile tissue fills with blood. Shortly before orgasm, this erection often increases further, drawing the clitoris upwards, so that viewed from the outside it actually appears to shrink.

oh dear. if u dont have a clit, ur not born female. every female has one. no matter HOW small, it's still there babe.

//edit//
it was brought to my attention that i viewed this question with another point of view. i was under the assumption that u felt as if it wasnt there because it may of been very small. but if it was removed and or damaged in some way, no u do not need it in order to get pregnant or perform normal sexually! it's for pleasure purposes only and serves no purpose in reproduction. i hope that helps u.

Hey, give the guy a break here. He just wants the info.

No, it is not necessary.

Many primitive countries remove the clit of baby girls and yet they grow to have children. They just don't enjoy intercourse as much.

You need a clit to be a woman and you need to be a woman to get pregnant.

nope, don't need it to get pregnant. Just need ovaries/eggs and a uterus!

No. Clitoris is purely for enjoyment. Penetration and ejaculation iswhat causes pregnancy.
