I.e., clitoris, as the (surely purpose-written) example makes
abundantly clear. (http://sherpa.urbanup.com/2674346). This is the
first def listed for the word, based on reader rankings (618 up, 23
down). And if you think all those YES votes meant "I think this is an
accurate definition of a real usage", I've got a real bargain on a
bridge for you.
