A new study has revealed that the size of clitoris matters, and that women with orgasm problems may have smaller clitoris, which is located farther from the vagina.

Researchers at the Good Samaritan Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio, who used MRI to scan the pelvic area of 30 women in their 30s, found that ten of these women had rarely or never achieved orgasms despite trying, the Huffington Post reported.

Researchers have revealed that these women with orgasm problems had smaller clitoris and the direct distance between the clitoris and the vagina was 5 to 6 millimeters longer on average.

According to the study, the size and location of the clitoris may be important in women's sexual function.

Researcher Susan Oakley said that there is no "G-spot" and there is just "C-spot", which is the source of a lot of sexual pleasure for the female.

The study was published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine.
