Q: Is it possible to say a female is attracted to the same sex because of her oversized clitoris? I have come to believe this about myself. My clitoris looks like a very small penis. Is this common among other women?

A:Sexual orientation is not related to clitoris size, but libido might be, because high levels of blood testosterone can increase clitoris size. Also, a clitoris can sometimes actually be a micro-penis in some inter-sex disorders. You need a proper specialist evaluation.
