Gray's subject #270 1265

The Cleft of Venus or pudendal cleft is the furrow at the base of the Mons veneris where it divides to form the labia majora. Slang terms include: slit, slash, slot, crack, furrow, mull, etc. In some Human females the clitoral hood and labia minora protrude through the Cleft of Venus, in others they do not.

When tight clothes are worn, the fabric of the tight garment may be pulled into the cleft (often because of a central seam, as in jeans), resulting in a situation best known as the cameltoe, "beetle bonnet" or "moose knuckle" in slang terms.

The name is a reference to the Roman goddess of love, Venus.
