Since i have a small clitoris, does that mean that i won’t get an orgasm?

You can have an orgasm. The size of your clitoris does not affect whether you can have an orgasm.

Clitorises come in many different sizes and shapes. In many women, the head of the clitoris, or glans, is often about the same size and shape as a pea, but some are smaller and some are bigger — some are as large as a child’s small finger. The head of the clitoris may be hidden within the folds of the labia, barely poking out, or it may hang far below them. The clitoris varies in color from pink to brownish black. All these variations are normal.

The shaft of the internal clitoris, which can not be seen, extends about five inches into a woman’s body. The shaft divides into two “legs” called crura. The vagina passes between the two crura, which support a highly sensitive network of nerves that contribute to sexual pleasure.
