I thought that the clitoris contains all the nerve endings that would be in the male penis, just in the smaller area vs being spread out over the entire penis and penis nerves are selected for to encourage male mating.

In a penis the nerve endings are also mostly in the glans (head) so the difference isn't that big. Most of the parts of these two organs match somehow, just shifted around a bit.
