Public Service Announcement

Okay. I have seen this in one too many places recently.

*sighs*



Attention Men!

1) Women have a urethra, and a vagina. One is for peeing, the other is for making babies and having sexy fun times. They are not the same thing.

(While one could potentially include the urethra in one's sexy fun times, I can't imagine it being that comfortable.)

2) The vagina is not the vulva. They are different.

3) The clitoris is not internal.

This concludes our lesson for today.

Fun with anatomy!

Actually, no: the clitoris is mostly internal. It's a about the size of a penis, and stretches back along most of the vagina. Only the tip and hood are external, about equivalent to the penis head and foreskin. It is erectile tissue, just like the penis.

When Freud wrote about 'vaginal orgasms' and how they were superior to and more psychologically mature than clitoral orgasms, he was confused: the distinction he was imagining does not exist. But some women do feel the orgasm more internally or more externally.

Other often-neglected features of the region:

Fourchette! The fourchette is the little triangular thing at the back of the vaginal entrance, just before the perineum.

Bartholin's glands (why some man got them named after him I'm not sure, but I'll go with that for now): where ladysauce comes from. Contrary to what most people might expect, they're just next to the vagina, not inside it.

*stunned by knowledge*

In this case I was mostly thinking of fic in which people locate someone's clitoris inside their vagina, which no...
