Female Anatomy Lesson (some TMI!)

[Jay 2K Winger]

I don't understand why this is such a hard concept to deal with for some people.

Because they reach puberty/teenage years, and they get the common teenage Senses of Invulnerability and Inculpability (screw you spell-check, that is a word, I just coined it) and just assume that nothing bad will ever happen to them, and damn any statistics or evidence otherwise, because they're Speshul, and if anything does go wrong, it's always Someone Else's Fault.

"I'll never be in a car accident, that always happens to stupid people, and I'm not stupid, Q.E.D." then becomes "I was in a car accident, but it was totally the fault of the other driver for not stopping when I ran that red light."

"I'll never get pregnant, that always happens to sluts and skanks, and I'm not a slut or a skank, so." then becomes "That asshole got me pregnant, he should have known I wasn't on the pill and been more careful and worn a condom!"

And so on and so on.

I dunno... men have wanted all sorts of aspects, in my experience. Including some parts that are nowhere near the crotch.

I had assumed that this (Do I have to say NSFW here?) was enough of an argument to prove my case.

No beans involved. Or peas, or little men.

I disagree. Sometimes little men ARE involved.

I had to reboot my brain there several times. I KNEW what the general anatomy of the male/female body was well before I got into middle school. Even then the sex ed. course wasn't all that great but it still taught us the basics.

Though I do remember one girl not going through the course, as it was opitional and us students had a form to take home about it [ those that didn't go through this course had other work to do to make up for it ]. I think from what I can remember, her parents thought that was a course that was highly inapropriate for us kids.

rofl. That girl should be embarrassed. So should her mother.

This would be why sex education in schools is so important. I never had the "sex talk" with my mother, because they taught us all about it in school starting in grade three, and yes, every single year from then on till graduation. Yes, mum had to sign something agreeing to it, but she was all for it. She told me they could explain it better than she could. The schools made sure we were well educated in terminology and function. They also made sure to scare the living crap out of us about diseases and pregnancy with video's and stuff, and made sure that we knew how to prevent both but that we were absolutely positive that none of that was 100% and the only way NOT to get pregnant was to not have sex.

I don't understand why this is such a hard concept to deal with for some people.

The irony is the pregnant one didn't know the medical terms for the affected anatomy. Another irony: the ones who shouldn't breed are.

If she'd stuck with "flicking the bean" she wouldn't be pregnant.

[Becks]

Holy biscuit. The conversation in the OP was so stupid it literally made me sick.

What does the Coalition for the Liberation of Itinerat Tree dwellers have to do with the female anatomy?

In other news, what the hell. Arguing about something like that. Perhaps Laundromats are the first open discussion forums, posibly a prelude to the internet.

Sorry folks. The otherwise-useless TV and movie quotes are really hitting the surface today.

[Seshat]

What makes me laugh is when they call all of this "the 'gina" or just "my vagina".

There is lots of parts to it, and they all have different names. The vagina is just the bit that men want.

I dunno... men have wanted all sorts of aspects, in my experience. Including some parts that are nowhere near the crotch.

But yes, the vagina proper is internal.

[ShinyGreenApple]

That's it. The human race is doomed.

Reminds me of my intro to CNA class where one girl asked how kidney stones came out, and the teacher explained. So the student is all "Oh, well then why does everybody scream and cry 'bout 'em? That shouldn't be too bad, it's where my babies came out."

Everyone else:

That turned into a 40 minute rabbit trail about the female anatomy, which later the teacher admitted to 'never being so embarrassed for another person in my LIFE!' When we were finishing up for the day, she said something about where semen was stored and "If you need to know how it gets out of the penis, please see me after class before you leave and we'll talk."

I made a beandish this weekend...Didnt look anything like a female part. The girl *might* be wrong there

[Sparky]

One of my pet peeves is people referring to the female external sex organs as the vagina. As in: Put some pants on! People can see your vagina! Um, no. Not unless they have speculums.

My favorite name for ... whatever part of the anatomy it means ... comes from Tom Robbins' Still Life with Woodpecker, in which he refers to the female ... um ... parts as "the peachfish." Quoting from memory here, but it was something like "that delightful thing, part fur, part fin...."

At one point his character is considering dating again after a painful breakup. Quote:

Her head said no. The peachfish said it was about damn time. Her heart did a flip flop and voted with the peachfish.

You know, the sad bit is that the one of them has no clue about her own body, and the other thinks that because she's into girls is the reason she does. (Her comment was funny, and I get what she's saying, but still.)

I'm a raging straight and I know all about the vag. You know why? Because I'm the proud owner of one.
