Women who'd never seen their vulvas given a mirror and a modesty screen

If you can pierce your cervix (which, apparently, you can), you can probably wrangle a tattoo of some sort.

I mean, not you you. You as in “one.”

The question, as always, would be “Why?”

Catholic girls.

True. You do to look up your bum though, and neither’s that. Cheer up, eh?

The answer is, as always, ‘because it’s there’.

That was really affecting, aye.

It seems to have worked out all right for these ladies, regardless of what you think they ought to have done.

Why in the world were they made to do it standing up instead of lying down or in a semi-reclining chair? And in a tiny little box, no less. (In addition to the stereotypical vagina/vulva confusion, which LyleHopwood already covered.)

This video did not strike me as empowering at all, either for them or for any woman watching. It made me question the guy’s motives and lack of research.

“And all these years, I thought a vulva was a Swedish automobile!”

A really good friend of mine is a pretty prolific porn actress. Every so often I go to her “clubpornname.com” site because I enjoy seeing what she’s up to in her career (is that creepy? I’m a lady, if it helps), and I find it all very interesting.

I already knew speculums were a ~thing~ in porn, but I still wasn’t quite prepared for what I saw one day, as I was scrolling casually through her recent updates.

I have seen more of my friend’s vagina and vulva than I’ve seen of my own. I’m not sure how to feel about that.

No, I missed the beautiful cervix site up to now. I do remember seeing this art installation about vulvas though. (I think it was on boing boing at some point.)

how has she been shaving it and never seen it? surely that’s dangerous.

Stewie is traumatized by Hustler, which is probably not a good introduction to the subject.

Danger zone!

If ever a guy deserved a good beating, it was the redhead’s ex-boyfriend.

They’re boxy, but they’re good.

“it looks a lot more innocent than I expected”

…What? Did you expect it to have teeth? What does a guilty vulva look like?

Even if it happened 20 years ago and you were still angry with yourself for never telling anyone for so long?

People do things for their own reasons.
