Like seriously I wish we had a more comprehensive sex education program in the U.S. You know how many guys I know who had no idea an unaroused vagina is only 2-3 inches deep? Or that the cervix raises up when aroused to accommodate dick? Or that if a girl is “tight” that generally means she’s not turned on and you’re shitty in bed? Or that the cervix has an entire cycle it goes through throughout the month where is changes hardness, placement in the vagina, wetness? Like, when you’re ovulating your cervix gets soft and raises high up into the vagina and your hormones get you really horny. It’s like natures way of moving the furniture around and fluffing the pillow for dick because it wants to get pregnant. And before menstruation, it gets really hard and low in the vagina. It’s basically inactivating it’s Facebook and saying “I just need some alone time for a few days”
Ladies and gentlemen, take a moment to learn about vaginas. Men, take an interest into your woman’s menstrual cycle!
U.S. Needs better sex Ed because I’m a 23 year old woman and didn’t even know all of this
Hi I had no idea about the cervical cycle.
God bless this post pls share it far & wide
Very informational! Pictures of an entire cycle here.
Ok I didn’t know about the cervix thing until recently and I always wondered why sometimes sex would be painful and other times it would be fine.
This is what they don’t teach you in school that you really need to know.
Very true. I recommend Animal by Sara Pascoe for eeeeveryone on this website. It not only explains so much about the female experience of heterosexual sex that sex education glances over or misses out, it provides great food for thought about the way society regards female sex and the female body the ways in which we internalise that. It’s both a warm and funny autobiographical tale and a look at the current understanding of evolutionary biology.
Even if you feel pretty well informed about the biology of sex (and I’m not much younger than the author herself and I learned stuff!), it’s worth it to question assumptions and attitudes you don’t even necessarily realise you have.
It also focuses on the science of love at least as much as the mechanics of sex. Anyone involving themselves in heterosexual boinking and/or relationships would get a lot from it.
