FACTS: FUN AND OTHERWISE
Just a few to begin with…
Women have the only human organ said to exist solely for pleasure — the clitoris. However, the first scientific paper to provide a correct medical mapping of the clitoris — proving there was another 90% to the organ under the skin, and just not the “button” above it — was only published in 1998 (by Dr. Helen O’Connell*, Australia’s first female urologist), making the clitoris younger than Seinfeld and Friends, in a sense. O’Connell wasn't able to correct anatomy until 2005. [*Interview coming soon!]
The tip of the clitoris alone has around 8,000 nerve endings, the penis some 4,000 and the vagina, very few. Indeed, vaginal biopsies can be and are performed without anesthesia. In other words, referring to the entirety of female genitalia as a vagina is to define it by that which gives males, not females, the most pleasure.
As recently as the 1980s, med school anatomy books were still describing certain aspects of female genitalia as “a failure of male genital formation.” This begs the question: what does success for a species look like if (the majority) half of its population doesn’t “fail” anatomically?
Humans are among just a handful of mammals on the planet whose females can have sex always, and not just when ovulating/in heat. With fertile women ovulating just a few weeks a year, for just part of their entire sexual lives, this means females have exponentially more recreational, than procreational, sex.
