We must discuss Vulvas

Vulvas are what? Not a vagina at all!

There are both internal and external genitalia in women who have uteruses. It's possible that you'll call everything a vagina, just like my house guests did. There's no mystery to vulvas! I thought I knew a lot about these topics because I was a budding sex-pert, but my woefully incomplete Good Sex Movies and lack of interest in the topic led me to pronounce everything incorrectly.

In light of the fact that the vagina merely serves as a conduit between the cervix and the outside world (via the vaginal opening), If you want, you can let fingers, penises, and other stimulatory objects enter this chamber along with periods and babies. But what about the bodily exterior? The clitoris, the labia, the urethra, and the glorious vaginal opening? every vulva. As a reminder, the term "vagina" refers to the space between the cervix and the vaginal opening.

Vulva is Latin for "the visible parts." However, the word "vagina" is frequently used to refer to both internal and external things. Who cares about the vulva and vagina? Why is it important? Everyone will be familiar with the term "vagina," which is close enough and widely used. But is that actually the case? Knives wouldn't be referred to as forks.

Although they both belong to the cutlery family, their appearances and functions are very different. Some claim that the term "vagina" is frequently used because it refers to the only area of the male sexual anatomy that is useful. Furthermore, by omitting the word "vulva," we eliminate the clitoris and, consequently, sexual pleasure for those who possess one. Is false information about the vulva a sign of something more serious? I believe it is a sign of how society hides and restricts the sexuality of people with vulva that so many people, both with and without vulva, erase it by equating it with the vagina. Talking about sex can be challenging, especially for young people.

The sexuality and physical appearance of those with vulvas, however, are particularly taboo. I'm thinking back to my adolescence when I say this. For a very long time, I believed that masturbation was immoral and dirty. I believed that my purpose in sex was to satisfy the other person. And I was terrified that someone would find out I was on my period. When I was younger, I felt embarrassed to experiment with sexual pleasure and my body.

The proof of this is also visible on a larger scale: the demand for labiaplasty, a cosmetic procedure in which the labia are cut or reshaped, is increasing globally. Doctors claim that shame and ignorance of the various forms that vulvas can take are both factors. More than 3000 menstruating individuals were surveyed about their attitudes toward menstruation by researchers for the book About Bloody Time. The study revealed a "pervasive menstrual taboo," with people's lives at home, school, and the workplace being affected by shame and secrecy surrounding periods.

A 2005 study discovered a connection between sexual risk-taking, body shame, and menstrual shame. People who felt more at ease with their periods and their bodies also reported being more sexually assertive and taking fewer risks. Inappropriate use of the terms "vagina" and "vulva," ignorance of the reproductive system, and embarrassment all prevent young people from seeking treatment for gynecological issues, according to The Eve Appeal, a UK organization that supports those affected by gynecological cancer. Recently, the "pleasure gap" has come under media scrutiny. According to a 2017 study, women in heterosexual relationships experience less orgasmic sex and less orgasmic satisfaction than their queer counterparts. Researchers attribute this to "heterosexual sexual scripts," in which women have a strong desire to please their partners and vaginal sex is prioritized. However, how does using the right words help? I'm not saying that any of the issues mentioned above will be resolved by simply knowing the proper terminology for your external genitalia.
