So most clinicians, and this is myself included, I was OBGYN and I could not have drawn a clitoris, anatomically correct clitoris,
Until I saw the Gumby picture and you're wearing the clitorid necklace.
So for those of you on YouTube, she has a beautifully jeweled clitoris.
This is what they look like.
I only knew the top part.
And I think of all the stitches I threw in the Bulba Cavernosa, you know, repairing lacerations after delivery.
And I was going right through these little legs on her necklace right here.
So it's really interesting.
I'm obsessed with this concept of a word called homologs.
Okay, homologs are this idea that the head of the penis and the head of the clitoris are exactly the same thing.
We all form, we're the same.
It's the same tissue.
It looks the same under the microscope.
There's a shaft of the clitoris that you can kind of feel if you go kind of beyond the head of the clitoris.
And the penis also, there's the shaft, and then the penis splits into two, and it has these things called crura, which are these legs that go all the way down to your butt bones, okay?
Clitoris also goes all the way down to your butt bones.
And so this idea, the scrotal skin is the same as the labia majora.
The line that goes down the center of a penis and a scrotum, it's the same as the labia minora itself.
So fascinating.
The male urethra, the tube that men pee and ejaculate through, is the same as this most important tissue in the world, which is called the vulvar vestibule, which is the opening around the urethra where women have pain with sex, which is so common and we see all the time and no one examines properly.
