I'm saying ask your patient, you know, a little bit more information about how they experience pleasure in the bedroom because it matters.

Because there are patients who really love anterior vaginal wall stimulation.

There are patients who, listen, what did you learn in OBGYN residency about cervix inner innervation?

Cervix has no nerves.

Okay, so everyone hears that, right?

Ob-Gyn, very high academic center, was taught cervix has no nerves.

Yet when you stick the cervix and pinch it for an IUD, does it not hurt people?

They scream.

So there are no nerves.

That doesn't make any sense.

And I'm like, you know, after the X amount of time, you're like...

This is hurting her.

And so the research shows that it's not only innervate, it's not only is it no nerves, it's triply innervated.

There are very few organs that are innervated by three different places.

So it's innervated by the pelvic nerve, the hypogastric nerve and the vagus nerve, which is why you do that.

And they kind of feel, you know, when you say vagal, right?

Which is they get dizzy and nauseated and try to pass out.

Which is also cool because this amazing researcher, Barry Kamazurak, he proved that even someone with a spinal cord injury, if you stimulate their cervix, can have an orgasm because of the vagus nerve, which is just awesome research.

But OBGYNs are taught no nerves.

The actual reality is it's triply innervated.
