Was he like good thinking though?
Yeah.
I was also, I said, you know, when you're doing a vulvaplasty, say,
With a vaginoplasty.

And there's been greater orgasmicity the closer it's located.
I said, have you ever thought of just putting it really close?
Because there's some animals where it's almost like inside and
the vagina.
And I was like, well, that could be kind of great.
And he's like, you know, he was very nice.
He was like, good idea, Mary.
I like that idea, but no.
He said, for one thing, you know, trans women often, they want to look normal.
They want it to look the way it should look.
And there is a certain amount of variation with the placement of the clitoris, but not so much that it's like inside that.
And he said also with a neo-vagina, there's a certain amount of dilation that has to happen after surgery and some douching.
To have a clitoris right there would be uncomfortable, was the answer.
I thought it was a good idea.
Yeah.
