You got it, buddy
(lemmy.world)
I too quiz my partner on the anatomy of genitalia when we're hanging out
Wait, what, you don't have a cloaca?
Alright class settle in, today's lecture:
Argonian Sexual Dimorphism:
- How does a reptile have mammaries?
Magick
... Maybe they are Hist sap repositories?
There probably actually is some lore on this, and knowing Elder Scrolls / Bethesda, it is probably inconsistent/contradictory.

Uno Reverse Card:
- Tell her to point to the Vas Deferens
- "We're not so different, you and I"
- High-five
- True gender-equality finally accomplished
Easy: it was once on the island of Lesbos, but it’s now in its rightful place in the British Museum and there is shall remain!
I mean, the state of sex education in the US is abysmal, misinformation and just no information is so rampant that it's rather silly to expect the average young adult to know the detailed anatomic names.
In my life so far, I've dated plently of women who didn't know anatomical names, or with a few, even basic signs of what a vaginal health problem looks like.
With one, I had to deduce that her described urinary problems were possibly actually bacterial vaginosis when I uh, also noticed the smell.
She got extremely pissed off, thinking I was insulting her, thinking I was saying she had an STD/STI... a week later she's back from the doctor and yep, I was right, now she's on antibiotics.
How many women can, off the top of their head, identify the vas deferens, cowper's gland, or know that testicular torsion is even a thing?

idgaf what "science" says.
It's. 👏 Still. 👏 A. 👏 Planet. 👏
I know it says bf (which I will assume means boyfriend)
But I'd you read the studies:
45% of men aged 18-25 had never approached a woman in person for a date
29% of all men said they never approached a woman in person for a date before
27% said it had been more than one year since they approached a woman for a date

Pair that with the quality of education and it is of no surprise that a boyfriend doesn't know what they never knew existed in the first place
The first link doesn't work the second is twitter. The third didn't appear to contain the stats you cited.
From this we can infer that at least 2% of survey respondents were less than a year old
There are studies that show that 102% of populist studies are BS.
For some guys it might well be light years away.
So weird to hear this. Like the whole area just isn’t that big, surely eventually most people stumble into it even if they aren’t making an effort…
I very rarely come across a labia minora either at work or at home, but maybe I'm not working in the right place or something.
Yeah after hearing the "can't find the clitoris" and "it doesn't exist" jokes for so long, I was kind of shocked by how easy it was when I finally got down there...
I do believe that there are men who have this issue, but it seems kind of fucked up that the woman would just complain about it rather than take 3 seconds to show them. It's not like it's well hidden or anything.
I always assumed the "can't find the clitoris" jokes we're based in men ignoring the clitoris. Not that they literally could not find it. It's like right there.

To be fair, the majority of women, who have said bits, don't know what they are either, most seem to think it is all vagina.
Aren’t most of the external parts actually the vulva? I thought the vagina was just the tube…
It is, but properly naming things isn't something Internet users are very good at.
I mean, colloquially it is.
Everything’s vagina

To be fair, it would be easier if English had kept the English terms for anatomy.
But for some reason everyone decided to only use Latin and Greek derived words.
Like seriously. Nearly every time I look at Wikipedia for anything, English articles only ever use scientific terms hardly anyone will find useful.
Example:
Wolf's entire biological taxonomical tree from species to order. Both the translated German Wikipedia title and the English one:
Species: Wolf <> Wolf
Genus: Wolf- and Jackal-like <> Canis
Tribe: True Dogs <> Canini
Family: Dogs <> Canidae
Suborder: Doglike <> Caniformia
Order: Predatory animal <> Carnivora
Ask someone what "Caniformia" is and most would probably think you're talking about some region on the US West Coast. Ask someone what "Doglike" refers to and most would probably guess reasonably correct.
I disagree, using Latin terms means that all technical terms stay the same across languages.
This doesn't apply to most other fields though.
In physics, only the abbreviations are (mostly) the same internationally. But the full terms are always translated into languages, despite being equally as technical.
In math, no terms are international - only the specification of formulas is standardized.
Music is the exception but their field belonged to elitist pricks for most of history tbf.
Art (painting) uses translated terms everywhere from what I can tell. There are no translated terms for paints, canvas type, style, periods etc.
History certainly doesn't use international terms either. Medieval, stone age, bronze age, modern age etc. are all translated into each language.
Amd frankly, I don't see why anatomy has to use international terms whatsoever while other fields can use translated terms without any issue.

Feel free to have a look-see at what that could look like. Taxonomy isn't "taxonomy" anymore, it's "setlore." Find that easier to understand?
https://anglish.fandom.com/wiki/Lifelore ("Lifelore" is biology)
It's an "Anglish" wiki, based on Poul Andersson's "Uncleftish Beholding", a text that's trying to see what English would look like if it didn't have latin borrowings as much, just the teutonic words.
Here's some atomic theory ie "uncleftish beholding".
The firststuffs have their being as motes called unclefts. These are mighty small: one seedweight of waterstuff holds a tale of them like unto two followed by twenty-two naughts. Most unclefts link together to make what are called bulkbits. Thus, the waterstuff bulkbit bestands of two waterstuff unclefts, the sourstuff bulkbit of two sourstuff unclefts, and so on. (Some kinds, such as sunstuff, keep alone; others, such as iron, cling together in chills when in the fast standing; and there are yet more yokeways.) When unlike unclefts link in a bulkbit, they make bindings. Thus, water is a binding of two waterstuff unclefts with one sourstuff uncleft, while a bulkbit of one of the forestuffs making up flesh may have a thousand or more unclefts of these two firststuffs together with coalstuff and chokestuff.

Sharing a world with another term with less precise meaning is a bug not a feature
The fact that the entire medical industry does this. I like how ChubbyEmu on Youtube will do the vocabulary resurrection "Hyponatremia. Hypo meaning low, natra meaning sodium, emia, presence in blood. Low sodium presence in blood" and then he'll use the English phrase for the rest of the video. "Because he had low blood sodium..."
The entire medical industry does this so that in every language on the planet they are talking about the same thing and know that they are talking about the same thing and that there hasn't been a translation error. Hyponatremia is hyponatremia no matter what language you speak.

kept the English terms for anatomy.
Please tell me where I can find out about the original English words for these things.
Ask a cunning linguist?
I got confused because i initially read that as Worf instead of Wolf, and i thought that it was weird trying to make a point with a Star Trek character.

The correct answer is: "I forgot, you should show me."
That's the flappy part!

It's so much better to offer a demonstration.
