Lesson 003 - It's a Vulva, Not a Vagina
Manage episode 493505461 series 3676464
In this episode of A Broad Sex Education, we're breaking down what school left out. We cover the science of female sex and reproductive anatomy, explaining the difference between the vulva and vagina, introducing the full structure of the clitoris, and exploring how all of it actually works. Then we take a brief trip through history to learn how and why the clitoris has been overlooked in science and medicine for centuries. Finally, we wrap up with a language pop quiz to test your knowledge of the euphemisms used to talk about female anatomy.
