I was pretty impressed by this video. These kinds of lessons get swept under the rug and girls grow up all unsure about themselves.
That matches the drapes?
I need to add your name to the witty doper thread going on right now. That’s the funniest thing I’ve read all day. 
Dr. Debbie is hot.
I’d spend all my time in Vagina Class with her.
Shut up, you all wanted to say it too.
I thought of that, and that of changing it, but why?
Yes, but her giant muppet vagina is not hot.
Says you. I find three grown women on national television doing a segment on women’s anatomy and still calling it “down there” friggin hilarious.
I mean, yay and all that it’s being talked about, but isn’t this stuff we should be teaching toddlers, not 40somethings? And for goodness’ sakes, it’s a VAGINA.
Would that all young women learn about their anatomy, and not just from a clinical standpoint. Women who know their bodies are sexy.
Everything I needed to know about sex ed I learned from Monty Python’s Meaning of Life.
I just didn’t want anyone expecting humor, since I normally post only funny videos. And I agree with you, except it just ain’t gonna happen. I could frighten you with the amount of ignorance I had at seventeen.
It’s NOT–it’s a VULVA
And now I can never look at Ernie and Bert the same way…their mouths… :eek:
It’s not “funny,” but it’s not “not funny.”
Good thing Dr. D was attractive. Imagine how unbearable this would’ve been with (say) Dr. Georgia Witkin.
Suggested segment title (across bottom of screen): “Know Your Junk.”
Wait, you don’t pee and have babies from same hole? Boy, I need to watch those German pornos a lot closer.
People don’t know this? I’m a guy, and I’m pretty sure I’ve known this since early puberty. Then again, I may have had an unhealthy fascination with the diagrams in the health book…
“Wonderous Vulva Puppet”.
I’m SOOO naming my band that.
I’m so torn - I mean, it’s so stupid, and yet so many women are so ignorant about it. I guess I’m thrilled that they’re talking about it but sad that they have to.
“Down there”. Seriously? I mean, really? Then again, I read a whole article about the rise of the term “vajayjay”.
Lots don’t, including many on this board. Every time I’ve seen it mentioned in “People Don’t Know That!?!” threads, at least a couple people reply with shock.
I’ve never understood the kind of militant attitude that ‘we must educate women about their bodies or else we’ve failed as a society!’ Women are going to understand the practical applications (so to speak) of their hardware. Why do you need to know more? I mean, I have no idea what exactly my spleen or kidneys look like, but that doesn’t effect my ability to use or enjoy them.
Also, what was the context for this? I’ve never had any urge to do naked yoga in front of a mirror to take a gander - what possible talk-show premise created this clip?
Damn right it’s not safe for work. Why didn’t you warn us it was a Tyra Show video? I couldn’t bear to watch. How did she wind up making it all about her?
I disagree, NinjaChick. At minimum, you ought to be familiar with the territory if you’re going to insert a tampon or diaphragm. There are a lot of things that can go on with your vulva and vagina that are disconcerting if you don’t understand your anatomy. You don’t interact with your kidney or spleen in the same way.
Since I was a teenager, I’ve heard jokes like “Once you get past the smell, you’ve got’er licked.” I grew up in the era of FDS. I just assumed that my vulva was stinky and gross. When I encountered a lover who thought my smell was absolute ambrosia, I was stunned.
If you think your normal, natural smell is stinky and gross, how are you going to know when you’ve got a yeast infection or something? Granted, that’s olfactory rather than visual, but it’s the same principle.
