Sep 29 2013 Fb status: Cliteracy Project

OK. As an interesting followup to the more self-declaredly holistic vagina article I linked, here is BASIC BIOLOGY I *completely didn't know* about the clitoris. Which should ALSO be part of basic sex education! (insert Viking YARRRRRRR! here : P! ) Wow, are we repressed. Also: Boy, that explains A LOT.

The ongoing performance art/determined public information campaign (thank you Lara for this eye-opener):

One of the articles linked within this one points out that the physical biology was recorded (in Euro/US history) at least in the 16th century, in 1841, and in 1949, but has just been essentially rediscovered in 1998ish. I kinda wish I'd paid more attention in BodyWorlds ... but if you don't know to look ...

I am curious how many of you knew about this, and when you were told/found out? I'll go first: I found out at about 10:30pm tonight, thanks to one of the many awesome school-moms I have the good fortune to have been thrown together with :).

And now I am going to go do another load of laundry.
