The female anatomy is an ensemble cast, but because we’re such a vagina-centric society, we tend to refer to everything down there as ‘the vagina’, and baby, that just ain’t so!

 

Look, it’s not our fault. We’ve been taught by a society who feels uncomfortable teaching about the female body in high school sex-ed, and that’s where most of our misconceptions are coming from.

 

However, the question remains: if we’re using ‘vagina’ as a blanket term for everything south of the border…what is the vagina, proper? 

 

In this episode, I’m peeling back the layers of the vagina, so you never have to lump her in with her equally fabulous co-stars, the vulva and the clitoris, ever again!

 

“When we talk about the vagina, we really have to mean Her Majesty the Vagina, and not Lady Vulva or Empress Clitoris. We have to give each part their due credit, because they each do amazing things.” -Heather Bartos
