Add to my list of things I just don't understand: the apparent running cultural joke about "finding the clitoris." Isn't that like "finding the nose"? It's neither hard to see nor unpredictably placed. It's, y'know, at the top, in the middle. What's to find?
Perhaps it's a conspiracy to set the bar low, so we can all feel good about our sexual prowess.
ReplyDelete(But have you ever had to find one other than your own?)
Bruno - Maybe? And yes.
ReplyDeleteMine's a little off-center.
ReplyDeleteBut still, yeah, not so hard to find. And yet I have met people who've had trouble.
it IS admittedly a little less straightforward than a penis.
ReplyDelete(heh heh heh straightforward. that sound like an erection. heh heh heh.)

ReplyDeleteI suspect for a very small (and declining) number of guys, the word "clitoritis" is just a word, something that they have never seen and have no clue which portion of the genitalia it refers to. (Umm... is it like, that flappy thing or somethin'?) Possibly even a few women too if they've never had Sex Ed and never masturbated.
ReplyDeleteI never totally got that one, either. And as a boy, it's weird, because unless you have some experience early, you start hearing the jokes about how men can't find one before you actually get the chance to try to touch one. Then, when you do, you think, "Really? That was so tough?"
ReplyDeleteI always heard the jokes and never understood them. I could find it pretty easy on any of the girls I went searching for it on.
ReplyDeleteOf coarse, on two of them I think I might have been the first to find it, so it's possible there are some ijiots who just can't find their nose on their own face.
Well, I also think it has something to do with the fact that this is NOT something they teach in sex ed. (or, at least not in MINE.) yeah, sure they handed out those diagrams, but they would point out the vagina, say- "Penis goes there," and that was about it.
ReplyDeleteI have met a number of people-- both men and WOMEN who couldn't find it. Then again, they were fundies who believed being naked was sinful, so not the best group to hold up as an example.
I dunno either. But out of a couple of thousand posts on my site about 4% of my visits go to the the post "how to find someone's clitoris if you don't already know."
