Yeah they like their routine.  Mine tend to be skittish anyway, so this will really not make them happy.  They're normally not allowed in the rooms upstairs, but I'm going to put food and a litter box in the smaller room so they have a 'safe place' to hide.  

That's a good idea. 

 

The movers are here now, so boyfriend and I have taken Tesla into the bedroom. We're all three of us on the bed. I'm editing and boyfriend's watching Star Trek Discovery on the iPad. Tesla is alarmed by all the noise out there, but she's settled down.

Isn't the clitoris the female body's equivalent of the penis ? I think it was less than ten years ago that I read an article saying that describing and drawing the clitoris as a 'button' was totally ridiculous, because it was more like a rod, with the tip being like the head of a penis. I can't remember being taught anything like that in sex ed back in the 1970'ies. 

Yes it is. It's also a lot bigger than you'd think, with 'arms' reaching down along the inner labia and into the vagina. And they still don't teach this is sex ed... The clitoris is kind of a proto-penis. All foetuses start out 'female', with the clitoris turning into a penis later in the pregnancy. This is why when trans dudes take T the clitoris grows considerably. It can then be fashioned into a functioning penis through surgery, though it won't be very big. And the prostate is actually the equivalent of the uterus, if you'd believe that. It's all super interesting, I think. 

 

EDIT: I deeply apologise to anyone who's grossed out by this anatomy lesson, lol!

Don't worry, Timothy...

 

My sex education back in the 1960's was that pathetic that until the eighties I actually thought a clitoris was something that a woman pissed out of.

It's horrifying how many people, even people with vaginas, are woefully ignorant of how the female anatomy even works. There have been a couple of BuzzFeed pieces on this, I'll see if I can find them.

 

Also: Afternoon, Marty!  Hope you're well today.

All grand thanks, Thorn. 

 

Just back from scoping out a few sites for a possible photoshoot. Overcast today, but will head back on a day when the light is better.

 

Hope all's well with you...

Morning, Gary!  How are you today?  

 

Poor kitties... Tesla will not be a happy kitten either when the movers come today... Think I’ll be keeping her in my room. 

All's well here. How about you?

The level of ignorance out there about many things is staggering.

Nothing to be grossed out about. Education is freedom.

Hi, Marty!   Back in those days, people were repressed in general. Thank God for the seventies and beyond.

That's my boyfriend's opinion, too. Apparently Trekkies are very divided on on the topic, though, as it recons some stuff...

Hi right bakaya, Gary! 

 

To tell the truth I never even heard the word clitoris during sex education at school. Actually, thinking about it, there was no sex education at school. We just studied reproduction in biology. Learning how an amoeba splits in two has been really very important to the rest of my life...

 

I think the first time I came across the term clitoris was in 1970 with the publication of Germaine Greer's The Female Eunuch.

Agreed.  

I like all of the Star Treks... TNG used to be my favorite, but this new one 'goes where none has gone before.'   I loved the focus on the Klingons in the first season. I understand them much better now.   Note: I never clued in that Captain Lorca was actually Draco Malfoy's dad until recently.

I was a curious lad, and had to know everything back then, but yeah, I learned nothing in sex ed.

Well, given how little they know about how the human body works, hopefully they won't be reproducing much...

Boyfriend wants me to watch it with him. I will eventually, just haven't got round to it yet. Never been a hug Trek fan (don't dislike it either, just never really got into it) but from what I've seen I think I'll really like Discovery once I try it out.

I really like the characters in this one. Michael Burnham, the lead character, is awesome, but Tilly is my favorite. And Saru, as he is slowly revealed, is brilliant.

20 pages since last I was here? How am I supposed to catch up?  This isn't just an emergency, it's a national emergency!

 

Anyways, howdy y'all!
