Sexual Practices of Quodoushka: Teachings from the Nagual Tradition

Product Information

In 2021, a study in the UK showed that few are able to label the structure of the vulva correctly. [146] [147] [148] It is typical for the inner lips, or labia minora, to be visible. They may dangle below the outer lips or otherwise be prominent. The bulbs of vestibule are a pair of subcutaneous erectile tissues analogous to the penile bulb and corpus spongiosum in males. They extend on each side of the vestibule and join in front of the urethral orifices. Blood supply and innervation

Lobules: There are 15 to 20 sections called lobules in the fatty tissue. They are attached to ducts that can produce milk. To emphasize the pleasant in life is not a bad thing, of course—it is simply a limited and limiting approach to life. If Nines see the silver lining in every cloud as a way of protecting themselves from the cold and rain, other types have their distorting viewpoints, too. For example, Fours focus on their own woundedness and victimization, Ones on what is wrong with how things are, and so forth. By contrast, Nines tend to focus on the “bright side of life” so that their peace of mind will not be shaken. But rather than deny the dark side of life, what Nines must understand is that all of the perspectives presented by the other types are true, too. Nines must resist the urge to escape into “premature Buddhahood” or the “white light” of the Divine and away from the mundane world. They must remember that “the only way out is through.” Genitoplasties are plastic surgeries that can be carried out to repair, restore or alter vulvar tissues, [114] particularly following damage caused by injury or cancer treatment. These procedures include vaginoplasty which can also be performed as a cosmetic surgery. Other cosmetic surgeries to change the appearance of external structures include labiaplasties. [115] Some of these procedures, vaginoplasties and labiaplasties, are also carried out as sex reassignment surgeries. [116] [117] Several forms of genital piercings can be made in the vulva, and include the Christina piercing, the Nefertiti piercing, the fourchette piercing, and labia piercings. Piercings are usually performed for aesthetic purposes, but some forms like the clitoral hood piercing might also enhance pleasure during sex. Though they are common in traditional cultures, intimate piercings are a fairly recent trend in Western society. [134] [135] [136] Other forms of permanent modifications of the vulva for cultural, decorative or aesthetic reasons are genital tattoos or scarification (so-called "hanabira"). The clitoris and the labia minora are both erogenous areas in the vulva. Local stimulation can involve the clitoris, vagina and other perineal regions. The clitoris is the human female's most sensitive erogenous zone and generally the primary anatomical source of human female sexual pleasure. [58] Sexual stimulation of the clitoris (by a number of means) can result in widespread sexual arousal and, if maintained, can result in orgasm. Stimulation to orgasm is optimally achieved by a massaging sensation. [46]Cervix - the inferior portion of the uterus. It consists of two parts (supravaginal, vaginal), two openings (internal os, external os) and a cervical canal.

Identify the features of the pelvis and explain how these differ between the adult male and female pelvisThe most prevalent form of non-consensual genital alteration is that of female genital mutilation. This mostly involves the partial or complete removal of genital organs. [140] Female genital mutilation is carried out in thirty countries in Africa and Asia with more than 200million girls being affected, and some women (as of 2018). [140] Nearly all of the procedures are carried out on young girls. The practices are also carried out globally among migrants from these areas. Female genital mutilation is claimed to be mostly carried out for cultural traditional reasons. [140] Etymology A gynaecological examination being carried out in 1822 Labia majora: The labia majora are the fleshy outer folds of protective skin located on each side of the vaginal opening. They cover and protect the more delicate external genital organs. "Labia" is the Latin word for lips. The labia majora is often referred to as the outer lips. Female anatomy includes the external genitals, or the vulva, and the internal reproductive organs, which include the ovaries and the uterus. The uterine tube receives arterial supply from the uterine and ovarian arteries. The former is a branch of the internal iliac artery, and the latter arises from the abdominal aorta. Venous drainage of the uterine tubes is mediated by the tubal veins. These drain into the uterine and pampiniform venous plexuses. In children, the beginning of puberty too early, which includes getting pubic hair, may point to an increased risk of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), according to research.
