I know it doesent actually matter if I’m either but I’m a curious girl that likes to know things about myself! So I have a pretty visible hood, like if I open my legs I can see it poking out but my labia minora is basically non existent. So I’m just curious if I’m in the middle or which way I lean!

I'm a college student taking an anatomy and physiology class. The class is taught by a retired male MD. We just went over the reproductive system and I am confused. As a woman, I thought I knew quite a bit about female reproductive anatomy but now I'm not so sure and I want to find out what's accurate.

He said that eggs are released from the ovaries during a woman's period. He said that during your period you are releasing 1-2 eggs per day. He gave examples stating that if your period lasts 7 days it means you released around 14 eggs from the ovaries. Is that right? It doesn't sound right. If our period is a shedding of the endometrial lining that the fertilized egg is supposed to implant in, then how would pregnancy ever occur if ovulation and your period happen at the same time? We tried to get clarification but he insisted the way he explained was accurate.

*edit to add: I was pretty sure that while it is possible to ovulate and get pregnant while on your period, I did not think that was necessarily common.

*another edit: thanks everyone who has commented! I thought I was going crazy for thinking something was really off about what he said. I think he is confused or not being clear about something. I'll take your advice and talk to the department chair.

I’m recovering from a surgery and decided to work through my kindle library of smut; thanks to “Stuff Your Kindle Days”, I had A LOT of material.

One phrase I have read in several books is about swelling breasts. Like, I get genitals becoming engorged, nipples contracting and peaking, but breasts swelling? From arousal??

Did I get the base model of boobies and have to upgrade to experience swollen sex tits or is this just some dumb erotica phrase authors use?

And the authors are women themselves!?!?!?

ETA: adding examples as I come across them

“Her breasts swelled, heavy and aching with neglect.”

”She didn’t want this erotic hum swimming through her veins, following in the wake of Newton’s toy, filling up her breasts until they swelled…”

(Dis)Honorable, contradictory mention: ”Her areolae were swollen with desire, making them seem twice their normal size. The nipples were tight beads, lost among a sea of goose bumps that covered her breasts…”

My husband shared his day at work this last week and told me his boss pointed out to everyone that no one would want to drink out of a glass that has had multiple drinks and mouths on it, but a fresh clean glass is alright.

My husband and I both agreed when I said that it's fine when the glass regularly cleans itself, and he apparently told Boss Man that he needs to have a long conversation about female anatomy with him sometimes later. He works construction, so this type of thing is not uncommon for a construction worker.

I’ve been sharing these r/badwomensanatomy posts with my husband because they are so hysterical. I guess a core memory was unlocked, because he remembered some “sex ed” that a boy in his class was sharing with other boys on the playground. His lofty sexual knowledge was this: “A girl has a vagina and there’s a cherry in it. To have sex, you pull it out. Then if you suck on the cherry it paralyzes the girl.” That was the sum total of his knowledge. My husband said even at 8 years old he knew that wasn’t right, but couldn’t say why. We’re wondering what that kid overheard that got garbled into this translation!

It has all my favourite misconceptions about the female anatomy!
