Forget navel gazing...get out that mirror!
Warning: Links contain lots of talk about girlie bits and not in the happyfun way..

So over on stupid_free, a post is made mocking a post in vaginapagina discussing using hydrogen peroxide to cleanse themselves. wieimmer starts off the fun with this:

Oh, gosh. I'm a girl and I totally cringed at that. Seriously, can there be a TMI note? As much as I appreciate vag-cleaning tips, I'd appreciate a bit of a warning before I click on that. D:

People basically tell wieimmer to grow up, and how could she consider the links TMI when it says right in the post what it's about. Things still aren't horribly wanky until this exchange takes place:

bluemamie: If you were my daughter I'd send you to the bathroom with a hand mirror and some Planned Parenthood tracts. Stat.
:)

dindin: Because no one's ever complete without having examined their vagina with a hand mirror.

chrushdmb: actually, every women should examine themselves with a hand mirror.

dindin: Um, no. Every "women" doesn't need to, really. Frankly I have better things to do with my time and I'm well acquainted with my own anatomy.

crushdmb: Yes, yes you should. I've had doctors actually suggest it. And how long would it take? Five minutes? Tops? And what is more important than your health?

dindin: Hey, you want to sit around with a hand mirror, and your own crotch be my guest. I'll take care of my own health, thanks.

And it just goes downhill from there.

	There are some illustrations of various types of hymens here (NSFW, obviously). Note, they're drawings and won't match perfectly with a mirror-view, but they're pretty interesting in their variety. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Good illustrations, but...

Wow, some of the rest of that site are sort of crazy. Like the stuff on Traumatic Masturbatory Syndrome!!! (which is actally completely unsupported by pretty much everyone.) He's also is terrified of anal sex or even going anywhere near your anus and repeatedly tells the kids asking him questions that it will lead to "distention of your rectum, bleeding, and excruciating pain". Damn, how did I never notice? Isn't my face red.

He says his goal is to get people to masturbate "the normal way". As opposed to what, with a battery charger and a rubber chicken? As long as you're not hurting yourself or someone else, who cares how you spank it?

And my hunt for qualifications lead to this:
"I am a scholar at a major research university (in a field unrelated to sexuality), and there is a question whether this web site would fall under the jurisdiction of their policies on use of human subjects in research and other matters if I identified myself with my affiliation to the university on the site."

Oh good. I feel better now. He has no training and is trying to dodge NIH Human Subject requirements.

	Yep, that's why I didn't mention the rest of the site at all. Crazy shit you can find even when GIS gives you exactly what you're looking for... (Reply to this)(Parent)
