Argh to the quackery and waste. This is the kind of crap that happens in countries afraid of sexuality… oh wait.

…bloody scams… and so sad the victims of this quackery.

I’d like to think back to a time long, long, long ago when women were allowed to be hairy as all hell, had a variety of breasts sizes, different types of vaginas and no one (*man*) complained that they needed to shave, have bigger breasts or a tighter vagina, or be missing toes to fit into over expensive shoes. Then again there was a lot of running from tigers and foraging for food and no birth control. *sigh*

I don’t think primitive peoples had very much trouble with predators. Humans are horribly easy prey to catch. If we were truly prey for large cats, we’d be extinct by now. Sure, every so often you hear of a “man eater,” but that’s rare.

Also, I have such a beef with the idea that we’d be sunk without artificial birth control. There’s a real easy way to avoid pregnancy…don’t have intercourse. Notice, I did not say, “Don’t have sex.” Just no intercourse.

It’s such an elegant, simple solution. Only in our phallic-centered culture, do we believe that it only counts if the guy sticks his dick in a vagina. What’s wrong with manually and orally stimulating each other to orgasm?

Usually, my relationships start out that way. I like to work up to intercourse. Actually, in a strange way, the earlier time before we had intercourse seemed in a way to be more intimate. When the intercourse starts, it’s like something is lost. It becomes an expectation of sorts. When we were doing other things, it was like each of our orgasms was equally important. When we started having intercourse, it was like my orgasm was something to be “gotten out of the way” so that we could move on to the main event.

I just think that as soon as humans figured out where babies came from, they were perfectly able to control reproduction fairly well, if they just didn’t have the male ejaculate in the female.

Some doctors criticize the secrecy. If the procedure makes such a difference in women’s sex lives, they ask, why not share the surgical techniques with everyone?

Miklos has a concise answer: “We’re running a business.”

Well, clearly Dr. Matlock has patients’ best interests at heart.

Sure. But my understanding of the pain of childbirth is that it involves the uterus, not so much vaginal nerves.

Um. Have you given birth?

I know the experience differs for all . . . but it wasn’t le babe traveling down the birth canal that was horribly painful. In fact, pushing, while it did involve the feeling of incredible pressure, didn’t involve a whole lot of pain (for me).

The transition contractions, though . . . but that’s all cervix.
