Doctors Say Women Can Experience ‘Blue Vulva’

Men have long complained about “blue balls”— but the phenomenon is not specific to men. Women can also suffer “blue vulva” after sex, according to a urologist. And it is all down to a rush of blood to the genitals during arousal, which causes an uncomfortable feeling for both men and women.

Speaking on her YouTube channel, which she uses to dispel medical disinformation, an associate professor of surgery at the University of Maryland, said “blue vulva” occurs when women are “aroused and don’t achieve climax.” The urologist explains that as blood vessels narrow in the vulva, uterus, and ovaries, this blood build-up can cause an uncomfortable heaviness. Thankfully, it’s not dangerous.

Study Finds Only Half of British Women Can Identify the Pussy on a Diagram

A new study conducted for Gynecological Cancer Awareness Month in September asked British women to identify their lady parts on a diagram. The website encourages women to “take part in our quiz on the female anatomy and see if you can correctly label all the different parts of the female anatomy.” So, how’d they do? The results were pretty shocking.

Only half of the 1,000 women polled for the survey could correctly locate the pussy—just 56 percent. And less than a third could correctly label all six parts. Think it’s just Brits who are too busy drinking tea and eating biscuits to learn their own anatomy? A 2014 Yale University study found that US women are equally incompetent when it comes to knowing how their own bodies work. Interestingly, the British study also found that 70 percent of women could correctly identity the foreskin, penis and testes. Looks like both Brits and Americans need to bone up on their sexual education!
