Join us this week for an episode that has taught us so much! This week we interview Dr. Melanie Altas from the BC Centre for Vulvar Health. We talk about the misuse of terminology with regard to referring to female anatomy. Why we do that and the affect it has on health and pleasure? Most people of all genders use the term vagina which is the inside when they are talking about the outside which is the vulva.
Why do we all say Vagina when we mean Vulva? What is the Truth About Vagina V Vulva? What is what? We need more education for women and men. If women are not using the correct terminology to describe their own bodies, then men certainly won't know what words to use. How does this misuse of terminology affect pleasure and how women see their bodies? We also talk about health and what women should be conscious of.
Education is key so conversations are not shrouded in shame. We also love the use of the word advocate! Advocate for your health and pleasure. There is no need to be awkward. The more we talk the less awkward it becomes. We discuss with Dr. Altas how to start those conversations.
This conversation was educational and informative and showed us that we still have a long way to go! We know you will enjoy and learn a lot whether you have a vulva and a vagina or not!
As usual there is chat from Mel & Suzie, banter, laughter, some Britishmisms, some education, and so much more!
Tune in every Wednesday for a new episode.
