I loved this phrase because it sounds so girls-only 7th grade health class. Like, after an uncomfortable and uninformative talk about fallopian tubes and such, the girls would file past the gym teacher, averting their eyes as she hands them each a pamphlet with the words "The Little Penis Inside You" written in swirly tampon ad font. Said brochure would be quickly shoved to the bottom of one's backpack, only to be retrieved for furtive study once in the privacy of one's own room.

I'm not yet sure how I am going to deal with this new information. I kind of don't like the idea that I have a little penis inside of me, although it does explain some past decisions I made. You know, thinking with my little penis and all that.
Also feeling slightly less ladylike than usual and hoping my boob-hugging shirt will negate the effects of this post. Look, boobs! I'm a girl!
ROTFLOL. In reality, it isn't that gals have a little penis inside them, it that's men have a large clitoris attached to them. All embryos begin as female. Those with an xy chromosome trigger testosterone a few weeks later and the clitoris turns into a penis, the ovaries turn into testes, etc.

(Perk) I dont feel so bad now, yesterday my wife was looking down and said to me, "Its looks like a penis only smaller" but now I no, I am not alone. Makes me feel better peace hmm could be a poem, or perhaps a limerick, looking down naah, stills looks like its about the same size, perhaps I could use coffee grounds, nope its to abrasive, geez I am out of luck, bummer

I feel like I just accidentally walked into the ladies restroom. Oversized clitoris? Thank you. I am blushing and leaving now.

No, not oversized. Go ahead. Click on the link to the article and sneak a peek. No one will see you. The clitoris we see is like the tip of the iceberg. Most of it is hidden away.

Oh. I looked. It actually explains a thing or two.
You gals have a great thing going....and going :)

The clitoris is a sexual organ that is present only in females. . . . It is the only organ in either sex that is solely for sexual pleasure.
Do we have it made or do we have it made?! No wonder so many men hate women! I had to laugh when I clicked on the article and saw that it was a post of yours, Loretta. That's two for two for the night.

Girls just wanna have fun...and boy, are we equipped for it. What better proof there is a Goddess?

In terms of human embryology and growth....it should make sense that we all start from an egg+sperm and have to build our gender characteristics out of the same material.
I have every reason to believe that the same nerve tracts innervate the genital areas of both human males and females, and it's only probably somewhere inside the nervous system things may be slightly different in terms of perception of sensation.
One thing that is totally different in gross terms is that the male orgasm is directly linked to the prostate gland (as far as I know...) and there is no analog in females to point to. This is the basis for the female ability to orgasm repeatedly and the male refractory period which in some way is dependant on the prostates ability to refill and prepare to provide the fluid medium that both buffers out the normal female vaginal acidity and provides food for the sperm to use for energy as they swim inside the vagina and on towards the cervix and uterus.
I'm glad you decided to seed this article as it teaches important anatomic facts and also is a basis for people to learn more about something that for the usual reasons is treated as a taboo subject rather than the normal human thing that it is and does.

I hadn't thought of the prostrate as the reason why men can only orgasm once in a short period of time. Great to know.
If that's true, then I'm so glad we don't have a prostrate.
And you know me....I love defying taboos. Everyone ought to try it. It's great fun.

Yes, at least in my mind and to my own training the prostate connection makes sense....
And, more proof, as men age they tend to go longer and longer on the refractory period...as I strongly suspect the prostate just peaks out and starts to slow down.....just like we all do.
So, yes, as I have often joked about with my female colleagues...."it all tends to even out over the long haul..." as just about the time females stop "leaking" from the vagina males start "leaking" from the end of the penis. And, yes, as the prostate gland literally sits around the urethra at as it comes out of the urinary bladder....again.....it's an enlarge prostate the leads to the late life "leaking".
I think in some ways the female's issues can be solved a lot easier than the males. E.g. If the female "dries up" you just add lube and it will still work just fine. If the male starts leaking...it just can't be dealt with in any fashion not involving serious side effects of one type or another.
So, as least as God has made us, I feel we are indeed very equal in terms of what we have and what we must suffer...it just takes a while for things to even out.

See, Loretta? I'm not far off the mark when I say that it's not women that are born without a penis, it's that men are born without a vagina. This is just a little twist (bend, ahem) on that idea!

ROTFLOL....oh, I agree....poor guys will just have to suffer through...
Did you see my seed on why we menstruate? Interesting new info I think you'll like:
Biology isn't telling anyone to deprive women of reproductive control
Emera suggests [the reason why women menstruate] is entirely evolutionary, and involves maternal-fetal conflict. The mother and fetus have an adversarial relationship: mom’s best interest is to survive pregnancy to bear children again, and so her body tries to conserve resources for the long haul. The fetus, on the other hand, benefits from wresting as much from mom as it can, sometimes to the mother’s detriment.
