This a drawing of the vulva and other stuff between your legs.
It is a straight on view, with the thighs spread apart.
At the front of your body your pelvic bones come together to form your
pubic bone, which protects your inside parts. The pubic bone has a little
bit of fat on top of it, a cushion, called the mons. By the time you are
through puberty, pubic hair will cover the mons.
Under the mons is the vulva, which is the name for all of the female
parts on the outside of the body. Your vulva is like a rose, with the outer
parts hiding the inner parts.
The outer lips (labia majora in medical terms - labia means lips) are
folds of skin that are the outermost layer of your vulva. They hide and
protect everything within.
Inside of the outer lips are the smaller, redder, more sensitive inner
lips (labia minora ). These lips are made of mucous membrane instead of
skin like the outer lips, which makes them more like your mouth Between
these lips, in a very small space, is a lot of important stuff.
Where the inner lips join on your front (top) side is the clitoris. The
clitoris is small, and feels like a little nub - a little nub that likes
to be touched. The clitoris is made entirely for pleasure, it had no other
function but to help you come to orgasm - sexual climax. Sometimes it is
compared to a manÕs penis, but a penis has to do a few different
jobs while the clitoris is only for pleasure.
Because the clitoris is such a bundle of nerves, it is protected by a little
hood which keeps it from being stimulated all the time.
Next stop on the way down is your urethra, where your pee leaves the body.
The urethra is a short tube which leads up to the bladder.
Beneath your urethra there is the entrance to your vagina, or vaginal
opening. Although it might seem small to you, this opening is able to stretch
quite a bit.
The perineum is the proper name for the space between your vulva and
your anus.
The anus is the ring of muscle at the end of your rectum, which is the
last part of your intestines. So the anus is the point where waste leaves
your body when you poop.
