Focus Theme:
2021 Health and Wellbeing

Why don't we lose our hymens? Why do we fart more when we're on our period? And how similar are the clitoris and penis, really? Here's the truth about our bodies. A lot of people feel like it's embarrassing to talk about menstrual blood, orgasms, your vulva or vagina, or the various fluids that they produce - even though all these things are completely natural and fulfill a purpose. Did you know, for example, that it's normal to have diarrhea during your period? Or that women can ejaculate when they orgasm, too? In this series, we talk about the how and why. For guys and people who don't experience this: Don't be shy, come on in! You might be surprised by what you learn.
