sex & the city

Upon the insistence or rather encouragement of a friend my current post will deviate from the previous format. For the most part this post is directed and written in the service of helping women understand men. If it helps you, please forward it to all of your female friends and male friends who are in need of some compassion from the women they love.

Sometime ago, Oprah interviewed the first pregnant "man." He was previously a she, who became a he. This was not all that interesting or surprising to me however when she (I will continue to refer to this individual as a she) explained that her male physiological characteristics were the result of male hormone intake, the conversation became more interesting. Oprah in her Oprahesque way asked the obvious question i.e. what was the state of her genitalia. This ex-woman explained that she still had a vagina but as a result of male hormone therapy her clitoris had become a small but functional penis. That is when the light bulb went on over my head.

In the absence of mental or manual stimulation women are generally unaware of their clitoris however if a clitoris was a penis and was touching one's leg, one's pants, one's underwear, being stimulated when one walked, crossed legs, took a tissue out of thy pocket how would one think about much else. I finally understood why men are far more preoccupied with sex than women.

Try, for a moment, to imagine your clitoris as large and as external as a penis, hanging there touching your leg, getting further stimulated when you cough, sneeze or cross your legs. Can you imagine what walking would be like? I hope this will change your viewpoint as much as it has changed mine.
