Power to the Puh: 8 Vagina Facts Every Woman Should Know

The Bermuda Triangle. The Snatch. The Pussycat. Whatever you call it if you have one it is important you know what's going on with the vagina. Here I have compiled a few facts that are key to unveiling the mystery and revealing the power that is the vagina.

1. The vagina is a self-cleaning organism

Giphy

Skip the cleaning fads. The douches and the washes for your vagina. Your vagina is a self-cleaning organism and vaginal discharge is necessary for this process! The healthy bacteria in there helps produce lactic acid. This vaginal ecosystem helps protect you against STDs. My neck, my back the vagina ATTACKS, bad bacteria.

2. The clitoris contains 8,000 very sensitive nerve endings

Giphy

That is a higher concertation of nerve fibers found anywhere else in the male or female body! It also twice the amount of the nerve endings in the penis! We feel all the good vibrations.

3. 1 in 4 women can't get a vaginal orgasm

Giphy

Don't fear! You are not alone! With all of the nerve endings, clitoral situation during intercourse can increase your chances of having an orgasm.

4. Vaginas are also strong enough to clamp down on penises

This lovely trick is known as penis captivus. It is super rare occurrence but it can occur during sexual intercourse. It happens when the muscles of the vagina clamp down on the penis. These muscles are so strong that the penis is unable to withdraw from the vagina. That is one way to get your mate.

5. It’s impossible to lose anything in your vagina.

Giphy

The opening of the uterus is too small for anything to go through it. By the time puberty is over the vagina is normal length of the vagina is about 7.6 cm, the width is about 4.5 cm and normal thickness is about 3.0 cm. So things may get stuck in the vagina, but it will not be lost forever.

6. It lifts

Giphy

Bad joke. But honestly the vagina is pretty SWOL. It lined with muscular ridges to give it this strength. First, the vagina can stretch to great lengths hat would make Elastigirl from the Incredibles jealous. It expands during intercourse but the great stretch is during childbirth. The muscles expand up to 200% during this time. Also, the vagina can hold its weight. "Intimacy coach" Kim Amami has been known to lift objects from jade eggs to surfboard using nothing but her good ol vagina. She teaches vagina kung fu classes to help women develop strength in their vaginal walls. She claims this type of puh training gives vaginal youth.

7. It traps scent to attract a mate

Giphy

No two vaginas smell alike. The sweat glands in the pubic area release chemical substances known as pheromones. Humans have been using pheromones to attract each other for centuries and pubic hair keeps them near you so you smell uniquely like you.

8. Women get their own version of blue balls

Giphy

Known as pink balls (ugh) but this occurs from sexual frustration. Many women do not know this is a thing, leading them to believe it is an STI or some other type of problem. Like blue balls though, it is not dangerous.

The vagina is a tough organ and should be respected. Go forth with a new found respect for the vagina.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.
