FEMALES HAVE SMEGMA, TOO!

SMEGMA, a Secretion of Mammalian Genitals.

 

 

Smegma, a transliteration of the Greek word {σμήγμα} for soap,
is a combination of exfoliated (shed) epithelial cells,
transudated skin oils, moisture, and bacteria that can
accumulate under the foreskin of males and within
|the vulva of females.

 

It has a characteristic strong odor and taste.

 

Smegma is common to all mammals, male and female.

 

Mycobacterium smegmatis is the characteristic bacterium
involved in smegma production, and is generally thought
to form smegma from epidermal secretions.

 

Note: Females secrete much more Smegma
than males, as they have a much larger
area to protect in the vagina.

 

Slang Terms: 'Cheesey for males';

'Fishy for females.'

FEMALES HAVE A FORESKIN, TOO!

The prepuce is a retractable piece of skin which covers part

of the genitals of primates and other mammals...

Male and Female !

 

 

On a male, this covers the head of the penis (the glans penis)... [Foreskin.]

 

 

On a female, it surrounds and protects the clitoris... [Clitoral Hood.]

CIRCUMCISION - SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION.

Foreskin Sexual Function / Circumcision Sexual Dysfunction.

 

The human foreskin is highly innervated, and vascularized sensitive erogenous tissue. 

 

It plays an important role in normal human sexual response and is necessary for normal copulatory behavior.

An understanding of this role is now emerging in the scientific literature.

Removal of the foreskin (circumcision) interferes with normal sexual function.

 

This page brings together, in one place, scattered material relevant to the study of the role of the foreskin in human sexuality, and the dysfunction caused by its amputation.

The penis and foreskin:

This page presents information that most parents are not aware of
at the time they make the circumcision decision.       

Doctors usually do not provide this information.

If you are under 18, we recommend that you share and       
discuss this information with your parents.

For a further look at this anatomy, including photographs,
visit Circumstitions (Hugh Young).

Hugh's site also includes an excellent animation to illustrate retraction.

Dr John R. Taylor, co-author of two medical anatomical papers
about the foreskin, explains the latest research
at the Ridged Band website.

Welcome to the "Intactivism Pages."

 

The struggle for genital integrity and against the involuntary
genital modification of  children of any sex.

is on intactness, rather than on circumcision. ]

LOSSES FROM CIRCUMCISION.

LOSSES FROM CIRCUMCISION.

 

[Circumcision removes several critical components of male sexual anatomy.]

 

 

 

Many people think circumcision removes nothing more than a little extra skin.

 

However, circumcision removes several critical components of male

sexual anatomy.

 

This list enumerates everything currently known to be physically lost

after circumcision.
 

Alongside these physical losses, it is important to remember that whenever

a child is circumcised, by far the greatest loss is his choice to make

decisions about his own body and his own sex life when he becomes an adult.
