Guest guest Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 Anne, These are very important questions. I am really glad you asked, because I suspect that a lot of women don't really understand the basics. We often don't get taught this useful stuff at school, or if we do, it is so long ago and we have forgotten. I am amazed that gynos don't explain more when they do our exams, they could do a lot more to educate women. Or perhaps they are worried that " knowledge is power " . A really excellent book on the subject is " A gynecologists second opinion " by Dr. who is on the board of NUFF and sometimes posts on this site. Make sure you get the edition with the orange cover, published in 2003. I am sure there are also lots of websites, and hope that a lot of women will respond to this post, I'll be interested to see what they come up with myself. Carla has posted a couple of good ones on sexuality before now.
