    Context for people unfamiliar: this is a video-assisted intubation. The white bit on the screen is the larynx (vocal cords), and the fold below it is the opening of the esophagus.

    (Edit: I was just looking at this and that is the fanciest portable defib/resus pack I have ever seen. The ones I’ve used were jank as heck and only had a screen for the EKG readout and vitals.)

      One of my moments of youthful enlightenment was realizing the joke isn’t about it being hard to find, it’s that some men don’t look at all.

        Speaking as someone who’s Christian fundamentalist parents did not ensure a proper education about this, whose community enforced it, it takes time to figure out, even with the Internet. I was sexually active years before I ever orgasmed, and even after that, the shame for enjoying sex at all was still engrained. I was aware of my anatomy, but with limited, supervised access to the Internet until 18, it set me up to be metaphorically fucked in my ability to communicate about it. But hey, I’m in my 30s and survived.

          I didn’t consider that at all.
          Glad you’ve managed to work things out in the end.

    This joke has always confused the hell out of me. My very first time I had no trouble finding it. It’s very easy to find. It’s literally the part that sticks out and is the first thing you get to usually.

      We teenage boys debated the mythical clitoris and it’s location, and we all had differing opinions. (This was long before the internet, OK?)

      I actually found the G-spot before the clitoris. Didn’t know it was a thing back then, but damn, it’s an obvious hot spot.

      Partly the joke is that men are selfish and don’t care about the woman’s satisfaction during sex. They can’t find it cause they aren’t looking for it and/or don’t want to.

      Bruh the girl I’m dating can’t find her own clit sometimes because her clit is invisible and doesn’t have a bump until she’s really REALLY excited (mid sex) kinda funny when she told me haha

    i understand that there’s not enough education about the clitoris and the importance of it in sex but the way people talk about it like it’s the g-spot has always made me question what they mean by “finding” it. like, it’s right there. how are you even looking for it

      Like so many things in life, actually giving a shit and genuinely trying gets you like 80% of the way there.

      And assuming you do actually care, you can’t see communication as a weakness.

        i honestly think it might be the result of all this talk about finding it. maybe people don’t find it because they think it’s hard to find. idk. still, public sex education is a must. if someone had said “this is the vulva, and here’s the clitoris” even once in school, i don’t think anyone would have a hard time finding it.

      Honestly same, it’s not like you have to go digging for it, or like it’s different for every woman. It’s right there.

        G-spot is very different between women, in the sense that some don’t seem to get much from it and some forget who they are or the concept of language.

        And honestly I was with a girl once who, I swear on my life, basically didn’t have a clitoris. And I really confirmed this in gynaecological detail. You will think I’m an idiot or something, but it just kind of wasn’t there, and after much effort, I found the equivalent nerve endings slightly off to the left and below the surface. We’re talking a target size less than the head of a dressmaker’s pin.

        I will swear on my life this is true, because through dogged persistence that surprised both of us, I did manage to give her an orgasm. But it was the most challenging orgasm that a tongue has ever coaxed forth. That’s all. If I had less experience I would genuinely not have known what the hell was going on down there.
