Our year 10 text book for physiology was Sears Physiology for Nurses. After about a week the new books would automatically open to a page with an actual picture of female genitals. I do believe that it was taken from the camera secreted in a toilet (this is only my idea by the way,) I am sure there is a much better explanation. We found it fascinating and I was amazed as I had been brought up never to touch myself or try to look at myself. Of course that would have been physically impossible because the only mirror we had at home was on the dressing table. I just couldn't see myself crouched up there trying to sneak a peek at the forbidden. Why would I want to anyway as I had the book.
Now that is as maybe but the male genitalia was left more to our imagination. There was a diagram of the penis but it did not enlighten most of us in the class except I suppose for girls who had brothers or nudist dads. I had none of these, no father or brothers or uncles or grandparents so my grasp of male physiology was absolutely nil. I remember going to a party with an Asian lad with buck teeth. We sat on the floor listening to the new record, 'A Hard Day's Night' and kissing, kissing and kissing. This was quite difficult as the buck teeth caused drool to flow down over my chin. It was like having an amorous bath. Anyway back to the subject of penis's. When we stood up to dance I found there was an impediment between me and my Asian friend. I had no idea that the penis actually got excited and stood to attention just from kissing. I was totally clueless and still none the wiser as to what the penis actually looked like.
After the whole Sears debacle I later read 'The Joy of Sex' that left me even more confused than ever. That too had no actual penis pictures. When I finally did see a penis I think I was both horrified and amused out how awful looking the uncircumcised penis is. I think a blind person with a pair of pinking shears could design a more aesthetically pleasing appendage. No offence guys!!!!!!!!!!!!
