My Beautiful Cervix

b3t4

My boyfriend brought this website to my attention as I'm always on about 'girly things' as he puts it I thought I might share it here for those that might be interested as well. The female body is a wonder.

It's a website where a woman takes pictures, with the help of her boyfriend, of her cervix every day for one menstrual cycle. Extremely informative and empowering.

I doubt the filter here at work will let me see that!

\edit Yep I was right

Dragan

I have to be flat out honest and say that sounds completely ****ed up.

Nevyn

That sounds cool.
It's one of the parts of your own body which you are really never going to see.

EDIT:

Just looked at it, funny how much her cervix looks like the gland of the head of a penis.
The changes in the vagina as she goes through her cycle and the different fluids
present is also pretty cool.

Uh, actually I think there are quite a few parts which you are never really going to see. Hopefully not anyway!

Nevyn

Well I can easily see behind my own ears with a mirror but the list of body parts that you can touch with your finger but not see is not that many.

Phototoxin

They should show stuff like this in sex ed classes.

brianthebard

Well that was...different.

stovelid

That's great crack.

And the point is?

Cervix sounds too much like crucifix for my liking.

The point is that it's a woman understanding and appreciating her own body, something that many other women should be encouraged to do more of.

It's tLL ffs, we do this kind of stuff here, it's one of the reasons why tLL is here.

Go away. Seriously.

Fine, I'll go over to tBGRH forum and post a picture of my nut sack so others can appreciate my body with me.

It's very interesting ... but I have to admit, it made me feel quite nauseous. I'm really not sure why!

Nevyn

No, you can try the men's health forum.

midlandsmissus

Ughhh I coudn't resist looking but I wish I hadn't now.


I definitely could have lived happily without knowing what a cervix looked like, now that I've seen it!

It doesn't look beautiful to me at all, it looks disgusting!


And sorry but.....how on earth did he take those photos?????

Nevyn

Plastic speculum, light and camera.
So Dragan you won't be setting up Irelands first cervix portrait photo service then ?

Polleta

I feel slightly ill now.... I'm also not sure I feel like it was anything I needed to know... Hmmm I'll ponder about this one.

Katniss everMean

All I can say is wow.. Not many would put those pictures up for the world to see. Informative

Nope. To be honest i just wouldn't feel comfortable taking shots like that of people i don't know. Maybe if there was a market for it i would overcome that and get the job done? I have no idea!!!

Haven't looked at the pics ( i'm in work you see ) but will do when i get home. I would imagine, given the subect, that the guy used a macro ring flash or else just being in position to take the shots would block the light, most likely has a decent enough camera capable of spot metering as well.

Don't get me wrong, from a photographic perspective i find it interesting, from a biological perspective i find it interesting.

I think i just find it a bit too close to Goatsy.

I think thats cool. My phone wont fit up there so I cant contribute my own cervical diary.

And thats not freaky. The self done cervical piercing I saw a link for once.. now that was freaky.

Gauge

I thought of the cervical piercing too. Both are pretty interesting. I'll check out these pics when I get home, not sure they'd be the most appropriate for the work environment

I do hope he is alright....



I thought this was going to be that doco of the cervix in action during coitus.
Which is actually quite preety.
I have been deeply disapointed.

That's not a bad thing. The differences between sexes is what keeps it interesting.

Some women like to know about the body parts they can't see. It's a natural curiosity, nothing at all unhealthy or unnatural about it - you don't have to be studying medicine to want to appreciate how your bits work. If you don't like it, don't look at it. It very clearly states in the OP what's in the pictures - why bother looking/ commenting if you don't like it?

Jeez, chillax, we're the irrational, hormonal ones...

That these are photos of the changes of the cycle of the month with all it's
changes that has happened to me from the time I was 12.

That is what it looks like to have menstrual coming from the cervix after cramps and bloating and that is what the cervix looks like when it is ripening when ovulation is going to happen.

And there is a picture of that stringy clear mucus right before ovulation
and there is the thick heavy mucus that happens when the ova breaks
down and leave the body. Actual pictures and we are actually having
a converstaion about that physical process that we all go through
but so few of us ever talk to about to anyone.

But we talking about it now, that is empowerment.
Knowing that it is normal and natural and happens the same to other women
rather then being made to feel that you don't talk about your shame cave
and the different types of normal discharge that happens during the
monthly cycle.

Good stuff. I really like the fact that her and her man are that intimate with each other. At my most intimate with a woman, she feels like an extension of my own body(and mine with her) and I've deep interest and involvement with her because of that. Sadly rare though.
