Why men have nipples also? ▪ Actually, male nipples still serve a purpose as an erogenous zone. ▪ Just like female nipples, they’re sensitive to touch and can come in handy for erotic stimulation. One study found that nipple stimulation enhanced sexual arousal in 52 percent of men.

Are transgender can feel orgasm? ▪ Your surgeon will use skin from your penis to create a clitoris. This clitoris still has feeling, and most transgender women can have orgasm through clitoral stimulation.

Why some remove it?

▪ Personal preference: Some people may prefer the look and feel of having no public hair. ▪ Their partner’s preference: There may have been an implied or explicit request to groom or remove the pubic hair. ▪ Increased satisfaction: Pubic hair removal practices and relationship satisfaction. It also found that women who reported pubic hair removal had enhanced feelings of femininity. ▪ Preparation for sexual activity: Hair removal may be particularly beneficial for people who engage in oral sex. ▪ Peer or societal pressure: Some people may conform to the way that society believes grooming should occur. Again, however, this should be a personal choice.

Risks of removing pubic hair

❑ Pubic hair removal is generally safe, but there are some common side effects. These include:

▪ Itchiness, small cuts from razors ▪ potential injury, if using a razor or scissors ▪ burns from chemical removers, rashes, infections

❑ Pubic grooming injuries are surprisingly common. One 2017 survey found that 25.6% of people who groomed this area sustained injuries during or after hair removal. Also, limited evidence suggests that removing the pubic hair can increase the risk of STIs.

Type 1: CLITORIDECTOMY This is the partial or total removal of the clitoris and in very rare cases, only the prepuce (the fold of skin surrounding the clitoris).

Type 2: EXCISION This is the partial or total removal of the clitoris and the labia minora.

Type 3: INFIBULATION This is the narrowing of the vaginal opening through the creation of a covering seal. The seal is formed by cutting and repositioning the labia minora, or labia majora, sometimes through stitching.

Female genital Mutilation (FGM) This includes all other harmful procedures to the female genitalia for non-medical purposes, e.g. pricking, piercing, incising, scraping and cauterizing the genital area.

GIRLS

▪ During puberty your ovaries get bigger and your body will start to produce two hormones, estrogen and progesterone. ▪ Estrogen causes your breast to grow and helps your vagina, uterus and fallopian tubes to develop. ▪ It also makes you grow taller and also changes the way fat is stored on your body making your waist, hips and buttocks more obvious. ▪ After puberty, estrogen and progesterone control your menstrual cycle or period.
