SoCS: down there

Thursday we had our monthly meeting of the Women’s Cannabis Club. The subject was “Sex and Cannabis”. We had a vagina expert on. She’s a nurse and has a business talking to women about their whole area ‘below’. You know:

Down there; No man’s land, the Vijay-jay, lady bits, those are some of the polite names we use. I went off the SoC to look up funny words for our parts; they are in categories such as rude words, polite words, named after food, named after animals, the lists go on and on! Common Slang Words for Vagina (liveabout.com)

Anyway back to our meeting and the vagina expert. She spoke for over an hour on vaginas and sex. She displayed cross section diagrams of our parts. She had diagrams of what different pussies looked like (which confirmed I am definitely heterosexual.) She showed us stuff I won’t share here, such as an obsidian wand. (It should be obsidian even though there are jade wands.)

These younger women are so lucky to be learning all this. The way we were raised was to never talk about or touch your ‘parts’. They were dirty! If something was wrong, you went to your man doctor who would blast you with anti-biotics which they did on a regular basis because they killed all the ‘good’ bacteria!

Back in the day, birth control pills were a blast of estrogen. I started using birth control pills at 16 and stayed on them until my late 20’s. I developed endometriosis but I didn’t know it for a few years. The first doctor I went to said, “Get a bottle of wine and relax” When I moved to another area and got a new doctor; I found someone who believed that my cramps were very, very bad. I had another treatment, of a derivative of testosterone, to stop my periods for a year. Then they went in and burned the dried endometriosis off my parts with lasers. By this time there was so much damage and scar tissue I was told there was a slim chance I’d ever get pregnant.

The reason I went into all this is; I’ve thinking about what might have happened if I knew what I know now. If even the doctors knew what they know now. And now my health center has all women doctors!

We learned about PITT Petals. (Pot in the Twat) and all the things they are good for ‘below’, including bowel problems. Its just cannabis butter made with coconut oil and made into suppositories.

I can’t help thinking if I had known all this 40 years ago, I might have had children.

But I didn’t. That was my karma and in some ways I’m good with that. I have faith that the reason came from ‘above’.

(yay, bonus point!)
