Why Must Girls Squat To Pee?
|
|||
|

|
|QUESTION:|
|
|||
|
|
I'm an 18-year-old guy. Some of my friends and I are confused as to
|
|||
|
|
why a female must squat or sit before she can pee.
|
|||
|
|
Is it because she has the equivalent of an extremely tiny penis,
|
|||
|
|
normally hidden from view, which only pops out when she squats?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|ANSWER:|
|
|||
|
|
A woman needn't squat or sit to urinate. She can also urinate in a
|
|||
|
|
standing position (or in any other position, for that matter). But,
|
|||
|
|
since she can't control the direction of the flow of urine, this is apt
|
|||
|
|
to be a messy business.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Females urinate from the urethral opening, a very small hole located
|
|||
|
|
between the clitoris and the vaginal opening, and surrounded by the
|
|||
|
|
vaginal lips called the labia majora.

Clitoris Is Like Small Penis
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
When you ask about whether the female has the equivalent of a small
|
|||
|
|
penis, you may be thinking of the clitoris. Actually, in terms of fetal
|
|||
|
|
development, the penis is more like an enlarged clitoris.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The clitoris is a small knob of tissue located above the urethra. In
|
|||
|
|
the embryo, a group of specialized cells becomes the clitoris. If the
|
|||
|
|
fetus is male, the same tissue develops to become part of a penis.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Unlike the penis, the clitoris has only one known purpose -- as a
|
|||
|
|
focus of erotic sensitivity in women. The clitoris is much smaller
|
|||
|
|
than the penis, but has an equal number of sensory nerve endings. Hence
|
|||
|
|
it is potentially far more sensitive than the penis.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Structurally, the clitoris is like a penis in miniature, with a
|
|||
|
|
shaft, a glans, and a hood.
