    The full anatomy of the clitoris wasn’t even mapped out until 2005. It wasn’t believed to even exist until the late 90s.

    I’m really supportive of your point that we shouldn’t discourage people from seeking medical help. I’m all about preventative medicine and modern advances. But I think you’re a little biased from the place where you work. I’m glad you work with people who seem to care about their patients. I don’t think it’s as universal as you want to claim.

      I may not have clearly stated what I meant. I wasn’t trying to offer an opinion on your experience. My initial point was imply it is absolutely valid medical knowledge that nerve endings exist in the cervix. Whether or not a doctor acknowledges that or listens to their patients is entirely independent of that (unfortunately). I understand that as a separate issue, but at least modern medical science recognizes it.
