Woman Cave

Yesterday I was talking with Gary about my anatomy. Specifically, my female anatomy. Yes it's another post about my pelvic floor, which is still rattling away, and yesterday it was particularly active.

I didn't even get a chance to tell him what I wanted, which was a little digital spelunking, just so he could tell me if what I sensed had any bearing on what was physically happening. None of that happened because he felt he had to argue with me about my vagina. To mansplain my anatomy to me. Without actually touching me, mind you. Just telling me from memory. 

"It's like there's the bone, then you go around the bend and it's like there's a covered area --" He arched his hand to show the covered area. 

"So that's the pelvic floor, then," I said. 

"No, there's no floor. It's just on one side, like a wall and a ceiling but no floor. " 

"But that has to be either the outer or inner set of muscles -- "

"No, listen to me. You have no idea what you're talking about. I've been in there -- " 

And as you can imagine, the conversation stopped there. 

So I was off to find a chart so we could have a civil conversation about my parts. 

And I am sure you are saying, Ellen, do you not have fingers? Yes, I do, but they are short and stubby, and there is also a chubby layer of cushion in the way, and the idea of pawing at my interior is a little gross, and it's a little like looking at a map when your sense of direction doesn't match up with what you see. And also I wanted him up in there. 

(I was fascinated to see there are shiny metal screws holding me together.)

At first I found myself really wanting a rotating 3~D image, because that image above doesn't show the gap I know I have between the lower muscles and the pelvic floor. And it looks like a child's pelvis: that person's hand could span from hipbone to hipbone. 

And then I realized what I really, really want is an illuminated go-pro I could snake up in there. Or else a video of what it would look like in there, like a Curse of Oak Island video. Or like a colonoscopy video. 

So I looked up vaginoscopy, and it's a real thing, and now I am even more confused. And it's done often on dogs and children, not full grown women. And when it is it is not a guided tour like you would have in Meremac Caverns. "Here is the Mirror Room, now we'll pass through the Pelvic Floor and enter the Wine Room," etc. 

Then a visit to Amazon for a look at plastic pelvic models, and it appears that is what I was looking at above. None of those things gave me any clarity. My parts don't feel like what I see there.

Also, this all took too long and Gary fell asleep anyway. It all made me long for first days in puberty when I crouched over the mirror in my bedroom. So simple then.

It would not be at all hard to add light if you did chuck a camera in there. It'd be hard to keep track of what direction everything is, but adding light: pretty easy (either slim-flashlight-in-entrance or just a wired-up LED attached to the GoPro).

Endoscopy cameras that attach to your phone are apparently available on Amazon for $30, which is... weird. But fundamentally, I think the big problem would be disorientation and not knowing what one is looking at.

If one could coat the interior thinly in some sort of liquid rubber material, let it set against the surfaces, pull it out, and then fill the mold to "inflate" it back to the interior-of-vagina shape, that might work better, but there are exactly zero materials I'd trust on that assignment.

I bet there are MRI slices available online, though, which you might be able to navigate to grasp the shape and location of the sets of muscles? It's a bit odd that there isn't an easy, good-source "take a tour of the vagina" 3D model that can be digitally interacted with over the internet , but given some of the other results I'm seeing for 3D models of vaginas, a sector of men on the internet probably bears responsibility for that...

KC - that was just what I was looking for, and assumed as you did that there would be popular demand, but I couldn't find it. Also it sounded for a moment as if you suggested I stand in my head and cast a mold of my vagina by pouring some type of felxible resin in there, which I could then pull out and use that to make an image of my insides.

The main difficulty is finding a casting material that would not be hazardous to or burn your skin.

The secondary difficulty would be "painting" the interior walls adequately while not having any place become thick enough that it'd be too thick to pull out. I admit I was not envisioning a handstand, but more of a yoga-ish pelvis-tilted-up position to pour in the silicon rubber stuff through a funnel, followed by plugging with a divacup or similar, and then a bunch of jumping jacks to coat the interior with silicone-whatever until it sets...

Fundamentally I don't think it's *at all* a feasible option, just one that it's hilarious to consider the logistics for, and I approve of the handstand addition. :-)

KC - I think the main problem would be getting the casting material permanently stuck in my twat. And then ... even less access than there is now.Also, I picture the material looking and smelling like those hot plastic dinosaurs that came out of the machines at the science museum.

Yes, it's much more of a "so how *would* you raise a house with helium balloons without the house falling apart?" question than a real-life one.

But having a plastic dinosaur collection that combines to form the inside of your vagina... fascinating.
