external female reproductive system

External part of the female reproductive system is called the vulva.

Clitoris: is the pleasure center of the vulva.

Inner labia: Glands in the inner labia produce mucus during sexual arousal. This lubricates the entrance of the vagina so the penis can slide in easier. 

The video mentions 'ovum'. What is another word for this?

Internal female reproductive system

Ova = female sex cells

Ovum = egg cell

Ovulation

• Ovulation in Dutch = eisprong
• Ovulation = when a ripe egg cell is released by the ovary
• Happens every 4 weeks
• One week left ovary, other week right ovary
• Egg cell lives 24 hours

Vagina info

1. Never wash your vagina with soap!!

This can cause infections.

2. Discharge is normal (penises do it too)

3. G-spot is not a thing. Most of the time vagina's are not that sensitive.

4. Avoid touching the anus and afterwards the vagina or vaginal region (can cause UTI, blaasontsteking)
