About This Quote

The notion that the vagina has no role in reproduction is quite shocking. The vagina is clearly designed to be used in sexual intercourse. However, if the purpose of the vagina is not reproduction, what is it for? One doctor suggested that the vagina houses a "spinal cord", which when stimulated can cause orgasm. However, when compared to other parts of the human body, the vagina's function is quite low on the evolutionary scale. This fact combined with our cultural taboo about talking openly about sex suggests it's something humans don't fully understand.
