"When people read erotic symbols into my paintings, they're really talking about their own affairs."

A very happy birthday to Georgia O'Keeffe, born on this day in 1887. O'Keeffe insisted that the abstract images, flowers and landscapes she painted were not depicting vulvas.
Painting with a deep black and grey palette, dark purple at the centre. This painting depicts an extreme close up of a flower. We really want to respect artistic intent and compare it to anything but a vulva. However, we're struggling once again because extreme close-ups of any flower have a vulva-like appearance. Visually impaired users, please imagine a vulva with a large grey clitoral hood, black labia majora and small dark purple labia minora. Abstract painting with a mostly primary-coloured palette. The painting depicts lines like waves, focusing towards an ovoid vesica piscis shape which is textured with multiple waves. This shape honestly looks a lot like a vulva to us, it's pretty difficult to describe the form using any other analogies for the shape. For visually impaired users: imagine a vulva with an orange, crinkled clitoral hood and white, symmetrical, slightly ruffled labia minora, around a blue-to-black gradient vestibule, and you've got it. Painting depicting two apples stacked on top of each other, nestled atop a white flower and green leaves. Each apple has two red petals sprouting from the bottom. In between the apples is a round-ish ovoid shape in white. It is hard to describe this shape as anything other than distinctly yonic. Visually impaired users, try to imagine what it would look like if two apples had vulvas and were scissoring. Abstract painting with a grey, yellow, blue and purple palette. Straight lines run down the page, curving at the top like a church door. The yellow lines fold outwards like a flower petal. Once again, it is incredibly difficult to describe this painting in any way other than "it looks like a vulva", but we're a Vagina Museum, we're trained to see vulvas everywhere. For visually impaired users, imagine an upside-down vulva with yellow and light purple labia majora and blue labia minora. There are two spread legs at the top which are tiny in relation to the large vulva. You've pretty much got it.

You haven't had a cursed old-timey patent in a while, lucky you! Let's break this winning streak by showing you a gizmo from 1846: the "wife's protector", a contraceptive device patented by JB Beers of Rochester, New York, USA.
Patent paperwork. JB Beers, Preventing contraception. Two technical drawings of a device which is a piece of bent wire with a tiny loop and a bend at the bottom. At the top of the device is a hinged hoop. In the left-hand drawing, the hoop is at a right angle to its stem. In the right-hand drawing, the hoop is pointed in a more upright direction.

In our exhibition "Before the Blood", migrant women share stories of their first period. This detail in Siqing's story has resonated with a lot of our visitors, and we're sure many of you reading this will have had the same experience on seeing brown blood.
Detail from an exhibition panel. Handwritten text in Chinese reading in English translation: You felt no pain at all, so you couldn’t connect what you saw with what you’d heard about. Your mind raced to make sense of it, clumsy with embarrassment and confusion. Eventually, you landed on this humiliating conclusion: “I’ve pooed myself.” Close-up of exhibition panel reading: You felt no pain at all, so you couldn’t connect what you saw with what you’d heard about.

It's the Fesshole/Vagina Museum crossover event you've all been waiting for. Tons of you tagged us into this across all of our socials, asking for a fact-check. The consensus of the reply guys is that it Didn't Happen. However, this is in fact very possible. Here's why...
Fesshole screenshot: I may have nearly knocked out my gynecologist by shooting a speculum at his head. It wasn't my fault. He made me laugh, my muscles contracted, and suddenly my twat was a cannon.

Important Update

As promised, we have reviewed our decision to pause all online orders to the USA and have come to the exciting conclusion that we can reinstate international orders to the USA.

Thank you for your patience with us during this time and we’re glad to have you back!

A beautifully-illustrated circa 1920s ad drawn by the gifted and iconic Gerda Wegener. But before you get this framed or tattooed on yourself, we regret to inform you it's advertising a soap for vaginal douching.

Big congratulations to Chunk for taking the crown as this year's #FatBearWeek winner! Today feels like as good a day as any to tell you all about a little trick that bears have to ensure pregnancy takes place during OPTIMAL FATNESS.

*sigh* Bluesky is Blueskying again. Here's that link again, this time visible to everyone. Trans people's experiences are not adult content, mods. www.vaginamuseum.co.uk/communitygal...
A post from the Vagina Museum, labelled as "adult content": The last day to view Trans Ephemera is 5th October. This community-created exhibition explores diversity, medicalisation and experiences of oppression through the medium of things that are normally thrown away. The exhibition is free to visit - plan yours now!

Last week we posted some howlers from ChatGPT as it failed to generate anatomically correct diagrams of pregnancy. Some of you believed the position of lungs and intestines relative to the uterus were yet another screw-up by the tech. We regret to inform you that's *quite* correct.
Illustration of a pregnant figure in outline from the side. Numbered lines representing weeks of pregnancy progress up the abdomen with 16 still in the pelvis, 20 a little below navel level, 24 above the navel, 28 and 32 further up still, and 36 almost below the breasts. 40 is lower, on par with 32 weeks. Further numbered lines indicate position of the belly bump, with it sticking out most at 40 weeks. Engraving of a dissected figure during late pregnancy. The uterus is huge. Intestines are positioned above and behind it.

So in our final quest to see if by directing towards medical literature, ChatGPT could generate correct labels, we added to our last prompt "Include the rectum and bladder. Label the diagram with these labels." And... oh.
Side view diagram of pregnancy showing uterus, vagina, bladder and rectum. The foetus is in breech position, with an umbilical cord sticking out of its foot and finger. There is a faint shadow of placenta under its head like a pillow. The rectum and uterus use the same pink and red colour scheme. The rectum is also kind of uterus-shaped, There is a bladder, and the vagina is in roughly the correct place. Both the rectum and uterus have separate exits, but the bladder doesn't appear to exit anywhere. The uterus is labelled uterus. The bladder is labelled placenta. The vulva is labelled umbilical cord. The vagina and rectum are correctly labelled.

"... Include all organs pertinent to pregnancy (i.e. the uterus, placenta, umbilical cord and vagina). Include other pelvic organs." Here's what we got.
Side view of organs during pregnacy. This one is the least bad of the bunch. The bladder is missing, and the rectum peters out to nothing. Above the uterus are some floating intestines which connect to nothing. The foetus is in breech position, with the umbilical cord wrapped around its neck.

Next, we decided to test a more specific prompt: "create a diagram of the internal gynaecological organs during pregnancy, showing the uterus, cervix, ovaries and vagina". And we got this.
Diagram headed "internal gynaecological organs during pregnancy". It depicts a faint outline of the lower body of a human. Inside, from the bottom, is a pink tube which extends down to the thigh, labelled cervix. Branching off this are ovaries and uterine tubes. Above it is a round part, with an illustration of a foetus in outline. The foetus is in breech position with no umbilical cord or placenta. The inside of the uterus is labelled ovaries, the foetus is labelled uterus, and the part where the vagina meets the uterine tubes is labelled cervix.

First, we wanted to test a very basic prompt, likely to be similar to something the original poster would have said. "Show me a diagram of the organs during pregnancy" returned this.
Side view of a diagram labelled "organ diagram". It shows a female body from side view, carrying a pregnancy. Most organs are in roughly the right place in the pelcis. There is a bladder in the right position, labelled bladder. The vagina is roughly where it should be, albeit with an additional line which goes around the outside of the uterus in a circle. It is labelled colon. The rectum is roughly in the correct place, although it attaches to the vagina at the bottom. Inside the uterus, the foetus in breech position has an umbilical cord which leads to nothing. This organ is labelled stomach. Above it, we have two tiny lungs labelled "heart" and viewed from the front, with a heart in the correct place if you were viewing from the front, labelled lungs. The liver is also shown, labelled as liver, but it is inside the uterus.

This little bottle of Lysol holds the record for being the most lethal item in our display of unnecessary vaginal cleaning products. Most products on the market these days range from pointlessly ineffective to likely to give you an infection. That's progress, we guess.
A display in the Vagina Museum inside a perspex box. The box contains bottles and packages of products. Woo Woo intimate wash, Woo Woo lift and tighten gel. Woo Woo fast acting lightening cream. Fewe CBD drops. Vaginal tightening gel. Canesfresh wipes. Canesfresh wash. Vagisil wash. Femfresh wash. And of course, the Lysol.

Here's the most cursed recent addition to our collection: a bottle of Lysol disinfectant, circa early 1960s, from Canada. The label contains instructions for using the product to clean toilets, floors, dirty diapers... and vaginal douching.
A brown glass bottle in a slightly hourglass shape with a yellow metal cap. The triangular red, white and yellow label reads Lysol brand disinfectant. Disinfectant. Antiseptic. Feminine hygiene. Phenol coefficient 5. The proprietary or patent medicine act. Active ingredients include orthohydroxdiphenyl and cresylic acid. Lehn & Fink, Canada. Rear label of the bottle in the first image, which is headed by the logo. Directions: Home disinfection - toilets, floors, walls, etc. Add 3 tablespoonsful to each gallon of water. Diapers - soak diapers in a solution of three tablespoons to each gallon of water. First aid- cuts, scratches. Add 1 teaspoonful to 1 cup of water and apply. Feminine hygiene - for douching. 1 teaspoonful to 1 quart of warm water. Mix well.

But do you know when the pudendal nerve *does* appear at that exact angle on a diagram? If you have a scrotum.

Medical illustration of the pudendal nerve which extends from the rectum and buttocks into the scrotum and penis. It is at the same angle as the ChatGPT pregnancy diagram.

Today in AI Is Not A Good Source For Learning About The World's Most Misunderstood Body Part, meet this ChatGPT gem.

Funnily enough, we're actually going to talk about how most of this is kinda sorta right (for small values of right), as a cautionary tale about generative AI.
Screenshot of a reddit post: ChatGPT asked if I wanted a diagram of what's going on inside my pregnant belly. A screenshot of ChatGPT's response. It is a side view of a foetus gestating in the uterus. The foetus is head-up with no umbilical cord or placenta. Behind the uterus is the rectum, which is unlabelled. Trailing down from between the rectum and spine, extending beneath the buttocks to the inner thigh is a yellow line labelled "pudendal nerve. At the front is an oval-shaped part labelled "cervix". And then we really struggle to image describe this bit. The uterus and the bladder are both attached to a single part which is long inside, then extends downwards into a penis with a single exist. This penis is labelled "rectum".

Now, you might have noticed that in our description of what Kobelt's plexus does, we've used a lot of "it's possible". This is because we'll have to get our go-to explanation graphic out to show you why.

Here's another part of the gynaecological anatomy named after a man: Kobelt's plexus, illustrated by Kobelt himself in around 1844.

The plexus is the network of blood vessels under the bend of the clitoral body.
Illustration of the clitoral glans and body and their blood supply. These parts of the clitoris form a long organ which hangs downwards with an arch-shaped bend towards the top. Many small blood vessels are present in the glans, a rounded part at the end. Larger blood vessels extend along the long shaft. Beneath the arch-shaped bend, many blood vessels hang like tentacles.

If you're wondering how pregnancy works with two uterine horns, here's a pregnant elephant shrew uterus. Note the bulges at the lower end of each horn - that's the pregnancy.
Photo of elephant shrew reproductive system. At the top are two ovaries. Each ovary links to a tube, which bulges at the bottom. Each cone is attached to a long, thin uterus.

Here's a non-pregnant elephant shrew reproductive tract. They have two uterine horns, each leading to a uterine tube and an ovary. In the middle is what's known as a median uterus, which is the bit that opens out into the world.
Photo of elephant shrew reproductive system. At the top are two ovaries. Each ovary links to a tube, which widens substantially towards the bottom, giving it a cone-like shape. Each cone is attached to a long, thin uterus.
