A sexpert said there are big lies people are taught about the vagina – and it impacts how women are able to hit the Big O.
Nadia Bokody is known for opening up about her sex life, but recently she wrote about how sex was taught at school.
She said she grew up learning little about her vulva, and said not much has changed since then when it comes to sex education.

According to a 2020 study published in the International Urogynecology Journal around 37% of people don’t know where the clitoris is.
What’s more concerning is only 46% know that women have three “holes” down below.
This is why so many people know little about them, how they work and how to make women feel really good.

The columnist decided to bust a few myths about lady bits to ensure everyone is on the same page.
First up, she said vulvas are supposed to smell.
She said companies make a lot of money by flogging vaginal fragrances, AKA “feminine hygiene”, but she claimed it’s actually a “scam”.
Nadia said trying to cover up the smell with products can actually result in developing conditions such as bacterial vaginosis and yeast overgrowth, which can lead to worse odours.
Writing for news.com.au, Nadia said: “If you wash your body in the shower each day and don’t wear tight, sweaty pants or underwear for extended periods, your vag should generally smell as it was intended to: like a vag.
“And, speaking as a lesbian who’s never refused to perform oral on a partner because of the ‘smell’, I question how much men who insult women’s vaginas genuinely like women.”

Nadia also said the clitoris is “not a DJ booth”, and treating it “like a turntable” will not lead to a woman orgasming.
The clitoris is home to around 8,000 nerve endings, which makes it extremely sensitive, so less tends to be more, and there’s no need to overdo it.
“Speaking of the clitoris,” she added.
“You should probably know, that’s where the fun’s happening for an estimated two-thirds of women who either require or prefer it to be the main destination for reaching climax.
“I have no doubt there’s a vulva owner out there somewhere who loves it when her sexual partners attend to other parts of her that are about as stimulating as a handshake, but the vast majority of us are BEGGING you to leave our labia alone.
“I obviously can’t speak for everyone, but as a general rule, if you take an unusually long and boring route to get somewhere, there’s a good chance your passenger will be asleep by the time you arrive.”
