when your cervix goes really low down (like you can reach it with a finger) what’s that about? does it happen just before a period? Does it go randomly up amd down all the time?

fertility-matters:

*Typically* the cervix will be lower, firmer, and more closed when you are in an infertile part of your menstrual cycle, and higher, softer, and more open when you are in the fertile times of your cycle, and it will typically get a bit higher/more open as it prepares for a bleed.

apesoformythoughts:

“Current attitudes toward menstruation, fertility, pregnancy, childbirth, and nursing reflect a porn-educated gaze that suppresses disgust by indulging the illusion of a purely erotic world. Female fertility is shocking, precisely because it turns a woman’s body from sexual to maternal, erotic to nurturing. The child is the ultimate rupture of the porn world. Menstruation and female fertility is societally suppressed, and largely silenced, not simply for the sake of convenience, but as a result of the pornographic education that turned these natural parts of sex into unnatural interruptions of sexuality, ruined that vision of genital organs as solely erotic, arousing organs.”

the fact women are viewed as being more sexy at 15 than 40 is the creepiest thing in the world

Horrifying really

Looking through the notes, and people seem to be justifying this as evolutionary biology. They believe that human females are most fertile at the age of 15. Considering your body isn’t even done growing at this age, I find this incredibly hard to believe. Really? The best time for you to push a baby out of your vagina is when your periods probably aren’t even regular yet? Like the younger you are, the more likely you are to DIE from child birth. Well anyway, most websites claim you’re most fertile in your 20s, peaking at 27… So congrats on trying to blatantly justify pedophilia by using bullshit science.

Pregnancy/maternal issues is the LEADING killer of girls aged 15-19 globally.

Not only is “15 year olds are more fertile” a creepy, pedophilic belief, it’s also an extremely dangerous one.

Friendly reminder it takes 12 years for girls/women to fully develop their menstrual cycles. Cycles normalize at the 5-7 year mark but optimal hormonal balance is not there until 12 years after. So a girl who starts her period, even at the earliest age around 8 (which is an abnormal, modern phenomenon that can increase health issues), she will not be optimally fertile until she is 20 years old. I don’t regret getting married and pregnant at 19 myself (having my first period around 12) but looking back with what I know now, it explains some of the problems I’ve had. Please stop sexualizing girls and pressuring them to be adults and do adult things when they are still children!
