...that interest and titillate most amateur and professional anthropologists: Why did human beings adopt face-to-face sex? And why did the human male develop the largest penis of any primate? In both cases, she maintains, convenience rather than pleasure was the decisive factor. Although an ape's vagina is easily accessible from the rear, the human vagina has moved forward and is "tidily tucked away" deep in the body, "possibly for protection against salt water and abrasive sand." Man's penis thus "grew longer for the same reason as the giraffe's neck -to enable...
...another 200 kip and she will put on the show that is the favoritie of the crowds that come to White Rose's. She will light a cigarette and insert it in her vagina. With her legs spread in front of you she will contract her muscles and repeatly draw the cigarette in and out. For each addition 50 kip you give her she will insert another cigarette. The maximum is seven cigarettes at a time...
...Takey Crist and Cecil Farrington of the University of North Carolina reported last week that they had used an animal estrogen successfully with 94 patients. But neither Dr. Kuchera nor her colleagues see DES as a panacea for unwanted pregnancies.

Unlike the cervix, the vagina is rarely the site of cancer. In women under 50, vaginal cancer had been virtually unknown. Now at least a score of cases in teen-agers and women up to age 22 have been found in the U.S. The first seven, all detected since 1966, were reported a year ago by Drs. Arthur Herbst and Robert Scully of Boston's Vincent Memorial Hospital, the women's division of Massachusetts General. Another Boston doctor discovered an eighth case. The doctors then could not even hazard a guess to explain this sudden cluster of rarities...
...More mischief lies in the Great Clitoral Controversy. Movement radicals, misinterpreting Masters' and Johnson's laboratory experiments, declare that the clitoris is the key to womanly orgasm. They denounce Freud and his notion of the superior role of the vagina. Certainly women are entitled to any sort of orgasm they like. But girls who are now being enjoined to "Think clitoris!" are being sold a mechanistic view of sex that is almost as dehumanizing as the phallic consciousness of Playboy...
