Body Freedom Exercise (12): The Parts Party

The Parts Party

Ignorance about human anatomy is monumental. Find out about each other’s parts, where they are, what they do, and how they are related to reproduction, sexual function, and sexual pleasure.

Time for Exercise: five to 15 minutes per session (several sessions highly recommended)

Properties Required: modern atlas of human anatomy. They are expensive, but you can borrow one from your local library or use these online resources:

• Free edition of Gray’s Anatomy of the Human Body.
• The University of Minnesota maintains an excellent introductory anatomy website including anatomy quiz tutorials.

Steps:
Your mission, should you choose to accept it:

1. Alone or with your partner review the sexual anatomy for males and females.
2. Identify all of the parts listed by location and function performed in the body.

You can do some of your book exploration alone, but at some point come together to have a conversation about what you have learned. For an interesting challenge describe each other’s parts—men explain female sexual anatomy and women describe male sexual anatomy. Wear your “doctor’s hats” and keep your sense of humor.
