My dream came true
Quote | Reply
Did two presentations last week at the CABDA trade show here in Chicago called "How to Talk to Women" (about their pelvic anatomy and soft tissue). The purpose was to be respectful by being professional.

For about 8years I've been planning the moment when, in front of a largely male bike industry group, I get to put up a slide of a vagina. Consider this my "How was your Week" entry?

Skeletal structure, nerves and pelvic floor discussion. Mouths were open, all were grateful.


Let's talk about anatomy and not call it a hoohaa, or the bing-bong, let's use proper words. Labia. Clitoris. Here is a graphic of what it is and discuss the layers from midline out to thigh. Also covered was internal pressures and not to assume that *this* is the magic saddle from this or that brand.

Thank you to my colleagues and my friends here on ST!

oh...i'm thinking about it! the Wide Sit Bone discussion the other day nearly sent me around the bend, I don't want to hijack someone elses' thread.

I think this is important for both genders and to have some honest information not 25yr old marketing fluff.

I got a lovely write up by a new friend who attended:
