Today, my boyfriend and I were discussing sports injuries, and I mentioned that I pulled a muscle in my crotch last year. He snorted and called me a clueless idiot because according to him, "girls don't have crotches". He's a med student. I sense malpractice lawsuits in our future. FML

He might be confusing "crotch" with "****". He must be terrible at spelling.

He probably thinks that a crotch is just male genitals. Still pretty dumb to think about, HE'S A MED STUDENT.

It's not as if "crotch" is a really scientific term.

With all due respect, I probably would have called you a clueless idiot too. No one says "I pulled a muscle in my crotch", you say "in my groin". In technical terms, the crotch is the naughty bits and the groin is the muscles and stuff surrounding the crotch. Get it? Good.

no you are wrong, crotch does not mean private parts, its the slang term for groin crotch = groin, the area around which the private parts go crotch & groin both mean the area between the legs below the stomach

It's not even slang, really. A crotch is the inside of the forking of any bifurcated form; it is ordinary to refer to the crotch of a tree, for example. "Groin" is specifically anatomical, but your groin is a crotch by definition unless you have no legs.

Do not fear, people. I have decided to make a little experiment in the name of science. Google gave me 11,300 results for "I pulled a muscle in my crotch", and 25,100 results for "I pulled a muscle in my groin". So, even though the medical term is "groin", people obviously do use the word "crotch". It makes me wonder, if "crotch" was actually only a term for the "naughty bits", then does that mean that pants have naughty bits too, because they have a crotch? Science brings so many questions.

After over a decade in medicine I've never once heard anyone say "I pulled my crotch". Until now.

Well, I would imagine them saying "I pulled my crotch" if they were jerking off, but they might not want to tell their doctor about it.

Technically, the ****** is a muscle. Located in the aforementioned naughty bits area, also called the crotch. So, just to be an ass, one, or I, could say the OP somehow could have in some way injured her muscles in her vaginal area, the canal, etc; and instead of using the technical term, just said crotch.

46 I applaud your knowledge. That you also showed up the Doc is just an added bonus.

The future is in the hands of your boyfriend... Someone needs to change that

Well he may think the word 'crotch' refers to '****' very stupid mistake I must say but you have to get it thought his thick skull that its not just a dick

"Crotch" is not a medical term, and med students need to cram their crania full of medical knowledge and don't have room for anything else. You'll just have to wait until he's in residency before you can refer to your "junk."

Encourage him to tell that story to his med school friends.

Since he doesn't think girls have crotches, deny him access to yours.

If you have to divorce your boy/girlfriend then I'm in some trouble.
