The ****** doesn't have anything to do with urine...Why would anyone even think that? It's an opening to your uterus. That's how the sperm get in to impregnate a woman, and how the baby gets out once it's mature. Why would that have anything to do with peeing?

HEY NOW I'm almost twenty and I *just* learned this yesterday in biology. I am female.

I don't blame him for asking.

This is why we need sex education

We need better sex education.

They actually did not teach us that in our sex ed class. I had to find that out through a stupid qiestion too :(

YEAH MURICA!!! I am so glad that I don't have to live there. This whole abstinence believe is soo centuries ago. And only learning about the sexual organs of your own gender is also hillarious. It is all so prude... Not telling your children how nature works but just forbidding them to give in to the natural urges and curiosity. And telling people not to use condoms! That should be a crime. Normally you learn all that in biology class and have pictures to look at, cross sections. And the pictures are easy to find online, just go to wikipedia.

surprisingly im finding half of all women don't know it either

I would have thought people should know this too from sex ed/health but I'm still too shocked by the people who think that periods last all of thirty seconds where you just pee it all out and move on with life (I have seriously heard people say this) or that periods must be great (since you get to wear a tampon which must be 'arousing') to be amazed by this.
