Why is #WomensSexualHealth so understudied?

"We know far less about #FemaleBodies than male ones.That's partially because of who's been asking the questions.

Throughout #MedicalHistory,you ended up with a lot of male anatomies to saw the world from their perspective,one way that they looked at women was as sort of walking wombs or baby machines.

And that meant a very different focus than #SexualPleasure,which is what the #Clitoris is all about."#RachelGross

Why is women’s sexual health so understudied?

When it comes to medical research and innovation, men's health has long gotten more attention than women's health. Even with improvements over the last 30 years, women's sexual health remains vastly underrepresented. Dr. Rachel Rubin, urologist and sexual health expert, and Rachel Gross, science journalist and author of "Vagina Obscura," join Ali Rogin to discuss.

Why is #WomensSexualHealth so understudied?

"A #Urologist in Australia,she brought the world as understanding,that the head of the #Clitoris is the part you can see and touch.

It's just the tip of the iceberg.

Underneath,there's two bulbs,and two arms that kind of flare out into the pelvis,and the bulbs hug the #Vagina and the #Urethra,they're all made of erectile tissue.

90% of this organ is beneath the surface."#RachelGross
