It's the Fesshole/Vagina Museum crossover event you've all been waiting for. Tons of you tagged us into this across all of our socials, asking for a fact-check. The consensus of the reply guys is that it Didn't Happen. However, this is in fact very possible. Here's why...

Regardless of whether you have a penis or a vagina, everyone has a pelvic floor. It's a bowl of muscles at, well, the floor of the pelvis. There's two gaps in the pelvic floor - one where the anus comes out, and a urogenital one. If you have a vagina, the vagina and urethra both exit here.

The human pelvic floor has a couple of very important jobs. First and foremost, is keeping your internal organs inside you. The other is ensuring that peeing and pooing stays under your control.

Some common events put extra pressure on the pelvic floor. This includes coughing, sneezing, and a big ol' bark of laughter. In these instances, the pelvic floor needs to work a little harder, and it will squeeze. Usually this happens without any intervention from you. It's a useful reflex, because it prevents your internal organs from falling out.
Digression: The pelvic floor is also supposed to stop you from peeing when you laugh, cough or sneeze. Sometimes muscle tone isn't strong enough to catch this all the time. This might happen due to age, or having given birth vaginally, or something being really fucking funny so there's extra stress on the pelvic floor.. Strength can often be rebuilt through exercising the pelvic floor.

Anyway, the most pertinent information in assessing the veracity of the twat cannon post is that pelvic floors squeeze involuntarily when you laugh.

And now let's talk about physics.

Have you ever had an experience where you try to grab a wet bar of soap with wet hands and it shoots clean out of your hand and across the shower? If you haven't, give this a go. Take the soap in your hand, and squeeze it just a little too hard. It flies right out.

Slippery, moist, smooth, rigid things will often go WHOOSH if squeezy force is applied. (sorry, we're a Vagina Museum, not a phyics museum)

When you squeeze your pelvic floor, you're essentially closing the holes in it. If the thing is small and completely inside the vagina, such as a menstrual cup, squeezing the pelvic floor might push it further up inside you.

But if something is rigid and slippery and at the entrance of the vagina, the laws of physics dictate a squeeze will probably push it out, possibly quite an alarming distance.

Remember: the pelvic floor is, on a day-to-day basis, carrying around at the very least the weight of your intestines (about 3.5 kilos). If you're pregnant, it supports the whole weight of that, too. These muscles are *strong*. Something smooth and slippery doesn't stand a chance.
It is also worth noting that a tool such as a speculum as it's inserted, a vaginal dilator or certain designs of sex toy are nearly the perfect shape to be shot out quite some distance when lubricated. They're basically shaped like vagina-compatible bullets.

Japanese court rules artist’s ‘vagina’ kayak is legal, sharing is not

A Japanese court has ruled a floating replica of an artist’s vagina is in fact “pop art,” but sharing 3D instructions to create a DIY version was a crime.
