Sexplanations

Menstruation (2014x35)

Data di messa in onda: Set 19, 2014

This episode is probably the most dense of anything I've created on Sexplanations. WARNING. I think I did more research and script-writing than any other piece, even gender. Why? Because it is about the menstrual cycle and the monthly(ish) cycle is really a very sophisticated building construction project that involves more than the uterus. For me, understanding the process involved reading seven different textbooks (just the menstrual section), reading six different articles, watching other YouTube period educators teach, checking the etymology of all the clinical terms, drawing the cycles myself with annotations, pretending to be different characters in the cycle, and coming up with new female reproductive-related lyrics to Willy Wonka's Pure Imagination. Sadly you won't see all of this. You WILL have the four minute version of my take on the cycle. If it is confusing give it a few more runs-through and triangulate it with other sources. It is really quite cool when you have an understanding of what's going on.. at least it has been for me. #curious.
