one of the terms, then discuss A. What controversies
surround your topic? B. Is your subject more often defined in terms
of health or illness? C. Is your topic a factor in female sexual
pleasure? Is pleasure addressed in the articles you found? D.
Did you learn anything you did not know about this aspect of female genital
anatomy? E. What research questions remain for anatomists
to address about your topic?

2. Attend and reflect on an activity that is related to
female anatomy – female sexuality as is discussed in the chapters of your
textbook. Submit a brief, written reflection of the event. In
your reflection discuss: What was the activity/event? To whom did it apply?
What were the sexuality issues? Specifics? Some ideas for activities/events:
attend – a female sporting event, a movie, a play, an art exhibit, or peruse a
bookstore for books, look through a book or calendar of art (i.e. O’Keefe, or
others), or utilize the internet. Have fun thinking differently
