I tried explaining this to my ex when we were together and he was SHOCKED that I hadn’t had my first orgasm until after I turned 18. He was even more surprised when I told him that that’s not only common, but that many women have them even later. People don’t get it.

Although most boys figure out how to bring themselves to orgasm by age thirteen, half of girls do not have their first orgasms until their late teens, twenties, or beyond. Teenage girls widely agree that they get the message loud and clear that masturbation is something boys do, but girls do not, cannot, or should not. The cultural focus on intercourse tells young women to expect they will begin to experience sexual pleasure once they have sex with a man (whether or not they are even interested in sex with men). Nearly all teen boys, on the other hand, experience sexual pleasure long before they get their hands—or other body parts—into a partner’s pants. Despite the massive advances in women’s equality, young women’s sexuality is stuck in a surprising paradox. Young women are sold provocative clothes but are not taught where to find their own clitoris. Many girls give their boyfriends oral sex, but are too uncomfortable with their own bodies to allow the guys to return the favor. It is still a radical act to say that women need and deserve access to information about their own sexual pleasure—not just about the risks and negative consequences of sex.

What if You Were Born in Space?
Michael from Vsauce looks at what it means to be in space, what it’s like to live in the isolation of space, and what would happen if we tried to reproduce in space … you know, if we could figure out a way to do it without bouncing off of each other.
If ya know what I’m sayin’
… and I think you do.

Learning How to Cough Around Drug Resistant TB
Medecins Sans Frontiers counselor, Rano Safarova, tries to teach a group of children near Vose, Tajikistan how to stop the spread of tuberculosis in their homes. Several members of this extended family have active TB including the 66 year old grandmother/matriarch of the clan. The youngest victim in the family is a 4 year old boy who’s been left partially paralyzed and unable to speak from TB meningitis.
The grandmother refuses to accept that TB spreads through the air. She insists that the 4 year old got it from swimming in a cold river.
“I have several concerns with this family,”says MSF nurse Tina Martin during a visit to the family’s cluster of mud-walled houses in southern Tajikistan. “Mostly I’m concerned with the level of education, the lack of understanding of what TB is and how it’s transmitted. This is highly concerning. This is a very close family. They live together, eat together, sleep together. And as TB is airborne transmission the family is reinfecting each other over and over.”
MSF is working to try to improve TB treatment for children in the Central Asian nation, particularly children infected with drug-resistant strains of the bacteria.
