Ah, the speculum—the cold, uncomfortable device that seems to be a rite of passage for women during gynecological visits. You’d think that after all these years, medical professionals would have invented something a little more user-friendly for opening things “down there.” However, a recent viral Facebook post has put a humorous spin on the topic by encouraging women to show their partners a picture of a speculum and ask them to identify it.
The results? Pure comedy gold. The post prompted women to say, “Ask your partner what this is, screenshot their answer, and share it below.” Thanks to the Facebook page Bad Parenting Moments for this delightful entertainment. While many partners (let’s be real, mostly men) had a somewhat accurate understanding of this device, quite a few were completely lost.
For those in need of a refresher on vaginal speculums (and if you do, perhaps it’s time for a check-up with your doctor): a vaginal speculum is a tool, often made of metal, that gynecologists use to gently open the vaginal walls. This allows for a visual examination of the vagina and cervix, as well as the collection of cervical cells for a Pap smear test.
Now, let’s dive into some of the hilarious responses. Prepare for laughter:
- “What… what kind of apples does this man think this device would peel?”
- “OMG. Listen, kid, it’s our job to teach you. Consider yourself educated!”
- Some husbands even invented entirely new names for the speculum—LOL.
- Many men displayed a charming cluelessness about the contraption—tears of laughter ensued.
- “Some. Kind. Of. Shoe. Horn.”
- Yet, not all men were completely in the dark; a few did manage to grasp what it was.
- “Haven’t heard ‘cooter’ in a hot minute, thank you, sir!”
One partner, in particular, deserves a gold star for his impressive answer. Honestly, someone give that guy a pat on the back!
But one comment truly takes the cake. Sorry, but it was just too perfect.
In all seriousness, this hilarious post serves as a reminder that we need to educate our sons about the challenges women face concerning reproductive health. And let’s not forget to teach them the term “vagina” early on. While terms like “cooter,” “meat curtains,” and “gator” might be amusing, proper anatomical terminology is vital for future generations.
This article was a delightful read, and now every time I go for a Pap smear, I’ll be thinking about eyelash curlers and feeding baby pelicans—much more entertaining than the usual experience at the gynecologist’s office.
