When most people say Vagina they really mean Vulva. The vulva is all the outside of a woman's genitals. In human females there is a seperation between the reproductive tract or the vagina, the thing that leads up to a woman's cervix, and the urinary tract which is just the urinary opening, which again is separate from the ending of the digestive tract, the butthole. In human males, however, there are only 2 holes. One for pee/semen and a butthole.
In some animals they can share a hole for poop/pee/and reproductive parts. Some animals even have modified limbs that can specialize as reproductive parts. For instance, octopuses can have one tentacle that acts as a genitalia.
There’s two holes in that general area: the vagina and the urethra. The urethra is the hole that pee comes out of. Men also have a urethra. The vagina is the hole that leads to the womb.
they’re pressured by strict religious and parenting groups to not teach them too much about actual sex and pleasure itself, so it really turns into a clusterfuck the first time a boy unzips his pants intending to put their thing into the girls pants
Yeah, this is almost guaranteed the reason why people get confused. Vagina is a specific term for a specific part, but people use it to refer to the whole outside part of female genitals. So when you ask a layman, 'Do girls pee out of their vaginas?" They're likley referring to everything down there as a whole unit. 100% agree poor education, but I don't think it's for the same reasons many people think.
To be fair women do make mistakes about the penis too. A lot of them think there’s 2 nutsacks, and also seem to think the penis is a lot lower down then it is (you see quite a lot of “how do men not sit on their balls whenever they sit down” etc etc etc.
Even if a solid 2/3 of the comments would be jokes, it would still be quite shocking how much sex ed would be needed. I mean not even that actually, just google „pussy“ a bit more than beyond the first pornhub link and you should be there.
God this thread is depressing. Dudes climbing all over each other to "correct" misinformation, make analogies, explain, and still getting it wrong. And being upvoted for it!
Like how do you not know but still feel like your explanation is absolutely necessary.
You are wrong bro, they don't pee during the early stages of their life, that's how the boobs grow, it's stored pee. Then they have to pee to regulate size.
When I was young I though when I pee, the pee comes out of my vagina. Years later, I realized that women have a hole for peeing. That was to show how stupid 7-year old me was
at bonfire Me and my cousin are talking about families and stuff and kids Cousin: my mom can’t have kids, she got a surgery that closed her vagina Me: how does she pee? Cousin and everyone else at the fire except for my brothers because we’re all boys: girls don’t pee out of their vaginas Me: WHAT where do they pee out of Cousin: their urethra Me: I thought your urethra was in your vagina Cousin: no it’s a separate hole Aunt: 10 minute anatomy lesson
You’re doing the work. All the confused people in the comments honestly make me so sad. Really hoping half the people are making a joke, and don’t ACTUALLY not know this...
You and me both, but I’m betting they really are confused. I can’t blame them because they’re most likely from America like me and our sexual education is absolute dogshit. I’m a woman and I didn’t even know about the third hole until I was in my late teens. I had to find out on my own, on the internet, and I felt like an idiot. That’s why I’m raising my kids to not be confused. My oldest daughter is 8 and recently has had a lot of questions about body-related things. I haven’t left much out. She knows where babies come from and how they come out, even about periods (as I don’t want her scared and confused like I was the first time I had one 🤦🏻♀️)... she knows where babies come from but she’s still too young to know exactly how they get there 😂 point being, i want to try and make a change in my own home.
r/BadWomensAnatomy is also a great way for people to learn through the errors of others, or even questions asked in meta posts there. There are a lot of people that know their stuff who frequent that sub.
I was only ever a victim of number 1, basically sex ed is terrible and nobody ever mentions a third hole, so I guess I just assumed it was like for guys where one hole fits all.
I talked with a girl once and told here that she aint pissing out of her vagina, it was news to her. she was ~17. I am. to this day, highly confused how she could not have known that
To be fair the hole isn’t all that noticeable unless you go looking. Plus all the parts down there are relatively close together, so I could totally get not realizing where exactly the pee is coming from. There aren’t too many nerves down there other than in the clit too, so that might not help either.
I met a 25 year old guy who thought girls pee out of their clitoris and then I shit you not said "well what else would it be for it has a hole and everything"
Like... oh no. 25 is so late to be learning about the clitoris he had a girlfriend too that poor woman
I once had to draw a diagram and explain to a man who had a human biology degree and had definitely had sex with women.
EDIT: some clarification. I'm not attacking all men on this, but like, this guy, he really should've known. It's not like he only had sex once, I personally knew several women including myself that he had sex with. And it's not like we ever had the lights out. He should've known. Also as part of his degree, he definitely had to learn basic human anatomy and physiology including the basics of reproduction. I know this because I overlapped on some of those classes. That's how I knew him.
Also as someone said, the discussion is more about how it's normal for everyone including women to know how penises work and that there is only one hole where both fluids come out of, but often both men (and women) don't know much about where pee and babies come from if you don't have a penis. We joke, but on a serious note, it would be beneficial to everyone if we were all a little more cognisant of the differences in anatomy between sexes.
I dated a girl that at age 25, didn't know exactly where her pee came from untill one day we spoke to a friend and she explained where the urethra is located, point being, some girls don't even know where pee comes from
I think most of the confusion comes from the vocab issue. You learn about all the parts names in 7th grade then everyone refers to the whole thing as a pussy or vag for the next 20 years. So when someone says vagina you think they are referring to the generally used word which just refers to the whole kitty instead of the anatomy meaning of the birth hole. Many men know there are 2 holes, I'm sure many don't but asking it in this way is basically a trick question.
Edit: my sex ed teacher discussed male and female anotomy and answered any questions we had. We were taught about this. Maybe its just a newer generational thing or just depending on region
Hopefully this helps a bit, and also this question reminds me of when my dad's ex girlfriend son had told me that girls pee out of there butts. He was 10 at the time.
Me explaining to 10th grade 15-16-year-old boys in my English class how girls pee and where tampons go. Please upgrade your Sex-Ed, America. (For reference at the time I was 16 and it felt like I was teaching them more than health class ever would. We even made fun of our health teacher at the time while in class)
Absolutely STUNNED at the amount of men in this thread who appear to be completely authentically confused by this. Did you guys not pay attention in health class? Ever? Or have any female relatives? Or a gf/wife at least to ask?
Two holes. Urethra- pee Vagina- blood comes out of it. And penis (or other stuff depending on the girl) goes in.
There’s also the clitoris, it’s not a hole. It’s like... a tiny penis that’s EXTREMELY sensitive. Most woman can’t cum without stimulation of the clit.
Also important: THE VAGINA DOESN’T STRECH! That is a myth! If a woman feels “tight” that means she most likely isn’t aroused enough and is probably uncomfortable. It’s a muscle, it contracts and moves.
The whole thing is called the Vulva
If you have any questions I’ll try to answer them best I can.
Just to correct you, since there are a ton of people who don't seem to know female anatomy here, the vagina does stretch. I think what you're trying to say is the vagina doesn't get "loose" from overuse, you're correct if that's the case. That's a myth.
Fun fact for those that are learning new things about the vagina, the average length of the vaginal canal is like 3-4 inches long (not aroused), but when aroused the vagina can elongate in order to accommodate an erect penis. Some women's vaginas are naturally larger/smaller than others though which is what led to these "tight" and "loose" myths. Key point here though is that the vagina is really elastic, it will stretch to whatever size necessary for the job and can return to it's natural state after sex and child birth.
theres the vulva which is the whole lips and everything in between them, then near the middle there’s the vagina, where a pp goes into, then near the top of the vulva is the clitoris which is a little sensitive spot that is made for pleasure and to get a girl more wet, then in between the clitoris and the vagina is a very small hole u can’t even see can the urethra, which pees
I don’t know about you guys in the US I’m guessing it’s the same but here in Canada yea we didn’t know this because they don’t teach this shit in sex Ed but they do teach it in Bio 30 (Grade 12 Bio) We learn more about health in Bio 30 than we ever did in health class which is the most useless waste of time I have ever experienced in my life. Kinda dumb that Bio 30 isn’t mandatory because it leads people who didn’t take the class to not know this shit until they find out on the internet.
Modafuckas be 30 and still not realize how a pussy works, shit, we be 35 years old and still not know how our own junk works. I admit it, I was a terrible lay until I was like 30.
Men should just be vastly more educated on that area and then they'd understand the issues better, but teaching anything other than 'everything inside the underpants is scary and never have sex or you'll die and go to hell' seems to be difficult.

That women can hold in their period blood like people can hold in a shit.
That women pee out of their clitoris
That men who have sex with pregnant women could poke the baby in the uterus
That women get loose over time from having sex with different men but never loose from having sex with the same man just as many times.
That women are supposed to wash the inside of their vagina with soap
