Half of men are unable to identify the vagina, a poll by a gynaecological cancer charity has found.
The Eve Appeal asked 2,000 Brits - half of whom were men - to point out the vagina on a diagram, but 50 per cent of the men were unable to do so correctly.
The charity is now calling for better awareness of gynaecological issues amongst men, particularly relating to symptoms of cancers, including those of the womb, ovaries, cervix, vagina and vulva.
The survey results have been released to mark the start of Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month (September), and the charity says that for too many men, women’s bodies are “still a taboo subject, shrouded in mystery.”
According to the survey, 17 per cent of men “know nothing about gynaecological health issues and don’t feel that theyneed to know, as it is a female issue.” And half also admitted they wouldn’t feel comfortable discussing the topic with a female partner.
