If you look closely at this diagram of boys’ and girls’ body parts, you may find yourself asking a few key questions. I did. Namely:
1) What are these two children doing playing shirtless together? Where is her top?
2) I’m guessing the girl parts are too “private” or salacious to depict (breasts and vulva) even though we get a frontal view of the boy. Why is this?
3) Are we really calling the butt(ocks) the “seat”?
4) Is the “loin” truly the lower back? I did not know this.
5) Why not names for the genital parts? What did they call them back then, if anything at all?
