Going literally shitty on this one. This will probably also be a decent survey of lemmy’s demographics; every man I’ve shared this with reacts in abject terror while all the women who didn’t know you can do this look like a divine revelation had struck them. 🤣
The nurse assisting my wife while she was giving birth did this for her while helping dialate prior to delivery. It wasn’t something they warned us about in the birthing classes.
Fun fact: as a nurse, constipation is the only condition I’m allowed to independently diagnose! Well that’s what my instructor told me anyway, and she was admittedly a dinosaur so that may have changed at some point in the last 100 years idk
