Male barklice of the species Neotrogla have a vagina-like indentation, while their female counterparts have a penis-like structure called a gynosome. This unique genital reversal was studied by a team of entomologists from Hokkaido University, who used micro computer tomography to create 3D models of copulating winged insects from Brazilian caves.
The gynosome is a complex organ with specific muscles and pipes that enable females to attach themselves to males for extended periods of up to 70 hours. One set of muscles unfurls the gynosome, allowing it to enter the male and suck up semen. Another set of muscles then contracts the organ, depositing the sperm into two storage slots inside the female’s body.
The team suggests that the evolution of the female penis was driven by sexual selection, favoring intense female-female competition. The females’ ability to stock up on double the amount of sperm may provide a clue as to why they are so active in their efforts to find semen. The sperm is packaged with nutrient-filled spermatophores, which may serve as a source of nutrition in resource-deprived cave environments.
The lack of reliable food sources in Brazilian caves may have facilitated the evolution of sex-role reversals in the species, where females have a greater incentive to seek out and consume nutrients through their copulatory behavior.
Passengers Kicked Off Flight for Saying ‘Penis’Passengers Kicked Off Flight for Saying ‘Penis’
On Monday night, three passengers were removed from a flight at Flint Bishop International Airport by flight attendants. Two of them were allegedly kicked off the plane for using a certain anatomical term, according to the passengers. The incident involved a father-in-law and son who claimed that they were having a good time and mentioned the word “penis” without any derogatory intent. However, the flight crew had deemed their behavior unruly, possibly due to other factors such as being intoxicated or aggressive. Allegiant Airlines provided a different version of the story, stating that the passengers failed to comply with the crew’s instructions and were therefore deplaned for the safety of other passengers and crew members. The airline emphasizes that it does not tolerate any disruptive, abusive, or unruly behavior on its flights.
Iranian boy is born WITHOUT a penis: Baby has intact scrotum but urinates out of his anus in one30million medical deformityIranian boy is born WITHOUT a penis: Baby has intact scrotum but urinates out of his anus in one30million medical deformity
An Iranian boy was born without a penis, and surgeons want to make him a vagina, which is controversial.
Medically known as aphallia, the condition of the unidentified boy is so uncommon that it is thought to only occur in one in thirty million births.
In the medical literature, fewer than one hundred cases have been reported.
When his case was first reported in a journal, the boy, who was 14 months old at the time, still had two testicles and a healthy scrotum.
However, his extraordinary defect caused him to urinate through his anus.
Aphallia is a condition in which the genitalia do not develop normally during the first few months of pregnancy.
Diphallia, in which male babies are born with two penises, is caused by a similar process.
His mother, who was also not identified, said she had no issues during her pregnancy.
Doctors were able to figure out how his unique urinary system worked through special tests that were performed months after his birth.
An abnormal connection between his rectum and bladder was revealed by a special dye.
Specialists these days make young men brought into the world with aphallia a penis, in a technique known as a phalloplasty.
Doctors can also reconnect their urinary system to them by giving them a urethra.
However, in this instance, doctors said in a controversial way that gender reassignment and feminization surgery to create a pseudo-vagina are the recommended treatments.
They additionally prescribe estrogen treatment during pubescence to quell changes in his body, for example, the improvement of beard growth and the developing of the voice to adjust to his new orientation.
Despite the fact that this has historically been the treatment for aphallia, with boys being raised as girls, intersex and DSD charities have criticized this strategy because it is typically motivated by societal expectations of gender and sex rather than by medical considerations.
However, the doctors at Zahedan University of Medical Sciences did not specify whether the boy would undergo feminization surgery.
Intersex people are also boys born with aphallia.
Aphallia is thought to affect only one in every 10 million to 30 million births.
However, due to the stigma attached to the condition in some parts of the world, some experts believe that cases are underreported.
The cause of aphallia in the womb is unknown to scientists.
