Here's one interesting thing I learned during the advocacy around alkyl nitrites.
Anal intercourse has a reputation for being painful and this made our advocacy strategy intelligible to a committee of old, white and almost entirely cishet male doctors.
HOWEVER.
Did you know the same proportion of people report pain during anal intercourse as during vaginal intercourse???
Yet we normalise PIV as painless and stigmatise ppl with vaginismus as disordered!
