    My gf got told “it’s a pinch” and “there are no nerves in the cervix you won’t feel it”.

    They stab that shit with sharp pincers to hold it open. Ohhh it hurts.

      There are no nerves in the cervix?? I don’t know, I’m not a doctor. Maybe it’s just nerves everywhere around the cervix which funnily enough, makes no difference

        Iirc there are actually three major nerves that are stimulated by the cervix. What that doctor was referring to was the Kinsey report, which concluded in 1953 (against its own findings I might add) that the cervix was “the most completely insensitive part of the female genital anatomy.”
