The Girlfriend MD’s 4 Kookiest Vagina Stories
Lissa Rankin, May 31, 2011
As a gynecologist who also happens to be more bouncy cheerleader than stuffed shirt, I’m pretty much the beck-and-call girl for most of my girlfriends when it comes to girly parts and the questions you’d only ask your gynecologist if she was your best friend. Which means I also get asked to tell stories at parties, the way I did in "Gyno Guzzling: A Vagina Drinking Game".
I happen to love vaginas, so my goal is not to be irreverent or make fun of people who have suffered from vaginal misfortune, but it does happen to make for fun dinnertime conversation, as those who have been to my dinner parties can attest. But for those of you who have missed my dinner parties, I wanted to invite you to sit down with a group of friends, pour yourself a glass of wine, and respectfully honor some of the women who have come across my radar in the ten years I practiced gynecology. So here’s a toast. And a warning. This post is not for the faint of heart. To VAGINAS!

Lissa Rankin, March 24, 2011
A few weeks ago, I finally finished my 20 city book tour to promote What's Up Down There? Questions You'd Only Ask Your Gynecologist If She Was Your Best Friend (Woo-hoo! Trumpets blare! Cymbals crash! Phew). But i realized that I never posted a juicy blog that I wrote in the fall at the beginning of the tour... and gals, is it a good one. Did you hear the story of how CBSNews.com asked me to write this post -- "15 Crazy Things About Vaginas" -- for their website on the launch day of my book? They had posted "15 Crazy Things About Sperm" and it was wildly popular. So they figured they’d play nice in the sandbox and give us girls our time in the limelight.
And then, after it had been up on their website for about an hour, some suit in corporate made them pull it.
“Too saucy.”
You can read the whole crazy-making story here.
Anyway, I never did get around to posting what I wrote for them. So here you go.

I wrote this ages ago and simply forgot to post it. Bunches of you were curious what the Harmony Festival is Santa Rosa was all about, so here are the details so you can put it on your calendar for next year!
Owning Gender: Thoughts on Gender Reassignment

Lissa Rankin, January 30, 2009
I’m about to teach a series of workshops titled Owning Sexuality, and it’s got me thinking what a big task I have ahead of me. Do any of us do a good job of really owning our sexuality? I think not.
Blissed Out
Lissa Rankin, November 9, 2008
I shocked Yoni today. (Have I told you about Yoni yet? She's my inner feminine- my vagina, uterus, ovaries, and little voice inside. We've become friends, and we chat from time to time.) I didn’t mean to, but I think I snuck up on Yoni, taking her a little off guard, when she was reading a book or maybe watching some old Sex and the City reruns.
Gifts From Yoni
Lissa Rankin, November 9, 2008I didn’t always have conversations with my girl parts. After all, I am physician, a doctor of obstetrics and gynecology. I studied biochemistry and Gross Anatomy and pharmacology, through four years of college, four years of medical school, and four years of residency, and I passed so many board exams that I can’t even imagine how many millions of little oval bubbles I filled in with number two pencils, during the course of my career.
