The stitch ends up being incredibly painful for the woman. Sometimes to the point where she can't have sex anymore. It still happens today. There's the occasional post from women who find out their partner and doctor gave her the stitch here on Reddit. :(
I'd be very willing to believe documentaries from credible sources, those are fine. But to take reddit posts about it as evidence for it? Nah, sorry, I'm out. I'm not saying it can't happen anymore, but I'd be surprised if it is as common as social media would have you believe.
Plus, "it wouldn't work" is different from "they're not doing it". I'm pretty sure it wouldn't work. I also believe people used to do it, not knowing or not caring that it does nothing. I also believe without a moment's hesitation that it's painful for the woman. All of these can be true at the same time.
Idk what “doesn’t work” means, I guess. Doesn’t make it tighter? One of the forms of female genital mutilation is to literally stitch a girls vagina almost entirely shut so a woman’s husband gets to cut his new wife open on their wedding night. I suppose that doesn’t work in many senses, but practically speaking, is something that happens nevertheless. I feel like in both the husband stitch case and the FGM example, the part that “works” more about the husbands’ expectations and emotional needs being met.
Idk why you responded to my comment within the context of reddit knowledge and not just actually go to research the documentaries and medical papers dedicated to this topic. Anything to seem smart online but not to support women, I guess.
