Dr. Geo. Cupples was called upon to explain the "Husband Stitch," which he did as follows: He said that when he was stitching up a ruptured perineum, of a married lady, the husband was an anxious and interested observer, and when he had taken all the stitches necessary, the husband peeped over his shoulders and said, "Dr., can't you take another stitch?" and he did, and called it the "Husband Stitch"
The Egyptian word for the space between anus and genitals is wpt mtny.[4]
The perineum is an erogenous zone.[3] This area is also known as the taint or gooch in American slang.
