I saw this posted on the old AO blog and was really struck by it. If you showed this picture of the female reproductive system to boys and girls and asked where the space is in her body to host an erect penis, is there any doubt what common sense would tell them?
It's funny, I was just thinking about this the other day. The same is true of the outside. I was just about to penetrate my wife's ass which was stuck up in the air invitingly for me and was gaping slightly as I had just taken a buttplug out and I remarked to myself that it was just so obvious that the penis go in that round beckoning hole - the exact shape! - than in that other more vertically shaped orifice. I love my wife's pussy and I love to look at it but it doesn't seem obvious at all that that is where a cock would go.
Well from the outside, sure. but if you were to actually pull back the molly guards and look at the socket itself, you'd see that it's plenty round.
As for why the drapes themselves are shaped like that, I have two guesses
1)it has to do with how we develop before birth.
See, there's a decently-sized span of time where the genitals of a male fetus and those of a female one are indistinguishable; it's only once this timeframe has passed that the two developmental pathways diverge*.
Since each structure on the one sex therefore has a corresponding one on the other (clitoris/glans, vaginal canal/penis shaft, labia/scrotum, etc.), it would stand to reason that the "pre-schism" genitals would need to take on a "half&half" form so as to make things easier. It would also stand to reason that it would become easier still if both of the finalized versions made their own structural accommodations.
*Now this isn't to say that the fetus's sex is up in the air until this point comes, it is of course all determined beforehand by the genes.
2)Since the penis does not generally enter the woman from a perfectly perpendicular angle, it would make sense for their to be a "landing strip" of sorts built into the labia. (Now that I think about it it might also help a man who has trouble lining his spear up properly.)
