    Edit: misread. I thought you asked what this was about. Yeah, I’m sure it wasn’t just here.

    Men would sometimes have doctors add an extra stitch to women after childbirth to make them tighter. I think I’ve even heard sometimes doctors did it without concent of either party. Some women didn’t even know it was done until they had complications and found out.

      It’s called the husband stitch and it is exactly as horrid as it seems if not moreso. Hopefully a dying trend.
