“The preference for tightness during intercourse is so well known in Western culture that U.S. obstetricians even have⟳ a term for the extra stitch they often perform⟳ when doing episiotomy repairs following childbirth: the "husband's stitch." The husband's stitch is intended to produce⟳ a smaller vaginal opening, to counteract the natural stretching of the tissues from sexual activity and childbirth and even to make⟳ the opening more constricted than it might have⟳ been before.”

““Each time they’d build⟳, they’d try⟳ to outbuild all the rest⟳ of them,” said Dr. Randall F. Hipple, a retired obstetrician who helped establish⟳ a seven-block stretch⟳ of the street as a National Historic District.”
