It's a remarkable demonstration of the precision, adroitness and control of their pubococcygeal muscles. An equally impressive demonstration is 'smoking a cigarette' there.Lol, erm no, but I've been to Thailand and encountered the rather unusual female 'fascination' with ping-pong balls, and the orifices out of which they exit!
