    There’s probably some theory like “you can’t get proper patient feedback with anesthesia” or some such bullshit.

      No medical consensus just decided based on a bunk study by Alfred Kinsey that, because only 5% of women could feel a “gentle stroke” to the cervix by a small probe, the cervix must be “the most completely insensitive part of the female anatomy” and not possess any nerve endings and therefore it must be fake when women complain about having any sensation there. Nevermind that the data in the study itself disproved its own conclusion and the 3 major nerve groups that are stimulated by the cervix.
