It isn’t about helping women understand their sexual pleasure. It’s about making sure doctors know it so that they don’t damage the anatomy during surgery, during repairs, etc. It’s also so that they understand how the clitoris works.

Urologists know detailed anatomy of the penis. This is accepted as important for adequate understanding and treatment of male sexual dysfunction. None of this is about making male patients understand anything about their pleasure. Get it?

Doctors learning the anatomy of every other organ in the body isn’t so they can then educate patients. Patients don’t need super detailed information on how kidneys, hearts, livers, intestines, etc work. But it would be a problem if doctors didn’t know it.
