Pelvic floor & prostate
BodyParts3D anatomy (CC BY) from a male volunteer — use this map if you have a prostate. Motion is capped to millimetres. Drag to orbit; use Rest / Front / Back / Combined. Day 0 lets you switch maps.
Pick the organs you have. Trans and nonbinary people: same rule — not the gender on a form. Atlases come from a male volunteer and a female cadaver; they are teaching pictures, not a diagnosis of who you are.
Written guides: front and back · the drop
Floor soft. Breathe. Notice the baseline.
