I could name all internal reproduction organs (Fallopian tubes, uterus,...) because that part we studied in high school. This is sadly still true today even though there is some kind of sex ed in middle school nowadays because it's still focused on binary genders and reproduction/birth control.

I don't think the correct terms are difficult or unsexy. I think we make them so when we're reluctant to use them regularly, and to teach them to young children, so people are able to choose when to use them and when to use more colloquial terms (like you would do for many other words).
