Womenenitals have names - they don't need euphamisms

[Anonymous]

Stunned by the use of terms like "down there" and "you-know-what" to refer to women's genitals in the context of discussions among adults.

Vulva, clitoris, labia (inner/minora or outer/majora), vagina. If you're old enough to be having sex and having children, you're old enough to use the correct terms.

LOL - Women's genitals. Sorry. Hit return with my pinky accidentally while typing.

You are right. A friend told me it's also important to use the correct terms with children so that they have the vocabulary should they need it for whatever reason.

so, hummuna hummuna is to be avoided?

OP here. Just wanted to say that this was not meant to be a flame against any individual posters, which I realized it could be taken for. Just the phenomenon on here and elsewhere in general.

I mean, really, can you imagine if we talked about men's genitals as "wee-wees," "pee-pees," "private bits," or "down there"?

It's MY "Hoo Haa" so I feel I can call it whatever I want.
YOU can call yours whatever YOU want, too!

I kinda like womenenitals!

why do you care what I call my snatch? And if my DD tells a Dr. something about her pee-pee, I would imagine that the Dr. would know what that means.

They just use other terms like dong, shaft, salami, junk, the list goes on and on...

If you didn't mean to flame why are you pointing it out? Some people are more modest than others or just shy about putting VAGINA in a subject line. Who really cares?

How about tube steak. I was meeting my husband for lunch one afternoon and he told me we were going for tube steak. Not having any idea what it was I told my boss I was leaving to meet my husband to have tube steak. Imagine how stupid I felt when DH explained to me what it was. DOH.

Because it's a phenomenon wider than this board and the two most recent posts with subject lines like this are just examples that triggered this post. It's not about those posters. It's about the general idea.

And, fwiw, people often aren't talking about vaginas. Sometimes they're talking about sexual feelings in general, sometimes they're talking about the vulva as a whole, sometimes the tightness of the vagina, sometimes the shape of the labia - whatever.

Genitals is a fine word as well.

PP, it bothers or concerns you. That does not make it a "phenomenon" or a problem. Who cares what people are calling their privates.

That's classic! I've never heard it before, but did your boss's reaction suggest that he had?

OK, I'm dumb. What does tube steak mean?

Did you get any?
