After reading a ton of old erotica I’m trying to bring back the Victorian ā€œcubbyholeā€.

Also props to not including vulva on the list with is even worse than vagina

What are your thoughts on the assertion by some that Vulva is the ā€˜correct term’ (at least in general/medical arenas) as vagina is reductive and reduces a woman to the one part and erases all of the parts that for most women make sex a pleasurable rather than functional experience?

I agree it’s not the prettiest word, but certainly think it’s an interesting point.

Haha autocorrect! I meant cunny

:smiley: I quite like cubbyhole!

Well yeah vulva is the whole package but no one even says it, I don’t even think doctors say it when I’ve been to them with any VULVA troubles. I was reading about terms recently so I can teach Jnr a decent one as I hate cutesy words but I similarly can’t imagine vulva being something I want us to use.

Was watching American Horror Story the other night in which it Was referred to as ā€˜your mossy bank’.

This was considered part of the problem by those that brought this up, arguing that it’s an ingrained patriarchal attitude including internalised misogyny thing.

I guess in terms of terms, It comes with learning and various parts being named maybe, rather than looking for one as a whole?

Definitely can understand not wanting to use something cutesy.

Apologies this is heteronormative but it’s what I’m most interested in, feel free to create more inclusive or alternative ones:

I am a woman and if my male partner watched porn:

  • I’d like/expect/accept it
  • I wouldn’t be particularly happy but it’s not a big deal/kind of inevitable
  • Would be pissed off
  • I consider this as bad/almost as bad as cheating

You could die before then! It’s never going to be 100% unless you’re literally at it now.

I can’t stop laughing at this. Just the way it’s been written.

It’s marvellous, isn’t it? ā€œI don’t have ANY problems with him masturbating, none at all… BUT WHY DOES HE DO IT IT’S TEARING ME APART?!ā€

Was a great response on Twitter from a bloke who was just like ā€œI could bang my wife ten times an evening in a mind-blowing display of sexual prowess, and as soon as she stepped out the door my instinct would still be to knock one out.ā€
