#20 A bit of how's your vulva?

Upon reading a sex therapist's tip for all women to use mirrors to 'get to know' their vaginas, I reflect on why even experts shy away from saying vulva. Because most of the time, when we say vagina, we're actually referring to the vulva. So, I'm on a mission to get everyone using the proper word and stop being so weird about it!Expanding upon this, I reveal that I'm still a bit ignorant about all the parts of the female reproductive system and menstrual cycle. To be fair though, I'm terrible at remembering LOADS about the human body and its systems, so it's not just female specific.Anyway, this leads me on to talking about how D.H Lawrence used the C*** word in Lady Chatterly's Lover. Not because he was a saucy so & so, but because he wanted to return the word to its original use and meaning. He wanted to celebrate women's c***s, along with their sexuality. No wonder the book was banned at the time - which I realised after was more likely to be in the 1920s, after the FIRST World War (not the second, which I said by mistake. Honest. I do know the dates of both World Wars).So, uncover your ears and listen to me talking about vaginas, vulvas and c***s. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
