Just shown DH the above image (prompted by a thread in AIBU), with the intention of saying 'look, what a good thing, to show that not all women are the same' sort of thing.

Before i could say anything he looked at it and said 'ugh'. 'Eww', in fact, and pulled a face.

I'm hmm and sad that that was his gut reaction. I told him as much, and we bickered.

I know this isn't a big deal, but i think it's a shame. I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable about it tbh. Isn't it a bit odd of him? My gut reaction to an image of a penis isn't 'ugh'.

I agree with Karlos.

I am frankly shocked by the amount with piercings. And yes, disembodied vulvas are ugly. I think mine is pretty ace after seeing this. I mean really when people go to see this exhibition all they will be doing is saying 'Ooh thats a good one' and 'Urgh! That one's fucking dreadful!'
And men's peni look like plucked chickens.

I didn't go eww, but I don't like genitals male or female. The wall was interesting, especially the sheer variety. And the piercings looked like boils!

I also dislike feet. And toes. Ewwww.

There is a wall of willies!

I can't do a link, but Google 'wall of willies' - Images, if you're interested.

Aaanyway. I want to thank you all for a bit of perspective. It's been interesting grin 'Love cleft' made me laugh and so did the fishy salty rock pool poem!

My self esteem is very brittle and i tend to look for problems where there is none. Bit PMT'y right now as well, so i'll put it down to that smile
