Dd can do this on demand. Not that I demand she does it but she thinks its hysterical.

And it's not just a little fanjo parp. It's like a trumpet which just keeps going and going. She's trying to play tunes now. Dh thinks she will be able to make a career out of it. Hmm

I've told her she'll knacker her pelvic floor.

It is not sinister at all, i am not suggesting anything of the sort, it is just inappropriate and made me uncomfortable.

I can do this. I haven't had children. It's hilarious. I'm 28 Blush

SparkyTGD · 26/06/2013 10:04

I agree with the 'po', not appropriate, if OP had changed to her sister/cousin/friend/herself, female over 20 (ish) basically it would be ok and funny.

Think of how hairy handed trucker types would love all the details in this thread Shock

Think of how hairy handed trucker types would love all the details in this thread What?

FFS!

LEMisdisappointed · 26/06/2013 10:16

Babbadie - yes, its very funny Grin but you are 28 so its is perfectly ok for you to regale us with detailed instructions and imagery of you legs akimbo cycling and parping away but that is because you are 28!!! not 12

I don't think anyone was suggesting that there is anything intentionally sinister in this, just that it is all a pretty ick to be joking about a young girl in this way.

I don't think it is PO or prudish to point it out. I just think people got carried away and forgot they were talking about a little girl. Which is why I responded to it.

I think people on MN sometimes forget that this is a public forum and that anyone could be reading/contributing to a thread. That isn't being paranoid, that is the sad reality.

And as for flocking, I think you are simply witnessing lots of people happening to agree with each other. No great conspiracy there.

NameThatTuna · 26/06/2013 10:54

What's the difference between farting from your bum or from your vagina?

After all they are just parts of a human body, no?

Someone said up thread about the use of the word clitoris, when OP was explaining how her DD described how she could do it. Isn't that the correct name for that particular body part?

Just because some think its a word associated with sex, it really isn't.

HighBrows · 26/06/2013 10:58

I'm po faced at the po facedness on this thread Smile

Look I read this thread in the lighthearted way it was intended. It's a thread about body functions and body parts, there's nothing sexual about. I have two daughters around this age DD1 is very modest and will dress in private, shower in private and I haven't seen her naked in years. DD2 is the total opposite. I respect both their modesty stances!

Fenton · 26/06/2013 10:59

Jesus OP, what were you thinking when you decided to post about this? Shock

KrazyKurls · 26/06/2013 11:09

I discovered this talent at 9 months pregnant with DC1, the only comfy position was on all fours with my arse in the air. I used to wake DH up to entertain him!

Haven't tried it since, will do when I get home - currently sitting on a building site might be a bit inappropriate!

HepsibarCrinkletoes · 26/06/2013 11:15

Lazy you are talking crap. I am not PO faced, but this thread is beyond the pale. And as to my never posting on AIBU, I think you will find that under my old user names (I changed yesterday) I can only ever be found on AIBU.

AmazingBouncingFerret · 26/06/2013 11:27

You'll all have to forgive me I am incredibly bored this morning and I'm trying to put off going outside for a cigarette.

I advanced searched all the naysayers on this thread. all of them have posted numerous times on the Am I Being Unreasonable topic.

So erm yeah.

I'll just go flock off and do something productive now...

Fenton · 26/06/2013 11:32

I have read back up and seen that " MN search is a wonderful thing "

such a shitty thing to post, just stirs up the paranoia about all the pm/facebook let's jump on the thread nonsense. Hmm

btw Active Convos is a wonderful thing, - it's where I hang out mostly.

bottleofbeer · 26/06/2013 11:37

Po faced? pearl clutching? hahah baby Jebus, not even close.

It's a horrible thread.

Sheshelob · 26/06/2013 11:56

There seems to be some confusion here, so I'll just say it one last time.

Pointing out that thread had become sexualised is not the same as sexualising the thread. I think you'll find the ping pong ball jokes and video from Benidorm did that. Fine if we were talking about Viva's vagina. Not fine when talking about her CHILD's.

How is that hard for some people to grasp?

Fuck it. I'm gonna go full po now.

These kinds of jokes get filed with rape jokes in my opinion - not fucking funny. It opens the door to people thinking that stuff like this is acceptable to say. And aren't we struggling enough with the sexualisation of our children - see Jimmy Saville and countless grooming cases - to not have to encounter this shit on a forum where people frankly should know better? It is shit like this that creates situations where boys and girls can't innocently talk about and explore their bodies without it being pornified. It is fucking vile.

I feel very strongly that children need to be taught that their bodies are natural and should respected, and that part of that is knowing that they should be private, not least in this era of advanced technology. But also that their body is something they are in control of. This thread has shown no respect for any of that.

For fucking shame.

thebody · 26/06/2013 11:59

It is all about intent though isn't it and I am dam sure the op just posted and didn't really think it through.

I agree it was ill advised and I know my dds who are early teens would never think this funny, like others they are extremely private, but hope no real harm done here.

HepsibarCrinkletoes · 26/06/2013 12:07

Everything Sheshelob says. And before the po bashers leap on that, I don't know her from Adam.

HighBrows · 26/06/2013 12:08

I get what you and others are saying Sheshelob but I do think the OP didn't intend to cause so much offence.

I didn't read too much into the sexual side of this I just took it as something lighthearted.

dontmeanto · 26/06/2013 12:18

The first thing I thought when reading was 'is that even safe??'

Isn't there something about excessive air up there possibly causing health problems? Embolisms and such? Although it may only occur if the air stays in.

specialmagiclady · 26/06/2013 12:21

I'm so disappointed. I was really enjoying this thread. Now you've ruined it with your sexualisation nonsense.

Sheshelob · 26/06/2013 12:26

Sheesh.

I give up.

chaya5738 · 26/06/2013 12:27

I agree with Sheshelob

It is one thing to talk about farting fannies (which is funny) and another to be making comments about a 12 year old CHILD using her fanny to shoot ping pong balls, ffs. What is wrong with people? Why is it po-faced to object to the sexualisation of children?

VenusSurprising · 26/06/2013 12:28

I can't imagine not being able to do this.

My physio says it's very good for your pelvic muscles, for control and engagement of the abdominal transverse muscles.

Get cracking on those queefs gals. My yoga class is more like the wind section of a fanjo orchestra!

Once you can do it, your DH/P will enjoy the sensation too!!

To the po faced few, it's only one of many things we anonymously discuss about our 12 year old Dds. Lighten up maybe?
