to be a bit [hmm] at the amount of threads about female genitals?

[andsmile]

There just seems to be a few on the go...that is all.

I actually think it's great that we have a place on the internet where we can discuss such personal issues. It's certainly not something most of us want to talk to friends about it seems, and we can be anonymous here. As for why there are a few threads on genitals at the moment, I suspect it's because the first thread got people thinking about theirs, had a query, and thought where better to ask?

The 'what do your girls call their bits' thread is a MN perennial, and comes around every few months.

And, as for many things, one thread inspires a couple of others. It's a typical dynamic, and I don't see why vulvae should be exempt if that's what some posters want to talk about.

I think the pro fanny chatters have a completely valid point.

I don't have to talk about it, or read it if I don't want to.

As you were, wimmin.

You could eat your dinner off mine....

But so what if someone is wanking over these threads? Assuming that most of them are started by genuine posters who are interested or concerned about themselves or others, then why should people feel as though they can't discuss them?

Even if the threads are started by trolls, those contributing obviously have something that they want to say, so why should they be put off by the idea that somebody may be getting their kicks over it, particularly given that

a) it's not actually going to make any difference to any of the posters on here (unless they have provided enough information to be identifiable, which is a problem in itself, not necessarily just one pertinent to fanjo threads) and

b) isn't it akin to victim blaming to tell women that they can't discuss their bits in case someone chooses to jack off whilst reading the discussion.

I'd feel terribly sorry for anyone who wanked off over these threads. They'd have to be an absolute fucking loser

Oh yes, there's definitely the 'I shower 6 times a day or I can smell myself' threads too.....

None of them need a quick flannelling before a bunk up.Surely.

I'm a grown up, very comfortable with my genitals and by whole body. I am neither repressed nor silly. However, I love to talk about a whole range of things - including sex, sexuality, genitals, masturbation etc. I don't titter or giggle about it, I talk and discuss issues, such as people's attitudes towards the subject, how and why we use a variety of name for genitalia, personal hygiene, gender differences in how we discuss sex, society's attitude towards women who genuinely love to talk about it and get down and dirty.

If the thread is one that you find beneath you, then why not just click on another one instead, or start your own one on a subject you find more acceptable.

Well said mostwicked

Im the OP of this thread I want clarify. I dont mind talking about fanjos and as someone said 'pro fanny chatter' all very well all for female health and that...yes yes yes

I just observed on the number of them - I fought we were being invaded by pro fanny chatterers. I thought two of them were a bit off.

This self moderation malarky can be confuddling.

As you were fanjo owners (clean and dirty and all in between )

Insert 'to'

I don't post on them, the ONE time I did I got a suspect pm

Boggling Dame...

And then I got another one asking if I could send him my manky shoes. I've only been on MN 2 years, surely that's some sort of record? Ffs

dame seems, one could almost be jealous But seriously did you forward PM on to MNHQ?

OP, you do realise that this thread is just adding to the list?

metacommunication

I must admit I tend to think it is dirty old men

Good Lord, Dame, that is some skanky shit

I'm not a dirty old man.
I'm a dirty 40+ yr old woman.

Very few (if any) of the threads I have seen, seem like they have been written by a man to me. The odd post here and there, but not many.

Damn right I forwarded them! First one I got no response, second one they said I wasn't the only one

Oh dear, wonder if all the pro fanny chatterers woulkd still be chatting so much if they knew.

Just shows you doesn't Im glad you have said here. I certainly wont be posting intimate stuff again.
