To ask if showing your lady parts is "a thing"

[Polkapjs]

A millennial friend has told me about “you know that thing when you show each other your vaginas?” And on seeing my shocked face didn’t say much more other than to explain she’s been showing a colleague at the work’s party and now is embarrassed
Is the comparison even a thing? Is this normal. It was delivered in a way which suggested it was totally normal like comparing hand size...
So tell me - have I been living under a rock? I’d no sooner display my wares than poke needles in my eyes

@Birdsgottafly that was exactly it,

I hadn't been feeling great for about 2 days but hadn't realised I still had a tampon in, only realised when I went to insert another and hit it, so tried to remove original but cord was off at my 1st go, overbalanced and hit my head and passed out cold, came round but kept passing out again

When she was beside me on bathroom floor she put 2+2 together and thought when she heard lost tampon and passed out, confused me she tried to get it out first while thinking what time the local Drs
did their surgery and getting me down there practically.

She tried as a 1st line solution, then had to manhandle a dazed confused me to front door and someone helped into her car, I was getting more and more confused and she wasnt sure what was from what, heck the 1st GP couldn't get it out - while not pleasant for her she was trying to help in the same way, if I'd fallen and broken my arm or leg as in support the injured part first and then get help as needed.

She knew it was a possibility and took what action she could on the spot while she worked out what else to do. If it had come out easily, she would have monitored me on the sofa for changes and then sought help as needed or encouraged me to see GP the following day.

I did once sleepwalk when extremely drunk and naked, collapsing in a sprawled heap in a corridor of my fellow students/friends. I still remember this at 3am occasionally - I wake in a cold sweat dying of shame 😰

But I can't say I've ever got my bits out for comparison purposes with anyone, let alone colleagues

I am 'millennial' apparently and the only people that have seen mine and trained professionals and a few lucky men 😉
It's not a thing no but a lot of people do it, even on BB this year one girl showed a select few her 'down there' piercing 🙄

Hear ye, hear ye , come show thine Fanjo to your mates

Mine looks like a punched lasagne, I'm not showing it to anyone!

I wouldn’t have said comparing hand size is particularly normal either tbh.

I've not done it.

I have read about women doing it - and looking at their own in a mirror (that I can understand), many, many years ago when women often didn't know what it looked like.

Doesn't appeal to me, thank you.

I see plenty of fannies on a daily basis. Care assistants generally do.
They're typically over 80 years old and balding when we get to them though.

(The fannies that is, not their owners )

My friend once took a photo of her episiotomy, about three weeks after giving birth, and sent it to me. Does that could?

punched lasagne 🤣🤣🤣

I had a friend at uni who did this. She went into a toilet cubicle and compared with a friend. I was when she told me. Millennial here and it’s something I’ve never done. My friend was a bit older then me and her friend was about 20 years older than her, so not just a younger generation thing apparently!

I'm the wrong side of 40. I've never felt the need to show my lady bits to friends and have never seen theirs - who would want to? And why?

My DD is a millennial. She gets unwanted dick pics on a regular basis ( I have a thread about it). She wouldn't post a pic of her armpit, never mind her bits that should be private!

Ladies show off their genitals? Are you serious OP?? 😏

My former sister-in-law sent up-close-and-personal photographs to my father of her giving birth to my nephew.

Dad was not delighted.

Guess it depends op
Is your friend a porn star ? if so then they probably have seen each other’s bits up close
However for the rest of us no it’s not a thing.
It really really isn’t

Jessstan2 Yes - IIRC, this was a bit of a 'thing' (!) with 2nd-wave feminists back in the day.

I’m classed as a millennial but no I’ve never flashed my bits to any friends or colleagues.

I also genuinely hate the way we’re lumped together, like we’re all avocado eating hipsters.

No your bits are private unless you are a porn star or have to go to the Med Gu regularly. Have you asked her why she wishes to see yours? Compare size or summat? Make sure hers is normal?

I would have told her to piss off.

How different from the home life of our own dear Queen

OP why even ask this weird question what answers were you expecting?

I feel your pain... I saw what can only be described as “too much” of a female colleague at the Christmas party, not in a “let’s just compare” type way in a “sitting on a public loo with the door open chatting to all and sundry” type way - but I am still recovering from the fact... I don’t get it either!

Only tend to show mine at medical examinations ….. is she a prostitute and concerned what it looks like or perhaps considering a bi of plastic surgery and wanted an opinion... heck why would you need to show off genitals.

Never been tempted to show all and sundry, neither have any millennials I know!

Loolololol

Not normal at all. Deffo not a thing.
I'm the generation before (Xennial) and this kinda behaviour shocks me. I've heard of men doing it,but not women. Having said that the way some millennials are it doesn't surprise me. I don't know why you'd want to show your lady parts to your friends..compare and contrast? Yikes.
