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

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

My besto has helped me wax my area. I don't go out my way to flap about anywhere, but if a close friend asked me to compare, I wouldn't mind. We're all beautiful.

In saying that, fanny flaunting at work would have me drawing a line. Just as dodgy as seeing a male co-worker with his cock out. Grin

Over the years I have seen thousands upon thousands of penis and vigina’s in the course of my work and thinking about, it must be fair number who might have seen mine as I am a member of a naturist club. However I have never compared mine with friends or colleagues.

LoniceraJaponica · 24/12/2018 19:42

But surely naturists don't openly flaunt the area?

I went through a phase at junior school when a group of us became obsessed with doing this. We used to nominate who was going to do it it a particularly lesson and that person would do a quick pull aside if their knickers while we quickly peeked under the table, sniggering.

It all ended when a friend's dad walked in on the two of us with our pants down in her bathroom. I was about 8 and have NEVER wanted to it EVER again.

acegod · 24/12/2018 19:57

not normal your wired please urgently see a phycologist you might have an illness you dont know about!.

Please for our sake see a doctor too. You might have caught something!

Ppl shouldnt be asking to compare in the first place. Advise them to see a shrink too.

Well, this is interesting because I was shocked when I first used the gym changing rooms a couple of years ago at exactly how many genitals were on display. So this is not just amongst friends but complete strangers. When I had previously used communal changing rooms, it was rare to spot a glimpse of sideboob. I'm probably a prude but I found it all a bit discombobulating.

Gth1234 · 24/12/2018 20:56

Well, clearly modern youth, females especially, are a lot less prurient than their parents and grandparents.

Sacredspace · 24/12/2018 21:50

Hey millennials, show us ya genitals, almost rhymes!

Alpacanorange · 24/12/2018 22:03

You have a slightly strange friend.

DRE56322 · 24/12/2018 22:08

I am a millennial and the only person who has seen my Jack and Danny is sexual partners (number undisclosed) and a couple of medical staff.

Flashing your minge at a works party would be rather frowned upon at my place of work.

mlrmummy1 · 24/12/2018 22:27

The midwives who delivered my three children are still traumatised and they’ve been paid. Why would my friends willingly want to see?!?!??!?!?!

HellsBellsAndBatteredBananas · 24/12/2018 22:54

I have seen my best friends lady garden but that was only because she was left in such a state after her THIRD repair surgery from her twins. The first midwife somehow managed to stitch 2 of her inner labia folds together into a tube. Every corrective surgery made it worse and after the third they assured her it was perfect and she knew it wasn't. I'm not a gynaecologist but it took a very quick furtive glance to agree with her that nobody has holes in their flappy bits and they had botched it again. I had to take pics for her solicitor to get a malpractice case started.

Other than that I haven't done "show me yours and il show you mine" since I was maybe 5 and then got such giggles I wet myself before it happened !

Dita73 · 24/12/2018 23:21

I don’t want to look at my minge and the last thing I’d do is impose it on anyone else! They’re horrible looking things. Seen better looking bulldogs

CoughLaughFart · 24/12/2018 23:27

A minge binge?

autumnboys · 24/12/2018 23:32

Definitely no. Not a thing in my circles, thank god.

TheLittleDogLaughed · 25/12/2018 06:46

My best friend, in our 20s, asked me to check if her vagina seemed ‘loose’ after a —twat— guy she had slept with told her it was. Not really the same as an office vulva share though.

Bluesheep8 · 25/12/2018 08:07

What? Why? I've never heard of this. Or seen anyone else's IRL.

NoParticularPattern · 25/12/2018 08:12

Nope. Pretty sure this isn’t a thing. I mean I don’t have many friends, but I am a millennial and I’ve definitely never shown mine to anyone who didn’t have a medical need to see it. I’ve certainly never asked anyone to look at it (actually I did ask the midwife once but that was because of my stitches feeling weird....).

HopeIsNotAStrategy · 25/12/2018 08:27

How ridiculous. No.

MintyT · 25/12/2018 08:29

I haven't but mine is so lovely they would be jealous!

Idlikeabunchofbananasplease · 25/12/2018 08:37

Yeah sounds a bit weird to me, but replies on here are so funny 😂😂😂😊

mumlost1940 · 25/12/2018 09:14

Ever since I was invited to make that kind of inspection, I have carried a hand held magnifying glass in my purse to assist the purpose. A friend of a friend's friend once told me about a football referee who inspected the genitals of a team before a match. Rumours had spread about that, not all the team members were blokes, and burly women from the local hockey team were infiltrated.

Janedoe5000 · 25/12/2018 09:44

Millenials are pretty thick and self-entitled but I've never heard this as a thing attributed to them.

A lot of them are complete degenerates though, so I'm not completely surprised.

PositivelyPERF · 25/12/2018 10:59

Oh stop it Janedoe5000! You know you’ve only posted that to try to wind people up. I hope you got a lump of coal in your stocking. 🎄 🎁 😆

maggienolia · 25/12/2018 13:02

I did have a chap bare his arse at me when I was driving home yesterday.
It was -1 too.
Not a pretty sight.
