Pete the penis has a certain ring to it...

Get some beads on your pubes and tell him to do his hail marys or just start calling his penis the slug

“Your Mary feels so good tonight”

Oooooooooh Noooooooooo Grin
Just not coping with that!!!!

Yourblogness · 25/01/2020 12:09

@damnthatanxiety, certainly has a ahem drying out factor to it doesn’t it

In various regions ‘Mary’ is a common term, it’s not like he’s calling it ‘Suzy’ or whatever.

He’s trying not to! As long as he knows what he’s doing with ‘Mary’ I wouldn’t be bothered, as long as he’s TRYING to call it something more acceptable (to you) 🤷🏻‍♀️

Madonna/Whore complex, much?

Yourblogness · 25/01/2020 12:11

@justilou1, interesting observation. How did you come to that conclusion

Is he Northern? Grin

@damnthatanxiety
😂😂😂🤮 I cant deal with that either.

damnthatanxiety · 25/01/2020 12:14

justilou1 I don't see the M/W complex connection unless you are literally referring to 'Mary'. But as 'Mary' is an established name for the vagina (apparently), I doubt his use of that name has any religious connections. M/W complex sees a man unable or unwilling to be sexual with his love partner but see other women who are sexually attractive to him as whores. Doesn't really fit here. Thankfully.

Bluerussian · 25/01/2020 12:15

I heard that years ago also the bloke's bit as 'Johnny'. Johnny and Mary aye? Could be worse.

Boireannachlaidir · 25/01/2020 12:16

If he's got any sense he'll stop calling it Mary when he sees that it doesn't get him anywhere... total turn off.

Panpastels · 25/01/2020 12:16

According to urban dictionary:
[[https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=a%20mary&amp=true&defid=7398891
a mary]]
Slang for vagina.
'Im going to find myself a Mary to fill tonight'
Shock

handinclove · 25/01/2020 12:19

No, just no. I shuddered when you gave the example.

TheMustressMhor · 25/01/2020 12:20

He actually says this while you are engaging in intercourse?

iklboo · 25/01/2020 12:22

How old is he? I suppose Mary is (marginally) better than derogatory slang for it but it's not very.....romantic...is it?

Cheeryandmerry · 25/01/2020 12:23

Mary is a completely normal name ......as in William (Willy) and Mary, Stuart King and Queen. It’s completely acceptable......

........if you’re five years old.

Otherwise, no. Just no.

Skittlesandbeer · 25/01/2020 12:24

Um yes, there is a connection between Mary and Madonna. Surely even the UK regional variants acknowledge that much?

Certainly my southern regions are cringing, it’s so obvious?!

peardrops1 · 25/01/2020 12:24

This is a good candidate for the ick thread

DareDevil223 · 25/01/2020 12:25

It just seems to slip out.

dontgobaconmyheart · 25/01/2020 12:27

How do you sleep with this man OP, that's grim Confused. Probably some weird latent emotional problems he has to do with women/sex/shame. Maybe that was what he and his ex called it..

From a grown adult man, and after I had pecifically asked him to stop talking about MY body in a puerile and creepy way- no, its embarrassing, disrespectful and incredibly off putting. He sounds very far from perfect.

ChubbyMummy12 · 25/01/2020 12:27

I've heard someone call it a growler...

Freezingold · 25/01/2020 12:36

He wouldn't have been in their again after he'd called mine a Mary the first time.
Grin

I agree. Standards!

Lunafortheloveogod · 25/01/2020 12:37

You need to call his dick Tiny Tim... it’s a poor soul of a thing after all Grin

There’s a big different between calling it a hairy Mary laughing than trying to make it dirty talk a cream filled Mary sounds like a weird cake from a Christian bakery Grin

BreconBeBuggered · 25/01/2020 12:38

Most slang names used by families with children to refer to female genitalia would sound a bit off-putting in a sexual context. 'Mary' was familiar enough to me as a child, but as an incomer I knew that fanny was the more common local term, though that seemed to have slightly ruder connotations to me, so maybe there's something in the W/M theory. The new girls across the road used to call theirs a Mimi, which seemed hilarious to me.
What would you prefer him to call it? Can't you just train him to use your preferred term?
