I spent most of yesterday vomiting with a sickness bug. This thread has brought it all back.

Gay men use Muscle Mary to mean a stacked gay hunk. (or they did in San Francisco in the 70s, according to Armistead Maupin)

There was a local fb chat recently about what do your teach your toddler girl to call her vulva, and amazing number of people said to call it a ‘mary’ or a ‘mini’ (can’t remember the other couple of names that people seemed to use).

I’ve never heard of this before but apparently it’s very common. Seems to depend on regional background etc. So it’s not just your bloke being weird.

I'd put money on this 'perfect' man having a similar Madonna/Whore complex. Time will tell.. Such an overreaction. Yes , “your Mary feels so good” is a cringe thing to say, but I’m sure that there isn’t any universally accepted way of rephrasing that sentence! I imagine that his previous partner was more prudish than you OP, and preferred Mary to pussy/snatch/alternatives. At least he isn’t saying “your noo noo feels so goooood”.

Yourblogness · 25/01/2020 13:41

He is northern!

And doesn’t have girls, so possibly is referring back to childhood knowledge of vaginal nicknames.

There’s nothing wrong with cunt and/or pussy

Call his own is wormy.

Penis not own ffs.

EssentialHummus · 25/01/2020 13:43

new Grin. This thread was comedy gold anyway, but now I’ve read the rest of it in a Scouse accent and am holding back tears.

undead · 25/01/2020 13:45

My liverpoolian friend calls it hairy Mary.

BumpyNugget · 25/01/2020 13:46

“Your Mary feels so good tonight”

Maybe you could respond, "Why don't you keep your comments to yourself as I am asking you to fuck it, not review it for Trip Advisor"

Muddyfunker · 25/01/2020 13:48

Mary Hinge?

Justaboy · 25/01/2020 13:51

Mary mary quite contrary, how does your lady garden grow?

With coks 'n all, large n' small..

I'll err, get me coat;!

Hmmmwhatsthat · 25/01/2020 13:51

"Why don't you keep your comments to yourself as I am asking you to fuck it, not review it for Trip Advisor" Grin

I always thought it was specific to (some) Irish people, short for hairy mary!

WanderingMilly · 25/01/2020 13:53

Actually Mary for vagina is used in certain parts of the country, eg. east Midlands. Usually by much older people, including women, and sometimes those with an old-fashioned catholic background. So I wouldn't be too upset to be honest.....

LittleDragonGirl · 25/01/2020 13:54

Tbh even the words pussy/clunge/fanny would put me off while dtd. Sad pussy largely because I have a cat whom I regularly call pussy cat, plunge sounds weird and fanny makes me feel like a teenager again. Honestly never thought of what word would sound right in the context of dtd apart from cunt. Hmmm.. Shock

CaptainCabinets · 25/01/2020 13:55

My Nanny used to call it a ‘Mary’ Grin

This post has just made me very nostalgic about the daft things she used to say so thank you for that, at least Smile it’s little things like this make me miss her the most!

Alondra · 25/01/2020 14:04

There’s nothing wrong with cunt and/or pussy

I like pussy, I detest cunt. It's used to denigrate, offend, belittle and revile everything female. I don't accept the term from any man including my husband.

greenlobster · 25/01/2020 14:07

Strange Confused
Perhaps start referring to his penis as your little lamb?

Surplus2requirements · 25/01/2020 14:07

My sisters grew up with 'front bottoms'. Can't see that going down well while dtd Confused

Mind you it's always a bit of a tricky one in a new relationship, using the wrong word can have very disappointing consequences.

MissRabbitNeedsAHoliday · 25/01/2020 14:12

This thread is hilarious 🤣
I have never heard of Mary for a vagina before!

Givenupsmokingatlast · 25/01/2020 14:13

“Snog Mary avoid?” Might be your DH’s daily dilemma?

TatianaLarina · 25/01/2020 14:16

I tell people on the Baby Name forum that Mary is slang for vagina and they don’t believe me.

I once named an ex’s dick Mr Pink as a joke.

ballsdeep · 25/01/2020 14:26

We've known it as a Mary. A hairy mary!

ballsdeep · 25/01/2020 14:27

In my family we call it a Peggy.

TheFormidableMrsC · 25/01/2020 14:28

I think Mary is fine but I wouldn't want it referred to as that while DTD. Also, why on earth would you? Have you thought about putting a sock in his mouth?

It's mini in our house. However, I would not be referring to it as that during sex as that would be feckin weird.
