He refers to my vagina as my “Mary”

Mary

MARY

AIBU to cut my losses and run? 🤔

Oh I'm cringing.

I have heard Mary in childhood I think it's a common slang term in some areas with the older generation anyway.

Definitely not a term to use for an adult woman and especially not when referencing sex. Yuck.

emmylousings · 25/01/2020 15:29

You need to give him an alternative OP! We have settled on 'clunge' (yes, as in Jason from The Inbetweeners) because it's not crass like the 'c' word, or 1970's like 'pussy' or cringingly twee, or indeed 'vagina' which might be the correct term but sounds too..... anatomical!

usernamerisnotavailable · 25/01/2020 15:30

How often do you actually talk about your vagina Mary?

corcaithecat · 25/01/2020 15:32

Nowt wrong with Mary.
I quite like it and much prefer it to more coarse words like cunt, fanny etc.

sunshinesupermum · 25/01/2020 15:32

I don't think Mary is so bad. But I would have to call his Joseph.

LOVE this!

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

I read this as 'Pete the penis has a curtain ring to it...'.

I had always assumed it was rhyming slang... Mary Ann...

Whynosnowyet · 25/01/2020 15:35

Maybe he is a skinflint and won't buy a cock ring. Uses a curtain ring instead and it gets stuck!!

I'd be concerned why Mary didn't feel so good every night.

Maybe he often gets distracted by the proposed pedestrianisation of Norwich city centre and finds it difficult to concentrate on sensory matters.

Luckystar777 · 25/01/2020 15:48

Huh?! Confused

What like, Virgin Mary? Confused

SandAndSea · 25/01/2020 15:49

Please call his penis, Gracey. Let us know how it goes.

holte · 25/01/2020 16:13

I used to go out with a girl who referred to it as Mary (which was what her Mum called it growing up). She was from Essex but her parents originally from 'oop North.

At the risk of confusing the thread my Mum used to refer to my penis as Bob when I was a child.

MrsRagnarLothbrok · 25/01/2020 16:30

nothing wrong with calling it a Mary I guess, but everything wrong with calling it Mary while dtd.

Used to call an ex's knob Pink Pete I was young, it seemed funny but never while dtd more in "is pink pete polished and ready to come out tonight"

Never let it get wet!

Or feed it after midnight...

steff13 · 25/01/2020 16:42

It's weird and off-putting. If he has trouble saying something less weird, perhaps he could just not talk during sex? It's not a requirement. Or he could say "you feel so good" or whatever.

OhBigHairyBollocks · 25/01/2020 16:56

This thread is pure gold.

I still haven't got over Tiddles 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

myidentitymycrisis · 25/01/2020 16:59

call his penis his Jesus?

Happyhusband · 25/01/2020 17:06

Is a hairy Mary? A scary Mary? A sharey Mary? Could be worse it could be Doris.

Mummyoflittledragon · 25/01/2020 17:22

Ewww. Southerner here. Never heard of it. What a turn off. Show him the pepper pig wriggly worm video for reference of how you feel about him calling your vagina a Mary.

Qwerty543 · 25/01/2020 17:49

It's a northern thing. My nothern friend also calls it a Mary.

JacquesHammer · 25/01/2020 17:54

The north is a big place, I’m a Northerner and I’ve not heard it!

PigletJohn · 25/01/2020 18:12

You must of course tell him what you prefer it to be called.

There is a good chance your favourite name will be silly, or twee, or terribly coarse. But you can't expect him to guess.

FordPrefect42 · 25/01/2020 18:45

On a side note, imagine being called Mary Warner.

Zoflorabore · 25/01/2020 18:46

My friends ex used to call hers Growler Grin

SuperMeerkat · 25/01/2020 18:49

@Yourblogness I reckon you just don’t like him that much. DH has loads of stupid nicknames for mine (vaj/minky etc) but cos I rather like him I just laugh it off 😆
