Gym changing rooms. Woman sat butt naked on vinyl type benches while she rubbed body lotion in for about 10 mins. Bare arse and foof all over furniture which others are using. Put some knickers on ffs, I don't care if you're naked but please don't rub your lady bits all over the furniture 🤮

People put their trainers on the bench…I don’t want my nice clean lady garden on outdoor muck, bottom of rucksack muck, other people’s anything!

Oh for goodness sake of course they are! Would you be happy with a penis flopping all over the bench? Thought not.

Are you trying to sound stupid. A women is built so her genitals won’t be on the bench. What is wrong with you?

I'm afraid you sound a bit silly yourself.

When you said "built so her genitals", it makes it sounds like we have evolved that way, rather than saying "our genitals don't touch the bench". I don't think bench sitting has been a strong factor in how our genitals have evolved.

Anyway, I have no idea whether I've average/normal/whatever, but I'm sitting on a wooden chair now and I know if I was naked my vulva would be on the wood.

You must be sitting in an odd position. Don’t you sit on your bottom like other people?

The craziness expressed on this thread is mind boggling!

I am sitting in a regular position. I think I sit like other people.
I am very slim if that makes a difference.
Enough from me though....TMI.

Small, widely spaced buttocks = sits directly on vulva.
Large voluminous buttocks = sits mainly on buttocks shielding precious vulva.

This thread is the gift that keeps giving and I for one am here for it.

She'll have the pattern of the bench on her bottom! Our benches are rough and slightly knobbly pattern. Maybe that's the deterrent for this sort of behaviour (like pigeon spikes on buildings)

Cattery · 11/01/2025 16:59

Ok let’s forget about the vulva/bench scenario. What bout the bare arse/bench?

I guess it depends if your actual anus comes into contact with the bench, which again will depend on size of buttocks?
Perhaps only larger bottomed women are to be accepted bare arsed on the bench?

SwingTheMonkey · 11/01/2025 19:42

I know that when I sit on my bedroom chair to put moisturiser etc on, my natural body movements mean that my bits come into contact with the chair. I’m an average sized woman - but with the manoeuvring into positions that allow me to apply cream where it needs to go, bits touch the chair. It’s my chair though so it’s ok. I wouldn’t dream of doing the same thing in a public place or even in a hotel room (for example) as god knows who’s done the same there…

And I don’t have a problem with vulvas but not everyone keeps their vulva and anus clean. Keep them to yourself.

@SabreIsMyFave she was 70+

@ilovesooty I'm hardly going to approach her and say please take your fanny off the bench.

I would have said get your fanny off the bench or put a towel down 😂🤭 Possibly a little more diplomatically, pointing out god knows what she's sitting on like PP said ,sweaty arsed leggings, dirty bags that have been on the floor & perhaps other people's foofs have been on there.

What does you allegedly being 'very slim' have to do with anything? Confused

Your vulva and arse will still be touching the bench.

What a batshit comment. 😂

Frillysweetpea · 11/01/2025 11:50

Honestly, this thread is awful. There is a lot of body hatred and an assumption that vulvas are dirty. People's hands are likely to be be carrying more germs but even that is unlikely if everyone has come from the shower. Unless a woman is menstruating there's no reason for her not to be sitting naked on a bench. Just because a woman is less inhibited than yourself and more relaxed with her nakedness does not make her an exhibitionist.

I don't want to touch - or sit in a woman's vulva juice, or where her arse crack has been ta. If that means I have ishoooes - then so be it. 😎

Edited

I stated my shape because it was suggested that I was sitting in a strange way and not like other people and that woman are built in such a way their genitals would not touch the bench (it's all the thread trail). I think if I had a larger backside maybe my vulva would not touch the chair (if I was naked). It was the main factor that would make a difference. Not really batshit IMO.

I think it’s just warming up! I’m tempted to paint my bits and sit on a bench to check if there is contact, like a potato print. I’m quite sure there would be contact, and I’m no lightweight.

Oh god yes it is grim. Years ago I was in a gym changing room and a naked woman put one leg up on a bench and inserted a tampon 🤣 I was horrified, still am 🤣🤣

So horrifying and at the same time hilarious! Some people just have no manners 😂🤮

Disturbia81 · 12/01/2025 00:32

@SabreIsMyFave I must have the same issues as you, and I'm bi!
Still don't want to be around other peoples various goo. Or see people showing off naked. We've all got to live in this world, just keep it private and be fucking hygienic.

There's a whiff of 'vaginas are filthy and gross' about this thread...

I wouldn't fancy this myself, but fgs let the woman do as she pleases with her own vulva!!! It's not going to harm you I promise.

Well I think the issue is that most of us would prefer to sit on a changing room bench without the possibility of getting someone's dried Fanny juice on us because someone can't sit on a towel.

Well sit on a towel yourself then.

And let others do as they wish.

Also, dried fanny juice? What are you, twelve?!

How on earth is that true? lots of women would be sitting on it actually depending on their shape and the bench shape. And pubic hair?

Are those that think vulvas are lovely and not dirty the same people who insist we were pants at night because we’re dripping with discharge?
