Why are so many girls grossed out by their own vaginas?

The Vagina. Beautiful. Natural. Functional. How is it that so many girls describe it, and its daily operations, as GROSS?!? Meanwhile, the guys they want to love them, worship the very same Vagina? I don't get it. Girls, please explain why you are so hostile towards your own Vaginas. Thanks!

I'm definitely in the "I <3 Vagina!" camp, but that's to be expected as I'm a guy. We get to enjoy the benefits, without having to deal with the "care and maintenance". Penises are less maintenance, but subject to performance failures at the worst times!

I love the "I love my vagina!" comments. I'm saddened by the "vagina's are gross" comments. Trying to understand what causes the difference in attitude. Parents? Education? Experience? Guys?

  • i actually think my vagina is pretty sexy lol I'm serious..

    • please post the picture of it to me, thanks :)

    • no, I'm saving that for my future husband :p

    • The most the future husband gets is a picture, it's the way of god.

  • i heart mine

  • So many opinions !

  • I used to feel this way for the longest time ever, and swore I'd never, ever let a man eat me out, and then once I had a boyfriend I liked enough to lose my V card to him, he begged and begged to go down on me, I finally let him, and he was so grateful to me, and honestly, it was a bigger treat for him than it was for me! He always raved about how I had the most perfect, tightest, wettest, pinkest, most delicious p**** he'd ever found, and I started to agree with him after a while. Now, I have no problems getting a full Brazilian wax, because I know it's a beautiful body part, and every guy since that boyfriend has raved the same way about my vagina.

    Big shout-out and many thanks to the OP, and other guys like that who make women feel proud of their beautiful vulvae! Ladies, you are beautiful, every part of you!

  • I love mine (:

  • cause its really ugly

  • I think they are kinda ugly, but I don't hate it. I think having a penis would be more fun to use, though. The "V" has performance failures too -- she doesn't always work the way we want, and she is lots of work to keep pretty for you boys. And sometimes she is hungry and we don't want to feed her junk food! Whereas a "P" is a party tool for all occasions!

  • I'm indifferent. It's just a body part. Like my hair, arms, nose. But I can understand how people, especially girls think they're gross. I mean, you try shedding the lining of your penis every month, bleeding and hurting like a mofo for a week. It's pretty beautiful.

  • We're subtly socialized that our sexual organs are dirty and shameful. I used to be grossed out by my vagina when I was younger because I didn't know any better but now I'm not. Why be ashamed of it and grossed out? I was born with one and I'm supposed to have one.

  • i like my vagina , I think its pretty. well if I don't love it who will ?

  • Really? I love my vagina! It looks like a flower! (as do most of them..)

    But I feel self conscious about it. Sometimes I feel like my boyfriends is disgusted with it. He says he loves it but I think he's just being sweet. I always wonder what he really thinks though.

    • I'm sure he can't get enough of it, which should tell you just how much he loves it!

    • Yeah, but sometimes I get conscious of how it tastes or smells or... --I'm telling you a lot! Ha!

    • Have you tried to touch, taste, smell your vagina? Where are these feelings of self-consciousness originating from? Did someone say or do something to make you feel this way? You can talk. I'm listening. Thanks!

  • I love my vagina!

  • A woman's vagina, although a handy tool for sex and reproduction, in every day life can be a royal pain. Grooming and upkeep alone are annoying hassles. And the vagina is also prone to infection because of its dampness and overall delicateness. And yes. The vagina IS a delicate organ. Jamming objects or unwashed hands up there is just asking for a UTI or worse. And of course, there's a woman's menstrual cycle. Not only do your insides feel like your uterus turned a blender on, physically, just seeing yourself bleeding is pretty unnerving. Ontop of all this, a woman's vagina doesn't smell like anything else. If you keep clean and washed, you'll maintain your body's natural smell. But this odd odor also contributes to why girls find their sex organ so "gross."

    • Brilliant answer :P

  • i've never called my vagina gross...ever. not sure where you're getting this statement from

  • ive never described it as gross myself but an ex was really against giving oral sex because he found it 'gross' and sadly that was my first ever boyfriend and it kinda stuck with me. my current partner thinks differently but I still feel that same insecurity, and even though I know he means what he says its not easy to feel comfortable about it.

  • Like @Juliana7 said I don't think and we don't think our vaginas are gross. We have no problem talking about them and a lot of us don't say it's gross. Our vaginas are like our trademark and our boobs are too. We love and take care of our vaginas. We think it's beautiful and natural and our trademark.
