Women, do you find your pussies beautiful?

[legerdemer]

Perhaps the OP could have worded his question a bit more diplomatically, but it is a valid question to women. ....

So, for all the inquiring authors who have related question as to the self images that populate the minds of the distaff sex can we explore that territory?

I, for one, didn't mind the question... just didn't particularly feel like answering at the time. I must be in need of more displacement activity now than then.

1. Were you brought up to feel shame about your genitalia?

Not shame, but extreme modesty (as in, genitalia are to be kept covered at all times). Although, one thing that I find silly in the US is the covering up of young kids - little girls two to six, seven years old wearing both bikini tops and bottoms is silly; covering the vagina makes sense to keep sand out to sensitive areas, but bikini tops? seriously! - in natural contexts such as the beach.

2. Did you ever get over it? If so, when and how?

I have gotten less modest over time, thankfully. I have been through periods of time when I've been more or less at home in my body, and even thought it a very nice body. But looking at your own vulva as a female is a serious pain in the ass and, at least until the advent of face-forward cameras on phones, took too much work. So once I got over the curiosity of what I looked like, I didn't really need to do it again.

I do not find my - or any other's - genitalia either particularly beautiful nor ugly, in particular the most graphic, close-up images. I find female genitalia interesting, and evocative, inasmuch as an image stands in for intercourse and the feelings I have during sex. On the other hand, I find the right kinds of images of two (and possibly more) people enjoying each other's genitals quite erotic.

Hmmm. Probably not the answer jehoram or JL were looking for.

If one asks a question, one should be looking for an honest answer, not a preconceived one. Your answer is fine, leger. I will admit, though, that I find genitalia, in all its diversity, beautiful. Did draw illustrations for my Anthropology of Sex class, and the students did appreciate seeing the variations and enjoying the aesthetics of the forms. The Dean, however, asked me to stop drawing clitorises on the blackboard; penises, apparently, were ok. The old double-standard reared its ugly head again.

If you were drawing them using live models, I could see the problem. From memory, however?

(Perhaps you could demonstrate...? )

I think the best way for a woman to enjoy looking at her own genitalia, is using a large mirror to look at. Lying back comfortably and angled right, it affords a view that for most, made masturbation intensely arousing. Unlike faces, that isn't really brought about what is actually pretty to look at. As a man, I find them all uniquely beautiful, as is the woman who has it.

Great song!!

Actually, it was exactly the answer I was looking for. Thanks for your candor.

And I agree that it's all about the context. Close-up shots of genitalia, male or female, don't interest me. I need to see the eyes, the smile, the face, the whole person. Otherwise, it's just meat.

No J, you are wrong. It is never ' just meat.'

 

[jehoram]

That and I tend to think that way of any guy running around with a dangling cock in his av.

Is this one better for you?

I have had the opposite experience. Most men would never claim their own or any man's genitalia were beautiful, whereas many women I have been with are quite proud of their pussies. My generation were all brought up to think that sex and cocks and pussies were dirty, then came the sexual revolution of the sixties and boy did we revolt. I attended sessions in which women were taught to examine their own pussies with mirrors.

I learned that my hard-ons were beautiful things, not shameful ones, and that a cock with a foreskin was more beautiful than one that had been ritually mutilated, not the reverse. Hoorah. For our sexual revolution!
