A girlfriend of mine calls hers the “mustn’ttouchit” . It seems her mom used it in reference to her girly bits. Once she told us the story, it sort of caught on. Another friend calls hers the cricket. ---

I’ve been reading this thread and trying to keep an open mind, because I _like_ my girlparts and am very comfortable with them and pleased about the efficient way they go about their business, but… All I can think of is [hedgehog.](http://www.geocities.com/bunnylvr72001/Lapine_Glossary.html) And we all know the hedgehog can never be buggered at all. ---

“Yoni” makes me think both of yoghurt and fungi, so it’s not the word I would choose. The introduction to the “Vagina Monologues” says that the kids today want to call it their “power bundle” which makes me think of a big bunch of electrical flexes. The Irish word “gee” (it’s not very polite) makes me think of clarified butter (ghee), so I don’t use it either. I’m not happy with any of the words, but I’ll use whichever term seems appropriate at the time. Just like I do for male genitalia. Mostly I’ll use “me” though. In the context in which I most often need to talk about my genitalia “touch me”, “lick me”, “fuck me harder”, “come inside me” etc, it’s perfectly obvious what I mean. ---

“The Eye that Weeps Most when Best Pleas’d”\* is too long, but definitely has pizzazz. \*Thank you, Erica Jong. ---

Why not call it Mike, as in “Mike Hunt”? ---

> [@Priceguy](#): > > You nailed it. Now, when is **Johanna** popping in here to defend the vaguely spiritual pseudo-feminism we’re attacking so harshly in a typically male way? Attack the pseudo all you want, for all I care. I prefer _genuine_ feminism. I don’t know what you mean by vaguely spiritual. My feminism is _definitely_ spiritual.
