> [@LSLGuy](#): > > Carpets are filthy disgusting things before and \*after \*cleaning. Adding a little steamed leftover ladyjuice isn’t going to harm your precious carpets even a smidgen. Nor render them any more anti-hygienic than they already were. I guessing you’ve never tried to get fish smell out of carpet… ---

Exactly how wide do you have to crank a vagina in order to get the steam to the cervix? Then how do you get the cervix open so it can get to the uterus? And is all of this something you want done by people who’s main qualification is that they work at a spa? ---

> [@Velocity](#): > > Sounds like the usual advice against vaginal douches - that the vagina is self-cleaning and attempts to clean it with vaginal douches can do more harm than good - might also apply to this vaginal-steaming procedure. But the steam wouldn’t even get into the vaginal canal, assuming normal vaginal elasticity or whatever the medical types would call it. I mean, she pretty much just announced to the world that having sex with her was like throwing the proverbial banana down Broadway. > [@Shodan](#): > > Fifty years ago it was an outhouse and a copy of the Sears catalog - now it’s Gwyneth freaking Paltrow holding her hoo-hah over an repurposed Stanley Steamer. Better than a Cleveland Steamer, I suppose. ---

It involves neither hips nor baths. Discuss.

You just know that someday she’s going to be dating some guy and will invite him into her bed. After all that trust and baring of souls, she’s going to look lovingly into his eyes… … and He’s going to want to do “The Banana Trick”…! :smack: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/vaginal-steaming/711388.md?page=2)
