Get To Know Your Vagina
Hot-pocket, baby maker, vertical smile, love box, cookie, kitty kat, flower, “slice of heaven”, cockpit, ponchita, coochie, noochie, pandora’s box, wizard sleeves….p***y. Whichever name you decide to title it, I’m pretty sure if you’ re reading this, you own one (well about 90% of you). It is the first gift you ever received, given to you before birth and before general life on the planet. It’s presence controls the colors you wore as a baby, the activities you had as a child, the way you were allowed to sit as a teen, the way that you think as lady, and your place in society as a woman. Yes dear, that coochie is the center of greatness to all the beautiful wonders of the earth. The average man thinks about kitty kat every five seconds. As women who have 100% ownership over this greatness, I don’t believe that we think about it enough…or talk about it. But to keep your mind from cringing from every nickname throughout this post, her name today is Queenie, which is also a nickname of the love below but its a lot more appropriate and it fits, ya know? ;)
Sight: The sight of Queenie has changed over time. Not her general appearance, she will always look the same, but her style. It seems like over the course of the century, we have went from being full, blown and proud to waxing it all off, Mr. Miyagi. Hair generally grows the most in areas that need to be protected…your head for your brain, your armpits for your lymph nodes, your eyelashes to sweep away dust, dirt, and particles from getting in your eyes, and your private area to protect your genitals from harm and bacteria. This human adaption protection is also the reason your hair down below grows thicker during pregnancy, to protect the little one. Don’t be alarmed when this happens. It has been stated that removing your hair could affect your protection. But we are now more protected with clothing (panties), so we are not as exposed as our cave ladies. But back to our Miyagi phenomenon, if this is something you choose to do, find the method that’s best for you. Some women just shave and some women like waxing. Understand your pros and cons for each method. If you decide to head to the waxing studios, google some reviews to get a general rating on the services. Personally, I wouldn’t attend anything below 4 stars. If its something that is new to you, make sure you receive services from someone who can properly educate you on what they are doing, the risks, the benefits, and how to take care of yourself for the services. Think about your budget and stick to your budget. Kimberly points out in her posting “Tuesday Tea with Kimberly” for May 10th the expenses you can save per month by going to Do It Yourself Salon. Sally Hansen (Walmart) has a great, low cost waxing line and offers coupons in the box for future purchases. Believe it or not, you CAN wax yourself but PLEASE read and follow the directions. FYI, ¾ of men prefer a “landing strip” (or a little something) over going completely bald. If you aren’t with the noise, please understand you don’t have to do anything. There is nothing wrong with leaving it how it is naturally. What is most comfortable for you is what is most important.
Smell: WORLD PREMIER STATEMENT… (because everyone in the world is going to hear it)…Every Queenie has a smell…and every Queenie is SUPPOSE to have a smell. I use the term “smell” compared to the general term of “odor” used in some medical books. When a girl thinks of an “odor”, you think of something negative and/or unhealthy. No ladies, there is nothing negative about this natural “smell”. This smell comes from the natural bacteria in the vagina that regulates the health of your vagina…the supervisor of your moisture balance, the agent that kills outside, harmful intruders, and helping hands that cluster semen into semi- solid balls to hold sperm in the vagina to reach the egg. Yeah, don’t knock its hustle. In our cave lady days, this same smell is what attracted men to mate with women. And according to some VERY ACCREDITABLE MEN, it is still a turn on. Yes ma’am, this smell has been all good since day one.
Touch: Hi! If I haven’t told you before my major in college was Sociology: Gender and Sexuality. In school, I studied and produced a number of research papers on “psycho- sexual” issues. One thing I do remember hearing and discussing is the fact that a majority of women will deny receiving oral sex (smh) based on their subconscious feelings of the appearance of Queenie. But some years down the road, I remembered hearing something else as well: Men are more concerned with the feel/touch of Queenie rather than how she appears. When you think of sex, what is something you remember the most about it? Hopefully, nothing that turned you off or the odd sound he (or she) decided to make. You remember how it felt. I am here to reassure you that the touch and feels goes a longer way.
Taste: -devilish grin- You are what you eat.(No pun intended) Ever wonder why someone who consumes a lot of alcohol smells like alcohol? The oils and smells (or “odors”) that you sweat from your pores comes from the things that you consume in your body. This works the same way with Queenie. Consumption of foods with high amounts of yeast and sugars can begin to reflect down below. The healthy bacteria that you naturally produce can help balance out the intake of yeast to fight off infections but you should watch your diet. A good diet with YOGURT can keep Queenie healthy. Yogurt contains natural bacteria that keeps Queenie balanced and keeps your generally body healthy. People who eat yogurt religiously are generally sick less often and have less yeast/bacteria infections than the average person who does not. There is a second agent and it may not taste as great but its better for you and Queenie: whole wheat…..pasta, bread, noodles, etc. Whole wheat is a more natural wheat that is not bleached like white bread, light pasta, or ramen noodles, which contain high amounts of yeast. Overall, whole wheat is not only better for a healthier Queenie, its better for your overall health and weight. How does this relate to taste? Women who have a healthier diet and consume less yeast have a better tasting Queenie.-wink-
Sound: Stand by what your mama told you. You have to have a gyno and you have to have check ups, especially if you are sexually active. Wrap it up, whether you are single, dating or even IN A RELATIONSHIP. I’m not trying to say that monogamy is dead but sexual transmitted diseases are starting to appear more in relationships. If you are both tested individuals who are healthy and you are in a honest and loyal relationship,yes you are safe but that doesn’t guarantee you are 100% safe. I’m not trying to scare you but I want you to be aware. Protect the Queen.
