vagina

[freakkai.livejournal.com]

I bet you're worried. I was worried. That’s why I began this piece. I was worried about vaginas. I was worried about what we think about vaginas, and even more worried about what we don't think about vaginas. I was worried about my own vagina. I needed context of other vaginas-a community of vaginas. there's so much darkness and secrecy surrounding them-like the Bermuda triangle. nobody ever reports back from there. --- the vagina monologues by Eve Ensler

thank god for the vagina monologues, and this community rocks my socks

the vagina monologues are a must read. or see, the performance is delicious, and the book is wonderful as well. I read the book in one night. and I’m sure many of you know about Eve Ensler and her work. I adore it ^_^

I think we need to talk a bit more about our vaginas and how wondrous they are in this community rather then mainly talking about birthcontrol. though it is very vagina related, id just be happy to see a variety of posts

I have a vagina. I like it well enough. But I must admit I have penus envy.... Boys' thingys do stuff... they grow, they move. And most importantly, boys can pee standing up. That's my biggest beef.... I want to be able to pee standing up. Yeah, supposedly some girls can pee standing up. I'm not too sure on how much I believe this fact. I'm not talking about squatting... I can squat like anyone else. But standing! Now that's a feat. Boys can pee their name in the snow. I want some sort of directional apparatus! But yeah, other than that, I guess the vagina's alright.

Well, some guys have got vagina envy. Regardless of how useful our penises are, they are not a beautiful creation. I've heard them described as resembling "A chicken with it's head cut off", and aside from all the blood, the beak, and eyes, it rather looks more like the cut-off head of a chicken.
The vagina though, is a beautiful thing (usually, some are not, I would argue, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder I suppose, and looks can be deceiving). That's why Georgia O'Keefe painted flowers that looked so much like one, its a work of art.

What good is art if you can't pee your name in the snow with it? ;)

Q&A 7. Can females write their name in the snow with the TravelMate? Yes.

That's SO on my Christmas list!

Okay, so it's good for MAKING art, whether it's in the snow or on the wall next to the urinal - the difference is owning a paintbrush and some paints, versus owning a picasso.

haha that's cute :)

It takes a bit of practice but it is possible to pee standing up, without squatting. http://www.restrooms.org/standing.html (scroll down a little ways)

Also, vaginas grow and move. They expand when you get turned on, they get wet, they can push out babies, they're really strong. I can push a tampon all the way out just using my vagina muscles. Some women have female ejaculations.

*jaw drops*

You can push out a tampon? Wow! That's talent!

And shoot! I'm glad you sent me instructions to peeing standing up! I think I'll start practicing tonight =)

[fairis.livejournal.com]

waahoo!

Nice! I love Eve Ensler. And I love The Vagina Monologues. I've read. I've watched the DVD. Though I haven't been live. When the show was being performed here, I was out of town. It upset me. Anyway. I started memorising My Angry Vagina (you know, "my vagina's angry, it is. it's pissed off and wants to talk...") but then my friend borrowed my book, read it, passed it on, then he read it, passed it on, and I think that the vagina-love passing on-ness is far more important than me memorising a piece, you know?

Sometimes I get upset with all the posts in here because they seem to just go on and on with "something is wrong with my vagina, HELP!" and stuff. Very rarely do I see a vagina-praise dedicated post, and that upsets me. Though I haven't really made a post here about that either, so... I guess I'm part of the problem. I've seen your post about the sea sponges. I'm very interesting in that. You should email me (ketchonade@hotmail.com) or instant message me on aol (choochooketchoo), I'd like to talk about sea sponges and vaginas in general with you, hmm?

Also, a lot of my friends call me cunt in the empowered sense. I love it. Good to see another with the same nickname.

:D :D :D :D i added you, though i usually have my computer on and im not always at the computer, so it may take me a while to relize someone's talking to me. talk to you then.... ^_^

Now all we have to do is convince Eve that vaginas don't have hair on them, so she can use different words when she discusses shaving. :)

heh.

i pee on my self sometimes

[freakkai.livejournal.com]

its soooo WONDERFUL live! you have to see it live ^_^

penis envy eh? well i wish i could stand up and pee as well, i hate having to squat, my hands hurt when i put my weight rocky ground, and i can't aim worth shit! sometimes i pee on my pants, or it runs down hill and gets on my shoes! then i laugh...and complain.

but i would never ever trade my cunt in for a penis.

and yeah, eve makes that mistake, silly girl. vulvas have hair not vaginas.

I've seen the Vagina Monologues live three times. The second time I went with friends, and one walked out crying. She had never seen her vagina. Never touched it, never examined it. I was shocked. Needless to say, she fixed that rather quickly.

I would see the Vagina Monologues three more times if I could. Its phenomenal every single time.

i've seen the vagina monologues once.. last february, at the community college. the monologue about the woman from bosnia almost made me cry. and that's the college version.

i'd love to see eve perform it. i'd probably cry my eyes out.
