Preferred name for female genitalia

[DanaC]

That whole 'fishy' thing really pisses me off as well. As a young woman growing up I was fucking neurotic about how I may or may not smell. Because of lads constantly making references to the fishy thing (not about me...just generally about girls). Made me very uncomfortable about the whole thing. In fact I still am. I am still deeply uncomfortable about letting a guy (even one much loved) go down on me. And that is mainly because of being made to feel that way about female genitalia whilst growing up. Just the very thought that there might be an unpleasant smell (how would I know?) put me off.

Growing up as a girl, you spend an awful lot of your life being given some very strange and confusing messages. On the one hand, it would appear that the main reason lads want you is for your lady garden...on the other hand the lady garden is characterised as smelly and ridiculous.
