this amusing graphic set me off again
I'm quite fond of my dick. My cock. My penis. My closest female friends tell me that they're happy with their pussies. Their cunts. Their vaginas.
Using slang words for genitals and sex acts is an age-old practice. Each culture creates its own vocabulary and unspoken rules for using these words. I'm sure a linguist-anthropologist could provide us with many fascinating examples. Families have differing standards about using sex slang as cursing. Most of us feel that children are better off not getting barraged with such language. Some feel that it's "talking dirty." Others, like me, feel that it's sending a decidedly negative message about the child's yet-to-bloom sexuality.
The 1950's all-American moms and dads, as portrayed on TV screens across the nation, somehow managed to bear children, though they clearly slept in two separate twin beds. And even when the censors allowed two people (of opposite gender, of course) to "go to bed" together, it was lights out and fade to black.
Somehow the idea of foreplay and erotic speaking and enough light to really see one another was relegated to pornography--- with foreplay and sexy language rarely making an appearance. Just lots of light for those old film cameras. The woman in me totally gets how boring and banal most porn is.
My penis, your vagina or penis, what would we do without them? First, they help us expel toxins from our bodies. For women, they are quite useful when it's time to menstruate. They are the main way we reproduce, in and out. And whether we're babies or teens or adults, they are sensitive, exquisite pleasure centers.
So when you hear one guy calling another guy a pussy, your brain simply doesn't tune in to the fact that being a coward has nothing to do with what a vagina does. But, hey, we get the message. And if someone calls me a total dick, I guess I'm not supposed to take that as the compliment it is. I mean, who wouldn't want to be flexible and useful and creative and lots of fun? I really could make the same case for being quite glad about my asshole, but enough for today.
May your pussies be furry and warm and strokable. And may your cocks be up and at 'em at the crack of dawn. What a beautiful world we live in!
