What do YOU call your Vagina / Vulva ?

Ladies please tell us what do YOU call your vagina?

Vagina, Pussy, mound or whatever else.

To me Pussy has a sexy ring to it. Vagina is too text book and mound sounds like someones buried there. Of course slit is just dirty in a good hot way.

My wife usually refers to her twat.

I guessed you were from California, but I when I saw your profile I saw you were from Washington, so I picked the correct coast.

I LIKE the words twat and cunt, but for some reason twat seems to be more in west coast usage and cunt is more down under from what I have seen.

Vagina, Puss, Slit, Hole. It depends on the situation and the other people involved in the discussion.

Pussy

Slit, Lady Parts, naughty parts...

It is a pussy when we are all nice and loving and I am licking on it, and it is a cunt when she is down on all fours with her ass in the air crying fuck me harder....

I have a pussy - sometimes, recently, I have also referred to it as a twat. But twat - that was from years ago, maybe back in high school.

I would NEVER use Oprah's word, vajayjay. It's just fucking stupid.

If you are an adult on television, you should use the correct term, vagina, not an asinine word you make up because some idiot prude might be shocked hearing it.

I hate baby-talk.

I'm not especially happy with the word "twat" and not that crazy about "cunt" either. I have to agree that "vagina" is too clinical and Oprah's terms is sort of just dumb in my opinion. For me "pussy" has a certain whimsical sound, which is not a bad thing since it is a fun part of my body, and "pink parts" is pretty descriptive.

My wife is from Alabama. I hadn't heard "twat" much at all since college in NY, until I met her 4 years ago.

I agree with emom that "twat" and "cunt" sound more vulgar. I also prefer "pussy"...

Most females I know use "vagina" in public. The women I've had sex with who used "vagina" seem to change it up to "pussy" when they are in bed. Guess it depends on the mood.

When I attended the North Avenue Trade School in Atlanta Georgia there was a slogan by the students of Agnes Scott in Decatur Georgia; "I am a twddely twat from Agnes Scott". Nobody seemed to mind the reference then.......going back I would like to do that again. Those twats made for a lot of fun for both sides.

Cunt and twat sound more vulgar, but remember, that's just your conditioning when you hear the words. Twat isn't used much in NY at all. I have heard it used much more in California.

Pussy does have a sweet gentle sound.

Depends on the situation honestly. Vagina is clinical and honestly only refers to the internal bits. Any other time I mold to the people I am talking to and will bounce around with pussy, mound, and twat. Pussy being my favorite.

I have heard women use the term "snapper" in a light hearted sense.

Terms like "axe gash" are definitely in the realm for men.

When I was a teenager guys used to call it the bearded clam. The girls would call penises one eyed bird. I find the word twat if somebody called me that very offensive

Susie, cunt is actually quite a taboo word down under and very rarely heard. But I have a new one that nobody has mentioned. In Australia the ladies often refer to their "map of Tasmania". Have a look at it and you will understand why!

Partridge's "Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English" (1951) says that "cunt" goes back to Middle English and is related to Latin "cunnus". It has been avoided in polite speech since the 15th century owing to its powerful nature. Partridge, himself, replaced the vowel with an asterisk. He also has entries related to "cunny." Incidentally, the Oxford English Dictionary does not have it even as "c*nt"--it just does not exist.

@Johnl : Check this out I think you may like this, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcoreV10hI8. Map of Tasmania ! Here is my input on this, it depends on where you are from and your christen back ground. In most black communities the girls from age 7 to 18 call theirs vajay jay. This is done so out of respect of there alders and not because Oprah said so. What Oprah did was bring it out in to the light but she did not give the back ground on why she calls hers vajay jay. Most black females give there pussy a name like Candy or Patty. It's a funny thing my wife is white and she has three sister's when ever she talks to them about female things the word is Vagina, But here at home behind closed doors the word is Pussy. Come on people let's keep this real. How romantic is the words cunt, twat or Poonannie or does it all really just come down to the mood at the time ?

Not that I'm the most literary person in the world, but, in Voltaire's "Candide," the woman's name was Cunegunde.

I actually refer to mine, with a lover, as pussy. If said right it is sexy. If I am talking to someone else I may refer to it as my down there or vagina.

Susie--of course, you are right about her name, and by implication of what it means.

I've been traveling lately and have missed such good threads.

I've heard the kids call it the V-Zone lately, I had no idea what Oprah called it or that she coined the term vajayjay.

I'm naturally inclined to call it my cunt and have used that word with several lovers, who were all feminists like me, so we said it very appreciatively. "I want you in my cunt", "fuck my cunt", "my cunt is so wet" are all phrases I remember hearing from past lovers fondly. To which I usually said something like "I'm gonna slide my fist into that sweet cunt of yours."

I've been called a puta on the street, which is a crude Spanish term. I have a couple of friends with rough edges and they call their vagina a "gash" or their "snatch". I actually find snatch funny, but gash seems a bit crude.

I refer to mine as pussy. Just like how that sounds as opposed to anything else.

If I'm talking to my doctor, it is my vagina. With my husband it is my pussy. One sounds clinical and the other sounds sort of sexy. The other words in vogue are a turnoff for me although I do know what they are.

My husband makes me say pussy because it used to really embarrass me.

This should be obvious but technically, the word "vagina" only refers to what Samuel L Jackson in Pulp Fiction calls "the holiest of holies." Vagina is Latin for "sheath." People just mistakenly use the word "vagina" to include the vulva as well as the vagina. As Ploughhorse points out, the "mound" is the area above and in front of the vulva.

So these are actually three different things, not three different words for the same thing.

Out of the words vagina, pussy and mound, "pussy" is the only one that incorporates the entire area. The word "pussy" is therefore usually more accurate than the other two choices given in the original post, but pussy is still technically a slang term and may not feel like the most polite word for some people to use in certain situations. So they just say "vagina," apparently because it is catchier than saying "vulva."

A term that seems to have disappeared from the lingo is "box". I recall what I think was a sort of west coast "cool" as talking about a girl's "box".
