Do you think "coochie" is sexy? Well maybe it is just an American thing and I have not heard it said in my country.Around the turn of the 20th century, before the Great War, there was a big thing about 'belly-dancing'. I believe that it was shown in several World Exhibitions around that time in connection with Colonial Pride Exhibitions (they weren't called that of course but that is what they were, PR for the colonies). Anyway, the recreation of a Cairo street was a big hit, as well as the dance performance by Little Egypt. Those dances were called 'hoochie-coochie' or some variant thereof, maybe also a 'nautch' dance which was said to originate in British India.All were thought to be sexually provocative, maybe a sort of seduction on the part of the dancers.So I would guess that coochie derived from those dances or maybe they were given that name because of prior use of the word 'coochie' or 'goochie'.I am pretty certain that 'dancing the hootchy-coo' or 'hootchie-cootchie' was never a vulgar term. Maybe a bit risqué or perhaps too working-class, a tad vulgar, but not lewd. I can't pinpoint any instances but it sounds like a term that would turn up in an Abbott & Costello movie perhaps ...
Talking about vaginas, here's an article about someone for whom it didn't work out so well:http://www.alternet.org/news-amp-politics/watch-art-teacher-says-she-was-fired-using-word-vagina?akid=14205.1089244.dAPON6&rd=1&src=newsletter1055435&t=20

I personally don't like the term "beaver" because I like real beavers. They are very sweet, smart, and hard-working animals and have the cutest babies (called kits) that make adorable squeaky noises!Mom and kits: http://joannekennedy.net/p550027500/h20db065a#h20db065aKit picture and beaver facts: http://old.beyond-main-street.org/fauna/americanbeaver.htmlBaby beaver pictorial!: https://www.buzzfeed.com/kaelintully/spooty-spoothead-spootyguy-king-of-the-spoots?utm_term=.mcemPOmb0#.de5dOydZpTherefore, I don't like it when I say "I LOVE beavers" and people laugh, and when others search for beavers online and get pictures of naked women with ample pubic hair. (Nothing wrong with that, as long as you're expecting it!)But to get back to the question: If I talk about my vagina *in* the bedroom, I usually use the word "pussy" because it's standard dirty talk. (I don't really like it though, and I also don't like the new trend of calling the vagina "kitty" for the same reasons I don't like "beaver".) If I'm referring to it in any other context, I generally use "twat" as in "I'm going to the twat doctor today at 2", mostly because I think it's funny.
My fe friend referred to it as the party house. Depending on that time of the month, the party house could be open or closed. She was very open about her comments.
If you need to think of more, here's a list:http://www.zity.biz/index.php?mx=forum;ox=display;msg=755636
I've never been on great terms with my vagina. Anything most people use theirs for, I do anally.Now that it's menstruating years are over, I just call it the wasted space in front that make me go to my gyno once a year.
My cousin called hers taco or tamale when we were little. My niece calls it pinpinchina (pronounced peen pin shee nah)
I just think the medical terms are just kind of gross sounding. I never have liked the sounds of them for guys or girls. Coochie is kind of cute sounding (sorry, I never saw the replies on my earlier post). A nurse at my doctors office called it a hoo-ha, which is amusing as well. When I was little, it was referred to as a Monkey (don't ask me why, but I think it's a family thing since my cousins refer to it as that as well). I know the proper terminology for my body parts, but I don't like the sounds of them.
A vagina. That is what it is, so that is what I call it.In the middle of sex with your boyfriend, do you say, "come eat my vagina" or "come eat my pussy?"
I call mine 'ginger slide' or 'ginger smile' and my husband has shortened that up to 'Ginger'. 😃 When he gets aroused or is testing the waters he will ask me, 'How's Ginger?' 😈 And I get the idea and ask him if he wants to make 'Ginger' smile or maybe play on the 'ginger slide.' 😁But 'pussy' is a term I hear the most from just about everyone else I know. Ginger is more or less my husband's and my pet name for my pussy and we use it when we want to let each other know we are interested.'Ginger says, 'Hi!' 😈
Oh no please do not tell us you use that word.Amethyst, I agree!See what I had to say a few years ago:https://www.zity.biz/index.php?mx=forum;ox=display;msg=628291
You are right @SwitchableSusie it is Oprah's fault for saying it. It is a bit like men calling their genitals "junk". That is stupid too.
I hate the words cunt and twat , it instantly spoils the mood for me. Me saying, “Oh baby I love when you lick my vulva like that," just doesn't cut it for me either. Pussy is sweet and sexy...just like the real thing.
I hate the words cunt and twat , it instantly spoils the mood for me. Me saying, “Oh baby I love when you lick my vulva like that," just doesn't cut it for me either. Pussy is sweet and sexy...just like the real thing.The good thing about pussy is that it refers to both the external anatomy (vulva) and internal anatomy (vagina).The same can be said for cunt and twat.
There's a difference between using a casual term for a body part during a serious conversation, such as a talk show, and using it in the bedroom. It would have been quite inappropriate for Oprah to use the term pussy or cunt on TV. Not understanding that distinction is stupid.People have different terms they use playfully and if it works for them, it's all good. If someone calls my vajay jay a "cunt," I immediately dry up like the desert, but I'm not so closed minded as to think it's stupid to use that term if both parties like it.I think some terms are humorous just because they are childhood playground terms, like "love tunnel." I can't imagine an adult using that term lol. It reminds me of an age when we were discovering the use of our body parts and thought we were pretty creative and original with things like love tunnel. To now realize how silly it sounded.
Thank you for your support and open-mindedness. I'm just beginning to explore this site and get a feel for the "personality" of it. It does seem out of place that member of a site about a specific area of kink would be so judgemental and unwelcomming to thoughts different than their own.I'll have to see how things go.I belong to some forums where we discuss (sometimes argue) important issues of politics, social change, ethics, etc. I expect that tone and judgementalism in those forums. I was surprised to find it here and am sorry you've experienced the same.I've had valid criticisms made of my position on various matters, but rarely are my views considered "stupid." I suppose that says more about the person making the comment than it does me.
In normal conversations vagina. Pussy in sex. I'm as creative as a rock.Cunt is a word I use frequently, but as an insult (or observation of a person) and twat just reminds me of 'The Inbetweeners'. I really hate them both when used to refer to a vagina.
The title is what do YOU call your vagina. Take ownership of your pussys and call it what ever the fu*k you like. There is no wrong answer.I personally don't like to refer it to by "cute" names and my girls were taught that they have a vagina. But if someone wants to call it their flower, minky or cunt it's up to them.I like seeing what others are using whether i woul personally use it or not.
