Pussy Pride!!

Yesterday I  watched Youtubers, Bria and Chrissy's "Gay Men Touch Vagina  For the First Time." video. Having previously watched their video of the polar opposite experience, I must say I was not disappointed. The video itself was funny, genuine and on my end enlightening. I found it interesting, that people responded in such an uproar to a woman sharing her vagina with men who would know nothing about it otherwise, but we're perfectly OK with a man sharing his penis with women who wouldn't know about it otherwise. It prompted me to think, well analyze. Penises are greeted with open arms when shown. Whereas, vaginas are faced with a sense of shame. Most phallic symbols, are standards for power and authority. While vaginas are depicted as fragile, soft or delicate. It also hit me, that aside from the way Western Civilization has always portrayed female and male genitalia, modern day women have a strong barrier between themselves and their bodies. Manifested, in the form of vaginal insecurity. A large percentage of the women apart of modern society ( myself included up until fairly recently) believe that their vagina is ugly, or that it doesn't look how it's "supposed to". My vaginal insecurity stemmed from young, when the woman that I idolized most in the world, aptly brought to my attention that my vagina was "weird" and looked "nothing like hers." Before that, moment I never really paid much attention to my vagina. I was probably all of seven at the time, and all I knew about it was that boys didn't have one and I used mine to pee. As time, (and hormones) went on my vaginal insecurity only grew. I can recall the first time I ever watched porn as a teen, seeing vaginas galore and mentally noting that mine didn't look like any of those either. My vaginal insecurity was one of the reasons why I struggled with being a bisexual at first. I can remember realizing I was attracted to girls as well as guys, and kind of feeling depressed because I thought Damn, not only do I have to worry about guys judging my vagina but what if I get a girlfriend and hers is prettier than mine? My vaginal insecurity affected the way I lost my virginity, as well as how I had sex for like two years afterward. It wasn't until after I became old enough to drink that realized I truly had nothing to be ashamed of. No two vaginas look like. Not even on identical twins. No one's vagina is "supposed to" look like anything. There is no guide to the perfect pussy. Every pussy on every woman is beautiful. Don't let any man or other woman tell you differently. It is so important to wholeheartedly love yourself. And I personally wish I'd had gotten to know my vagina more before I let someone else touch it. I would have had such a better understanding of myself. I would have been kinder and more loving and accepting of what I had otherwised deemed an atrocity and something that was "made incorrectly." It is perfectly normal to feel funny about your vagina at first, that's a part of growing up. But as you do so, it is imperative to get to know your vagina, be knowledgeable be aware of what your vagina looks like, how it smells, its level of self lubrication. Treat your pussy how you would treat the love of your life, because that's essentially what it is. If you don't make it your business to know how your vagina works, then you never know if something is physically and internally out of whack. And that is so important. Too many women, and young teens walk around with STI's, unaware because they never bothered to get to know their vagina. Seriously, do not be ashamed. Touch your pussy, feel all your folds, be able to differentiate your urethra from your vaginal opening. Feel the accordion-like walls. Get close to your clitoris. (It's quite lovely, trust me). Respect the little hood that keeps it safe. Take a picture, get a mirror do whatever you have to do so you can know itself better than any sexual partner you will ever have. Vaginas are beautiful, all of them. It's like one of the gay guys in Bria and Chrissy's  video said, "Vagina's are like personalities, every one is different." There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Think about it this way, if no woman is exactly the same as any other woman, why the hell should our pussies be?
