Vagina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Holy crap. I read this whole thing twice and there’s absolutely nothing here about Tumblr photos that made you want to masturbate.
Probably vandalism. Stupid teenagers.
This was funny but, as both a lover of female genitalia and a vocabulary purist, the conflation of female genitalia with “vagina” drives me crazy. I do not see many, if any, pictures of vaginas on Tumblr but I do see some of vulvas. (Maybe I’m just visiting the wrong sites.)
Girls have a lot of neglected-to-be-commonly/publicly-identified parts (including my personal favorite, the vestibule) and vagina is among the least readily visible but most often named. If anything, observers of a nude girl see a vaginal opening—and only then if her labia are open or spread. But sans a speculum or serious gaping, an onlooker is not seeing the vagina proper any more than looking at someone’s smile provides a view of their larynx.
