Recently I was discussing a book I am reading with some women I know. "The Vagina Monologues"I was very startled with their response to it.
Respones such as: Ewwwwwww a smut book, wow bet its pretty gross, really got me thinking.
Why is it we women can't even say the word vagina without getting creeped out? Go ahead, I dare you to say the word Vagina outloud right now. I bet that you feel a little naughty saying it.
How many men do you know who are close personal friends with their penis? Yet according to a Women's Health Clinic in Toronto, less then 50% of the women they see have even seen their own Vulva.
The Vagina Monologues is a great book. It should be read by every woman, and most men too
It truely is a Celebration of Women's Sexuality.
The monologues have been perfomoed in cities all across North America and at hundreds of University Campuses, it has inspired the grassroots movement V-Day This group works to end all Violence against Women in the world.
My daughter bought the book for me, and we read it together. It is hillarious, heart wrenching and very refreshing. A must read for everyone!
