I don't know why people ask me this, but I've always just shrugged and gone 'dunno'...
But yesterday it dawned on me... I mean, think about it, there's loads of words for penis: dick, cock, willy, todger, dong etc. and pretty much any word could be a euphemism for 'penis' if it's in context and you're in a stupid enough mood.
But what are the words for vagina? Pussy, gash... they're such unpleasant words. You don't get parents talking to their kids about 'gash', but they always use words like 'willy'.
And I think I've figured out why...
Guys like penises. It's a fact; guys like talking about dicks, and also guys like talking about sex. I'm just generalising here, but when I am with my guy mates the subject always comes round to various genitalia... Doesn't help the fact that my group use 'gash' as a word for 'bad'.. like.. 'That lecture was gash' etc.
So many words crop up for penises...
Some also like talking about 'pussy' and 'gash'- but usually used in a 'huh huh huh pussy huh huh huh gash' way, not in a casual throwaway context like 'cock' is used.
Girls don't generally talk to their friends about vaginas. You don't get girls comparing in the communal showers! Maybe this is why there are so many slang words for breasts instead? Whereas vaginas are either called just that, or talked about in hushed terms such as 'parts' and 'down there'. Maybe it's that the female of the species is just more mature, or doesn't like bringing up the subject with her friends? Because who wants to hear about it, really?
That's just my theory... anyone got any other ideas?
