The Vagina: A Website in the Making

I have been talking about making a website devoted to the vagina for some time now.

I know that wanting to do something like that makes people believe that I am a weird person. As always, however, I have found that people just need to hear me out before they continue believing that I am some crazy person persuing a college degree (well, I am but whatev.).

I believe that knowing about the vagina is important, to males and females. The vagina is thought of as this disgusting thing that many females do not want to know about or even look at. This aspect of life is wierd to me because all around us, the male reproductive organ is alluded to or talked about in many different ways! Females do not like to talk about their vagina, however, it seems like that it is a secret club that all heterosexual males want to get into.

Did you know that women are more vulnerable to STIs/STDs than males are? Medically, this is because the vagina is an internal organ (the external part is called the vulva) where germs can grow and reproduce, thus causing harm to a female's reproductive system. Socially, I believe we should be looking at the fact that many females are afraid of their vaginas. Many do not want to get yearly Pap smears because they believe that the experinence will be invasive and just plain gross. Others are just not aware of this fact and believe that they will be ok as long as they just "keep their legs closed." What about Bacterial Vaginosis (a common reason for low birth weight), cervical cancer (it can happen to everyone!), and the regular yeast infection?

I wonder if many female consumers know that the douch is just plain bad for the vagina.

As women, I feel that we need to be informed about this essential part of our bodies! We bleed from it every month! Children are supposed to be born from it! AND we are supposed to tend to it, make it pretty and dainty for all the men who get to see it. (that was sarcasm)

That was all.

P.S.- Please read the Vagina Monolouges! The book that started my need to know about the vagina!
