As an american woman I dont take offense to it being implied us americans are prudes....we are and we know it. Hell I blush at most of the TV shows and commercials other countries show, I was just raised not to speak of such things in public. Or at all really. First time I attempted phone sex with my b/f I would call my nether regions any of those words you mentioned. I called it "down there" and my boobs "my...you knows". Its just how I was raised, to be a "lady" and not say such crude and course things. Not saying people who do arent "ladies"....but at least here in america they wouldnt be seen as such.

I'm an American and I say "crude and course" things without blushing all the time. If that causes others not to see me as a "lady" so be it. _____________________

And I am the opposite end of the spectrum. I have no problem embarrassing those around me with my gutter mind and blunt speech. I also have no problem dragging my male friends and my husband into the nearest Victoria's Secret just to watch them sputter red faced for a bit. Well, all except my husband.. he's now immune to my tactics. Just as well, I guess. I can boldly say vagina, boobs, tits, breasts, penis.. and without doing any more giggling than necessary when seeing the faces around me. I was once told that I look so sweet and innocent. Until I open my mouth, at which point, I can and will put a sailor to shame. _____________________

I call it "down there" and I am a female.

I like using more "proper" terms as a general rule. It's not being a prudish at all. I can talk like a sailor when the time is right, but that's my point. I like to save the "crude" words for when I need that extra emphasis. If they fall into daily usage I feel they lose their impact. It's almost like losing an entire word to me.

And you get the feeling Sir (or Madam) Jig of the Most Holier than Thou Order of the Eternal and Entitled Troll is sitting back on Its collective haunches, straining across it's huge belly to clap its hands in glee at the twitterpations it has caused in it's fulfillment of the Troll Principals, starting inane topics, then playing "Let's you and Him Fight, and I"ll cheer you both on from the sidelines"....

Will someone (me, probably) please tell the men who masquerade as women that REAL women do not speak like they think we do. And if some REAL women are compounding the issue by being coy and constantly going "hehehe" - well ... please don't. I am really getting pissed off by the coquesttish smarmimess of some "women" who flounce and twirl like they have just stepped out of a Jane Austen novel. It's 2008 for F***'s sake, not 1798! A couple of women I met at a skin sale could NOT refer to their pubic hair as pubic hair - they had to say "down there, hehehe" - I mean, honestly ...!!!! Call it pubes, pussy or whatever but NOT "down there." I hate "hehehe". Sorry, I just came from a skin sale in sl which was embarrassing to stand in. It was so saccharine I had to leave before I upchucked. Phew! Got that off my chest - oops sorry, tits! Most likely they were young girls........... _____________________

I haven't said "down there" since I was twelve.
I do say hehehe a lot. Kinda like hahaha only with 'e' in it. I'm even guilty of saying Tee hee hee, albeit sarcastically. Something I do generally find dumb (in spite of the fact that I use it) is LOL or ROFL or even ROFLMAO. Worse yet, is LOLOLOL with exclamation marks. While I've certainly laughed out loud at some of the antics in SL (the most recent Starbucks coffee cup battle comes to mind) I am more likely to quietly titter "hehehe" than to laugh out loud. And NEVER, to my knowledge, even while excessively inebriated (just sayin') have I rolled on the floor laughing over something I've seen on my viewscreen. So leave me my hehehe. I have a bona fide "down there" and I'm entitled to as many hehehe's as I want. _____________________

Sorry to report, I posted a gif animation representing the phrase "jumped the shark". It means your fifth thread started today to elict general discussion has pushed things into the realm of overkill for me. I have a lot of random musings too, but in my opinion, they rarely merit their own thread. Why bother answering then? *** Actually if my sister was playing she'd be all coy. She blushes when she has to refer to her "boobs" and drops to a whisper. How we are related baffles me on this point. _____________________

You mean they don't *all* carry pinatas around?  jeeeeeez.... I think everyone should always carry pinatas about. The world would be a better place, if needing to recycle an awful lot of paper. _____________________

I taught my children the proper terms for all body parts when they were very young, along with all of the information on who is allowed to touch what under what conditions. You wrote a TOS for your kids? |

My favorite thing is when people bother to write "why bother". It's called human nature to react to something and then since this is a forum, to post a reply about it. The Fonz is waving to you, during his acrobatic act of selling out. It adds so much value to the debate, does it not? No. _____________________

Hey Cherry... i'm an American woman and i use the word "pussy" to refer to "down-there", unless of course a reference to pubes is needed in the presence of my parents. Then i’m afraid its “down-there” but hey, who would do otherwise? But no, i don’t add a “hehehe”, not even for my daddy! Get me really, really angry and i’ll even out swear my husband too! American female doesn’t always equal prude.
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Just my 2 cents worth and please don’t bother with the change please!  Actually, that sounds like you might have met some RL women. Possibly Americans. |

Umm ... Why is this addressed to me sweetie? I didn't start the thread, didn't make any comments about Americans (which is just as well as my partner is American) and I actually agreed that an awful lot of women ARE coy. I am too in the right circumstances but they are very special ones which make me speechless (and I live for those moments ).So, sort of baffled why this was directed to me personally! Unless you were saying hi, in which case hi! _____________________

I taught my children the proper terms for all body parts when they were very young, along with all of the information on who is allowed to touch what under what conditions. I firmly believe that our American prudish attitude that results in sex and our bodies being taboo topics plays a very large part in the high sexual crime rate that we have. Granted there are terms that can be considered crude and might be best not said in certain company, but there is nothing wrong or vulger with using the proper terms when refering to a penis or vagina. Penis makes me giggle. Always has, always will. _____________________
