This article isn’t helpful in the slightest,it’s more self loathing bullshit.

In regards to the readers focusing on douching – I think part of the challenge in writing is that once you put material “out there” it is open to interpretation. The important thing is you have clarified that you are not a proponent of douching. Obviously Kwegyiriba’s post went down well What I really like about your post is that you bring up the effects of sexual abuse on a woman’s sexuality and the discomfort many women feel around cunninglus

@BrownAngel – I like your resolutions – however I would say there is no need to use femcare etc to clean the outer labia…I think water should do the job just fine.

2. Taking a shower and using a gentle cleansing soap/ washes ( e.g. Femcare, Vagisil wipes, Summers eve wash and other cleansing cloths and liquids) to clear the outer labia as well as the inner labia is fine.

3. External moisture leads to a funky smell so try to keep the area dry and wear breathable panties like cotton not seiizy lace and satin ones ( we do live in Ghana after all and 8 hrs in satin can be rather stifling to the pumpum)

4. The Punany is not a dirty thing and has its own unique smell…but its smell should not be confused with the rather pungent smell that emanates from unwashed hairs in the nether regions and the sweat accumulated between the thigh and groin areas.

5. The Vajajay is delicate so do be gentle with it at al times…including what you stick into it and what you rub on or around it.
Ok so I spiced it a bit but heyy…..

At least, we have moved from your assertion that, “Your vagina does not, I repeat, does not clean itself,” to a more nuanced position on what is cleaning. Of course, no one disputes that one should practice general hygiene, but what Koshie, if I may say co-opt her views, seems to be saying makes sense to me. The manner of cleaning the vagina is important and has serious health consequences. How this impinges on a fragrant cunnilingual experience is another matter altogether.

Quelle dommage that adding to the discussion of a fine contribution might somehow be seen as detracting from its relevance and aptness.

[begin quote] “I remember spend my summer holiday in London (Lewisham, to be exact) when I was 10 and it was the first time I was allowed to go out with my older cousin, Vanessa, and her friends. Somehow they got onto the topic of douching, to which the only white girl in our group pulled a face of absolute horror, claiming, “You’re not supposed to do that- it cleans itself!”

Trust me. Your vagina does not, I repeat, does not clean itself. It is also important that you wipe yourself well after having a wee, as the little droplets may cause an unpleasant smell (yes, I know it’s hard when you’re manoeuvring not to touch the toilet seat, but it’s the truth!).” [end quote]

but i do agree with you that you have to keep your vagina clean especially the external part. Nature is not about to do that for you. You would just smell. I guess i didnt even think that, that would be something someone has to be told.

but now that that is clear i must say i agree with bout going slow. If you must rush it, then its just not going to be worth it!
