    There is a word for that, it’s pussy. Vagina doesn’t really work to describe the whole system.

      I’m fine with the word and thrilled with the thing itself, but a lot of people consider “pussy” a cuss or swear in the same manner that “dick” is. Is there a less provocative word you think covers all the bases?

          Ha! My dad called my mom his little cooter (Pseudemys genus) once while they were visiting a turtle pond. It wasn’t endearing how he’d hoped, and was a long ride home.

          I’m sold, cooter it is.

        I don’t think I’ve seen a man go “gasp Don’t call it that I hate when you call it that!” to…basically any slang term the way I’ve seen women react to “pussy.”

        Or how “pussy” is somehow a bad word that people don’t want to say, but they still think and mean it, and will either use a cat emoji or say “kitty” instead which god DAMMIT can we keep a word that just refers to the four legged mammal that meows and not your crotch, Breightleigh?
