I think that this topic is actually rather important. To me, there seems to be a lot of shame related to sexuality.

For instance, I am embarrassed by my body. I hate the thought, the words, the sounds, scents ~ you name it ~ I hate it! It all brings on a feeling of deep shame and disgust. When I hear others put a woman's body down (or magnify it's beauty), my shame is reinforced. There are WAY to many harsh jokes out there, which have the same effect on me.

I just can't help but wonder if other women feel the exact same as I do, and therefore put a lot of distance between themselves and physical reality. Yes, there are vaginal odors. Some good, some bad. Discharge is normal. Menstruation is normal and is a good thing for those who want to have children someday ~ it means that they're healthy enough to have a baby. These are realities. Vaginal diseases are also common ~ just like heart, lung, celiac, etc. disease. There should not be shame associated with the vagina....but, there is. Just curious how common that shame is.
