So, I suppose it's time to clear up some new Internet mayhem that's brewing. First, don't make yogurt with your vagina. That is not what it is for. At all. I have long extolled the taste and texture of eating pussy. But only if it is pussy that is all-natural.
That means not putting anything in it or spraying anything on it (the vulva, that is, in the latter case. Again, it bears repeating: the vagina is the inside, the vulva is the outside.) This also means not collecting the secretions and using them to make food.
I don't get it. I really don't. What's next? Snot sundaes? Pee porridge? Feces and fennel? Spit soup?
The vaginal canal is designed primarily for semen to travel in, should one want to create a baby, for menstrual fluid to leave the body and for a baby to travel out. Period. That's all. The rest are just party tricks, and creating food product in it or from its secretions is not only foolishness, it is also potentially dangerous. Why? Because what is collected could be not only lactobacilli. It could also be additional bacteria, pathogenic bacteria.
Making yogurt from your vagina is a party trick, and the pussy is not a toy. The pussy is a wonder. It can produce incredible orgasms with remarkable health benefits. It can bring a baby from the womb to the world. It brings pleasure and life, not breakfast.
Speaking of party tricks. Vaginas also do not need to weight lift. At all. But apparently, not everyone got that memo.
Yes, Kegels are your friend and there are weights designed specifically to be inserted into your vagina in order to strengthen those muscles. You can also just contract and release. Try it now. I am.
But the vagina does not -- I repeat -- does not, under ANY circumstances, need to lift surfboards. Or tropical fruits. Or cold-pressed juices. Or gluten-free, organic donuts. Yes, those are real examples. From this entirely-too-real article.
This makes women looks ridiculous. Likes props. Once again, like objects for male pleasure. Need proof? Go to Insta and check out #ThingsILiftWithMyVagina.
This game has a name, of course, Vaginal Kung Fu. It claims to connect women to their pussies and their power. Go to a BodySex workshop. Go to Women Positive Burlesque. Read Camille Paglia. Masturbate. Do your Kegels. For God's sake, just put a mirror between your legs and get to know the goods.
But you don't need "ejaculate that shoots across the room." Trust me. Unless you are in the industry. In which case, hone your trade. But for us regular girls. No such party tricks are necessary.
You can call me hyper pussy protective because I'm a lesbian, and a true lover of pussies. That may be true. But no matter who you are, you have a reason to protect the sanctity of the almighty pussy. Trust me. If you are a man who wants to have great sex with a woman, you want a woman who is fully connected to her pussy power. If you are a woman who wants to have great sex partnered or alone, straight or gay, pussy power should be paramount to you. This is a mental and physical health issue. Pussy's are not for parlor games or food production.
It's getting out of hand. All of it. Women are so disconnected from their bodies. They don't masturbate enough. They don't advocate for themselves in the bedroom. They are squeamish about too many things when it comes to their bodies. Not all women, of course. But too many.
If we are ever going to really love our bodies, we have to first respect and honor them. We are beautiful and we are strong. We are emotional and we are brilliant. We are sexy and we are maternal. And we have pussies that belong to us that are our pleasure -- and power -- centers. No photo op or viral blog is worth humiliating and dishonoring ourselves, which is exactly what is going on here.
Want some attention on the Internet? Get an adorable pet, or leave a waitstaff person a HUGE tip.
Women are not playthings. Pussies are not for party tricks. It is hard enough to be taken seriously as a sexually empowered woman. This shit is not helping. Cut it out.

Megan Fox
AP
In a 2011 Esquire interview, Megan Fox confirmed her bisexuality, stating, "I think people are born bisexual and then make subconscious choices based on the pressures of society. I have no question in my mind about being bisexual. But I'm also a hypocrite: I would never date a girl who was bisexual, because that means they also sleep with men, and men are so dirty that I'd never want to sleep with a girl who had slept with a man."
Billie Joe Armstrong
AP
The Green Day front man opened up about his sexuality in a 1995 interview with The Advocate: "I think I've always been bisexual. I mean, it's something that I've always been interested in. I think everybody kind of fantasizes about the same sex. I think people are born bisexual, and it's just that our parents and society kind of veer us off into this feeling of 'Oh, I can't.' They say it's taboo. It's ingrained in our heads that it's bad, when it's not bad at all. It's a very beautiful thing."
Clive Davis
AP
Twice-married record executive and music mogul Clive Davis came out as bisexual in his 2013 memoir, The Soundtrack Of My Life. Davis opened up about two long-term relationships he had with men after his divorce from his second wife.
Anna Paquin

Anna Paquin is adamantly open about her bisexuality. The actress
told "Zooey" magazine in a 2009 interview, "For me, it’s not really an issue because I’m someone who believes being bisexual is actually a thing. It’s not made up. It’s not a lack of decision."
Megan Mullally
AP
After telling The Advocate in 1999 that she was bisexual, Mullally clarified her statements in an
interview with Queerty, telling the blog: "I said that I thought that everybody is innately bisexual. I think there are different levels of awareness attached to that, so I may believe that everybody is innately bisexual, but somebody who is very homophobic may not see that quality in themselves in any way, shape or form. That’s on a very philosophical or even metaphysical level, you know what I mean? It’s not something that I think people are ready for yet. I think if you ask the average guy on the street if he was innately bisexual, he’d be like, ‘What the fuck are you talking about?’ and then he’d punch you in the face. So, we’re not quite there."
Azealia Banks

The rapper has been
openly bisexual since the early days of her career: "I mean, I'm bisexual, so it makes sense. But I don't want to be that girl who says all gays necessarily hang out together, of course! I have people say to me, 'Oh wow, my friend is gay, too,' and I'm like, 'Yeah, so?'"
Andy Dick

Many people mistakenly assume that Andy Dick identifies as gay. However, he told
The Washington Post in a 2006 interview that, "just because I've been with guys, and I'm bi, doesn't mean I'm gay."
Bai Ling

Actress Bai Ling is openly bisexual -- and the identity category has often provided some humorous mix-ups involving her first name. According to GLAAD, she discussed it in-depth in a 2009 interview with Entertainment Weekly: "[A]t first when I was in the United States I didn't always have an interpreter in interviews and I didn't speak English so well. There was some confusion. My name is pronounced 'bi,' so when I was asked, 'Are you bi?' I said, 'Yes, I am Bai.' Do you like men? 'Of course!' Do you like women? 'Why yes!' And later I found out what that means and I said, 'Sure, I am bi!' But I think the interpreters and the reporters thought that I didn't know what I was saying because I was so open about it. They were uncomfortable about it. Such a thing is not important for me."
Carrie Brownstein
AP
The "Portlandia" star and former guitarist and vocalist for Sleater-Kinney is often assumed to identify as gay. However, she told "Willamette Week" in 2012 that, "It’s weird, because no one’s actually ever asked me. People just always assume, like, you’re this or that. It’s like, ‘OK. I’m bisexual.’”
David Bowie

Though David Bowie has historically played coy surrounding his sexuality, he clarified the subject in
a 1976 interview with "Playboy." "It's true -- I am a bisexual. But I can't deny that I've used that fact very well. I suppose it's the best thing that ever happened to me."
Snooki
AP
The always-polarizing Snooki sat down with
The Huffington Post in February 2012 and sought to clarify her sexual preference. "I would consider myself bi. I've done stuff with girls before. But I would never be with a girl because I like... penis. But I've experimented."

Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie has been open about her sexuality for quite some time, having had numerous encounters and relationships with women. She

Evan Rachel Wood

Evan Rachel Wood
came out on Twitter in 2012: “I myself am bisexual and have always ‘joked’ about Miley giving me gay vibes. Not a bad thing! Just an observation.”

Drew Barrymore originally came out in
an interview in Contact Magazine in 2003, saying, "Do I like women sexually? Yeah, I do. Totally. I have always considered myself bisexual... I love a woman's body. I think a woman and a woman together are beautiful, just as a man and a woman together are beautiful. Being with a woman is like exploring your own body, but through someone else."

an interview with The Advocate: "Q: After you discussed past sexual experiences with women in an interview with 'The Sun' in May, headlines everywhere read, 'Fergie Admits She’s Bisexual!' A: The funny thing is that I was very open and honest about that from the very beginning, and everyone was acting like it was some new trend. Go back four or five years, people, and you’ll see the same answer."
Pete Townshend

Who I Am: A Memoir by Pete Townshend, this musician

several reality shows centered around identifying as bisexual, beginning with "A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila." She was also the girlfriend of Casey Johnson, the Johnson & Johnson heiress,
who passed away in 2010.
Amber Rose

Amber Rose has long been perceived to be openly bisexual without actually addressing the way she identifies. In an interview with Complex magazine, the model
sought to clarify the rumors: "They label me a bisexual freak stripper that fucks Kanye on a daily basis. To answer that: I’m extremely open with my sexuality. I can be in love with a woman, I can be in love with a man. I’m not into bestiality, but as far as humans go, I definitely find beauty in everybody, whether they’re heavy-set, super-skinny, if they’re white, black, Indian, Asian, Spanish. I can see beauty in anybody. I’m not into threesomes or orgies and shit like that. If I see a women and I think she’s beautiful and I like her, and she likes me back we can definitely try to be in a relationship together."
Jillian Michaels

The first lady to ever come out in "Lady's Home Journal" as bisexual, "Biggest Loser" coach and personal trainer Jillian Michaels
told the magazine in 2010: “Let’s just say I believe in healthy love. If I fall in love with a woman, that’s awesome. If I fall in love with a man, that’s awesome. As long as you fall in love… it’s like organic food. I only eat healthy food, and I only want healthy love!”
Kim Zolciak

Former "Real Housewives Of Atlanta" star Kim Zolciak was in public relationships with both the mysterious "Big Poppa" and DJ Tracy Young before marrying Kroy Biermann. In a 2010 interview with Life & Style,
interviewers posed the following question for the reality queen: "Q: Do you feel you're giving a voice to other bisexual parents? A: I'm among the millions of parents who have been in a gay or lesbian relationship. It hasn't been an easy road lately, but I feel there are no mistakes in my life. Everything happens for a reason. To have the opportunity to speak for myself and to have people understand what I'm going through is really special. I myself was confused and scared at first. Being able to speak from my heart and get this all out, it's a huge relief for me."
