A fucking snowflake
I swear vulvas have to be every bit as unique as fingerprints.
There are so many variables to them: What do the labia look like? How do they fold together? How big is the clit? Its hood? Where is everything positioned relative to its neighbors? And damned if nearly every variation I’ve seen isn’t mesmerizing.
I’ve never paid all that much attention to the actual vaginal opening before, though. Obviously I’ve paid attention to the way mine feels when something enters me, or how another woman’s feels when I slip my finger inside, but I’ve never spread the labia wide and studied the way a vaginal opening looks before. Turns out it’s absolutely fascinating.
In the past I’ve noticed by feel that there’s this little dangly bit at the bottom of my vulva. It flirts just behind the base of my labia minora, not quite peeking out. It’s almost like another little clit that mirrors the real one at the top. Feels almost like one when I play with it, too.
I finally got around to looking at it last night. I suppose I just assumed that it was a sort of diacritic to my inner labia. Not so. Not so at all.
I never noticed before how, well, ruffly my vaginal opening is. Its architecture is positively Boroque. It has its own folds and pearls; it has its own whorls and fingers. And I see exactly, precisely what it’s doing, the brilliant little cunt: It’s embellishing itself in every possible way to maximize surface area.
A simple ring of flesh would suffice, of course, but my pussy is having none of that. When a penis, a toy, a finger enters me, every knob and ruffle of my entryway strokes it, and all those extra nerves hungrily drink in the sensation.
No wonder that moment of penetration steals my breath and stops time.
Of course, this is another place where there’s tons of variety depending on whose anatomy we’re talking about. Some openings are neater than mine, and others even more embellished, no doubt. I’m not saying mine is anything special.
Except wait: it is special. That’s my whole point. My vulva is amazing. And so is yours, if you happen to have one. They all are, and every time I notice something new in one, that moment unfolds a universe. It’s almost, almost enough to make me believe that there’s a creator, and that s/he considers physical pleasure a profound virtue.


The fluffy bit is probably your hymen. Have you ever read The Guide to Getting it On? Turns out hymens aren’t “popped” like most people think they are – hormones after puberty make it wear away and become more flexible, so for most adult women it ends up as scalloped skin folds at the back of the vaginal opening. Any bleeding that happens during the first penetrative sex is more likely to be because there wasn’t enough lubrication than from “popping the cherry.” The Guide has more detailed info and neat line drawings, if you’re interested (besides being a good sex guide all around).

@MinervaB I had no idea! That’s so cool!
MM…. snowflakes! I, too, love how deliciously different people are… labia, clits, vaginal openings, cock heads, balls, nipples, lips, eyes… ya i’m a sucker.
“My vulva is amazing. And so is yours..” AWESOMENESS! I just might have to quote you on that.
@Evey Baby, you can quote me anytime.
I love the art you found for this one!
