The Vagina Myth: Where Did It Start?

I'm not talking about the story going around that they exist.

I have it on very good authority that they actually do!

I'm referring to the famed and oft repeated tale that vaginas always ... um, er, how can I delicately put this ... um, er ...

Um, er, um, er ...

... smell like tuna!

It's one of those crazy urban legends, and they've perpetuated it out in the country, too!

Surely it's a hateful stereotype started by some gay foodie or maybe a misogynistic lobster.

It just seems so dismissive -- especially when combined with the demented story that the vajayjay looks like roast beef.

That's recklessly mixing two food groups!

Anyway, where did this totally tragic tuna tale begin and how can we end it faster than Michele Bachmann's credibility?

It really smells.

And I'm ashamed to be ignorant about my own anatomy, but, in the picture, what's that white thing projecting out at the bottom where the vagina would be? (Oh, no - does it have something to do with tuna?)

 I wish to quote from the immortal Andrews Sisters song, Hold tight, which I believe alludes to the above mentioned topic:

Hold Tight, Hold Tight

Hold Tight, Hold Tight Foo-dle-le yaki-saki

Want some seafood, Mama!

Shrimps and rice, they're very nice

Hold Tight, Hold Tight Hold Tight, Hold Tight

Foo-dle-le yaki-saki

Want some seafood mama

Shrimps and rice, they're very nice

I Like oysters, lobsters, too

I like my tasty butter fish, Foo

When I come home late at night

I get my favorite dish - fish!

A rose (bud?) by any other name...would smell.

I think this, like most stereotypes, is based in truth. I mean it's warm, wet and dark down there: why wouldn't it stink? (And I can assure you I'm NOT a misogynistic lobster)

How would gay men feel if their anus's were mentioned in such a descriptive and defamatory way?...Not kool-at ALL...Would it?!

 Fresh tuna doesn't smell.

Nor does a fresh vagina.

Surely it started before Larry Hagman licked Lauren Bacall?

You just wanted to get vagina and Michele Bachmann in google search didn't you :-)

Probably the same person who started the Richard Gere gerbil story.
