Slang, Sex, and the Female Body

Why are there so many slang terms for the vulva—and why do so many feel awkward, negative, or just plain wrong? In this episode of Labia Logic, Drs. Ashley Fuller and Meredith McClure unpack the cultural history of sex slang and how language shapes the way we think about women’s bodies. From surprising word origins to the subtle ways humor can reinforce stigma, they explore why these terms stick—and how we can shift the conversation. If you’ve ever cringed at the words we use for anatomy, this episode offers a smarter, more empowering perspective.
