I've been dating a younger man 36,that made it clear that he doesn't like the look of vagina, Any vagina. OK ,I thought that to (GAY) Not the case! I'm not insecure about my vagina, I like everything about it. This was a first for me. I thought everything from, he's a closet gay to phobia. He was a good lover and wanted to please me, but he just didn't look at it or finger me. It bothered me, but not in the way that you might think. I was more bothered that he was so afraid of this gift of pleasure and that he was missing out sexually. "Fact" Sex is 95% mental 5%! physical! Men feel they are good at sex when they know they are pleasing the other person. Which then, makes them feel good about there self. So, Knowing that, I thought, this must bother him, and there must be something really holding him back in a mental way. What I learned was this, "This is very common in men!" A lot of men do not like the way the vagina looks and don't care to perform oral sex, or explore. Some will do it despite there dislikes, Out of fear of embarrassment and rejection. As I observed my own mans thoughts in this matter, I found I was obsessed with finding an answer.The conclusion I found was this, He is not from this country, even though he has been here 16 years. He was raised differant than most men in the USA. Not to say that American men have not been taught the same way. My man was raised by a mother who was subservient to her husband. His father taught him that women's vagina's are not clean. He installed in him fear, and painted an image so bad that, he is literally afraid to look at. I can only imagine the things that where installed in him as a young boy. Think hard about the things your parents might have lied to you about, to keep you from masturbating or from having sex before marriage. Example: If you jerk off you will go blind! My Mother would constantly tell me, "If I had sex before I got married, I was going to die" That's extreme! As a teenager, This was very hard for me, Because like most kids today, It happens! It did affect me. I was 18 and very vulnerable, I had been dating the same boy for 3 years and had told him NO. But one day it happened and I felt so bad, I cried the whole time, and not from pleasure! I felt so guilty, I did what I thought was the thing that would make it right, I Married him the next week. I was so in fear of repeating this act of sex, That's what I did. Don't get me wrong, I respect my mother for wanting me to do the right moral thing. she had the right intentions, She should not have taught, using fear as a tool to make your point stick. That was the way she was taught and so on. You would think that By know people would come to the conclusion that, we are imperfect and that we are sometimes going to fall short. I would have made better choices without all the pressure and guilt. I wish she had just taught me that, I should TRY to do the right things, but if you mess up, ASK FORGIVNESS AND FORGIVE YOUR SELF, And try not to do it again. So back to the subject. My boyfriend has been programed to think that the female vagina is not a good place to go, let alone eat. It's like your parent's and community constantly telling you to( Just say NO) to drugs, He's been hearing ( Just Say NO) to Vagina. So, there it is!!! In his country they eat cow tongue and brain and other parts we would get sick of just the thought of eating or even looking at. Same Thing. So ask yourself, what would it take to get you to eat cow brain? and if you didn't have to look at it, would you? My boyfriend loves it, he tried to get me to eat some. I couldn't even look at it. Sound familiar. I asked myself, how is it that he can eat this like candy and I can't see it the same way? It's in the mind!! It's going to be hard to reprogram his thinking, It may never happen! Can He express his giving and love through other means? YES! It doesn't mean he loves me less. I'm sure he is not gay either. You might be even saying to yourself, " If he loves you, he should do it for you." I love him, but I'm not eating cow brain!! Are love shouldn't be measured by what we put in are mouth, but what we put in are heart. Thank You for reading my philosophy on ugly vagina. Debra
