Document Summary
As we grow older, we learn new words from our peer that describe our sexual anatomy and behavior, but quite often these are slang terms. Men are more likely than women to use slang terms when referring to genitalia. Both men and women are likely to have a negative opinion of those wo use sexually degrading terms for female genitals. People who take courses in human sexuality often end up using the proper terms more frequently. Many people are so ashamed of their genitals that they do not consider their genital to be a positive part of their anatomy: this is more often true of women than men. Consists of the mons veneris, labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, and the vaginal and urethral openings. Refers to the soft layer of fatty tissue overlaying the area where the pubic bones come together. Considered to be very erotic after puberty when it becomes covered with hair.
