Up Close to 'Down There'

Unlike men, women didn't grow up with much familiarity with their private parts. 'Down there' may have been as close as they ever got to naming that region of the body. It's not unusual for females to find their vulvas unattractive and actually feel shame and disgust about their genitalia. They worry about their normal secretions and whether they have a bad smell. Is it any wonder that there are women who are uncomfortable with their partner getting up close and personal with that part of their body?

There are men, too, who are a little leery about going down on their partner. They may worry about the taste and the smell and find the mysteries of the vulva a little daunting. They may not trust their skills in navigating the labia and the clitoris and providing the right kind of stimulation.

I'll post tomorrow on tips for getting past the discomfort.
