Seeing the lovely Jacinta spreading her butterfly wings set me thinking about what one might term vulvic aesthetics. Do forum members have any preferences? Are you able to say one pussy is more beautiful than another?
(For myself, I find vulvas of all different 'styles' beautiful - and I use that word advisedly as the online dictionary defines beautiful as: - 'Having qualities that delight the senses, especially the sense of sight.')
In most aspects of human appearance, there are ideals. These are dependent on one's culture, so for example, the fleshy women of Rubens' paintings were as much exempla of 'beauty' at the time he lived, as the women in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition (say) are today. Obviously, individual tastes vary - I prefer women who are less blonde (generally), less tanned (unless naturally dark-skinned), and less 'airbrushed' to the magazine ideal, but still I can recognise that our culture would class the magazine model as beautiful.
However, there are no cultural standards as to what comprises a beautiful vulva (I'm disregarding issues like presence or absence of hair and concentrating on the flesh itself). There aren't many, I guess for penises, but I presume 'big but not too big' might be the one obvious one (and Americans seem to have a preference for those that have been ritually mutilated!), but the poor vulva, less seen even than the cock, which at least gets to dangle about outside, lacks any terms of reference at all.
In fact, there isn't even much in the way of standard vocabulary to describe female genitals (beyond the bare anatomical terms). Everyone has a mental image of the difference between curly and straight hair, most can distinguish between a snub nose, a button nose, a roman nose etc. but when we talk about labia (for example), do people get a strong mental image that allows them to picture, say, 'meaty lips' (to quote from the fetish page). And if lips are not 'meaty', what is the standard term for non-meatiness?
I recall seeing a TV programme a good few years back that featured an American sexologist who divided up vulvas (vulvae?) into several different types dependent on shape etc. which he (or she, I can't remember) named after different animals - I think 'deer' and 'horse' were two of them. The terminology was supposedly borrowed from a Native American people. I tried to find some info on this with a Google search, and couldn't turn anything up, but I did find some other informative pages, a few of which did at least give a little info to deal with this taxonomical issue. This page, for example, is quite detailed on anatomy and includes some drawings by feminist sexologist Betty Dodson showing several of the infinite varieties of pussy shape (scroll down about two thirds of the way for the pics).
So, as this is a site where many visitors are keen vulvic aestheticians, post your preferences (if you have them). Big or small, prominent or secretive clitorises? Fat crinkly inner lips that protrude thtough the outer labia, or neat little vertical Mona Lisa smiles? Pastel pink, rose red, or tawny brown colouration? Feel more than free to post examples from among Abby's models (or elsewhere) of what you like or what leaves you cold (remembering to be respectful to the models, of course) and of what terms you would use to describe particular styles of pussy.
