THE VAGINA RULES (guest post)

by 28 Comments

I’m thrilled to present the hilariously talented writer Erica Lucke Dean. Here’s her bio: 


I write romantic comedy, paranormal, and suspense novels. I blog about life and other assorted ridiculous things. And I laugh at myself when I trip.


I now present her terrifically funny post. This chick and I understand each other so well. 

The Vagina Rules
 
I was chatting with a friend the other day.   
 
We were basically having a group venting session, dredging up everything that irritates us about life, and people in general.  It felt really good to give the proverbial “stab” to the things we find annoying.  And when talking about the stuff that bugs us, the conversation always manages to come around to the topic of men…specifically husbands.
 
So this is how it went…Fake people? Stab.  Snobby people?  Stab.  Husbands?  Stab, stab, stab!!!
 
Living with a man is often enough to make a girl dream of a deserted island, a bottle of chardonnay, and a dirty romance novel. And “honey” can stay at home, thank you very much to the product like the True Pheromones which I used to make my honey stayed beside  me!
 
My friend finally summed it up by saying, “When it comes to men…honestly, I only like the sex. But I could get that without having to live with them, check this vibrating underwear guide and learn what I am talking about.”
 
Food for thought, for sure. 
 
But I had to disagree.  I like having a guy.  I just wish I didn’t have to deal with his shit.
 
For example…My husband has this really annoying habit of refusing to talk to me just because I don’t understand what he’s trying to say.  I can’t seem to drill it into his head that he needs to explain things.  I mean, really explain things.  I was like…dude, I’m a woman.  We need more words.  Lots of words.  Full sentences if you can manage it.  Hell, if you have time, draw a map.  
 
The more information the better. 
 
Did hubby get the point?  Of course not.  Instead, he gave me the cold shoulder for the rest of the evening.  
 
And he wonders why I get pissed off. 
 
What is it about guys? 
 
They say they love women.  They claim to want a woman in their lives.  But they refuse to understand the inner workings of a woman. 
 
So what’s a girl to do?
 
I just gave it to him straight.  “If you want a vagina…you have to play by the vagina’s rules.” 
 
And ladies, let’s face it…the vagina has a whole lot of rules. 
 
This vagina likes to be talked to.  And listened to.  I don’t mean gaping at me with a dazed expression and the faint sound of crickets chirping in the background.  No, I want real listening.  The kind that might even include appropriate responses from time to time.  I know you’re pretending to listen.  You know you’re pretending to listen.  Let’s just stop pretending and actually talk. 
 
It’s called a “conversation” guys.  I know…big word.  Look it up.
 
The vagina also likes attention.  But I don’t mean JUST the vagina.  You guys seem to think there’s only part of a woman that needs attention.  Trust me…that’s as far from the truth as you can get.  I know it’s a foreign concept.  I know the penis is the control center of the man. That is the reason why some women decided to tighten thier vagina so they could take control. Read more about how they did it on https://boostyourbodyhq.com – always be cautious regarding this things.
 
But like I said before…if you want a vagina you’d better figure out how it works. 
 
Think of the vagina as a sink.  It’s a broad generalization, but stay with me here.  If you want to fill a sink with water, no amount of touching the sink is going to get the job done.  You have to turn on the faucet.  The faucet is the control center. 
 
Are you still with me?
 
Find the control center in the woman.  Start with the conversation (that’s the talking part, remember?); from there, you can find your way to the other stuff.  
 
Basically, a vagina is a complex organism controlled by an even more complex organism…a woman. But trust me, if you take the time to figure it out, your life (and ours) will be a whole lot easier. If you’re suffering from yeast and bacterial vaginosis, it may be time to consider using Flower Power – boric acid suppositories to treat the symptoms.
 
So I’m sure you’re wondering how my husband responded to my list of rules.  The same way he responds to everything…in as few words as possible.  Hey, it’s all good.  For as little as he said, I’m pretty sure he got the point.  
 
A vagina has a whole lot of rules, but what it all comes down to is this…
 
Vaginas rule!

  1. Thank you, Rachel…for letting me come hang out over here and say words like “shit” and “vagina” without getting my mouth washed out with soap. 

    It was great fun!

  4. Are these rules written anywhere? Never mind, if it doesn't involve a point spread, I'm sure hubby wouldn't understand it.

  6. Are you kidding? You're great. Not many people can keep up with me — yea, that's a challenge — but you're a star, girl. When you told me your idea for the post, I said 'run with it.' 

    You rock, baby. I can't believe you blog every day AND still get your writing done. There's no way you sleep. I want to be you.

  14. We snarky females need to stick together! LOL  I'm trying to get my women's fiction (chick lit) novels published too, so it's so nice to have the chance to visit with your readers and maybe make some new friends 🙂

  15. “Hell, if you have time, draw a map.” Hysterical! You are both insanely awesome women and I LOVE following you. Okay, that would sound really weird outside of Twitterverse. Great post.

  16. Thank you! I can only speak for myself, but I'm soooo incredibly thankful to Twitter for allowing me to be safely stalked by people who think I'm funny.  Take THAT family!

  17. I sooooo agree. 😀 I married an English teacher, so he knows to talk some… but really if I don’t get it in the first round of talking there is no round two. That’s it. He says never mind, forget it, walks away. It’s done.  And I SO HATE THAT! If we don’t get it tell us what we are not getting, don’t say, ‘you just don’t get it – so forget it.’ UGH!!! Rant done. 😛

  18. It's time to give him the “vagina rules”.  I'm thinking about having a little “joke” pamphlet made up for those moments.  I'll just hand it to the hubby when he's being a guy.  LOL It could work!

  19. Bwaaaaaa-haaaaa!  Oh, the vagina rules!  Snap!  Hubby and I suffer from role reversal.  Me no talk, him want long conversation.

  21. That's funny Julia!  My husband only wants to talk to me when my favorite TV show is on.  Or I'm trying to sleep.  Or I'm in the bathroom…you get the idea. LOL

  22. Heh, Awesome!  I always tell my husband to try and remember nouns and verbs when telling me something and I'll be more likely to understand him.

  23. “Think of the vagina as a sink”   I can't agree more!  Think about it, sinks are everywhere!  In almost every house, restaurant, office building, they're freaking everywhere and they all perform the same function.  One sink is just like the next.  If I happen upon one that's broken or something, I just move on to the next sink because…they're everywhere.
    It's not a big deal to have a sink in your house, just like it's not a big deal to have a vagina.  What one one won't do, there's several more lining up to take on the heavy lifting.

  24. You're right…sinks are everywhere, but don't underestimate the importance of a nice clean sink in good working order. And the same could be said for a vagina…never underestimate the importance of a nice clean vagina in good working order. Whether you want to marry it or not, you probably don't want to end up with a staph infection or something infinitely worse.  And let's face it, if you don't want things to start falling off, you should definitely consider upgrading to something a little more complicated than what you are apparently used to if you're accustomed to just jumping from one dirty sink to the next.  That's just gross.
