It's All About The Vagina

I have never laughed throughout any performance as much as I did tonight.

The Vagina Monologues is an excellent play that is currently showing in Glasgow. It was the perfect girls' nite out, as you should have realised that all females have something in common, ie, the vagina. The whole theatre was filled with women and probably only less than 10 men....hehe.

The show began with the usual request for the audience to switch off their handphones. However, at the end of the sentence, the speaker cheekily added, "You can turn on the vibration mode instead."

Basically, the show was performed 3 celebrity females, who took turn to read out monologues (based on interviews conducted worldwide) about interesting facts and stories about the vagina. It was hilarious. The first part began with them telling us about the various terms used instead of the word "vagina," such as, the monkey box, the love garden, the marshmellow, the horse spot, or maneater. There was a funny story about an elderly lady who had never had an orgasm ever in her life.

I enjoyed the monologues titled, "Because He Liked to Look At It" and "The Woman Who Likes to Make Vaginas Happy." The first one was about a woman who doesn't really like her own vagina. However, one day, she ended up sleeping with a man named Bob, who told her that he needed to look at her before sex. She said, "Oh, I'm here." But Bob was actually interested in looking at her vagina before sex. He was so amazed at with the vagina that it turned him on, not the woman. haha. The latter was about an ex-lawyer who enjoyed to make people "moan". Well, not the kind of moaning one would expect in the court...but the moan of an orgasm. It is really difficult to explain the story, but it was really fantastic.

Oh....did I mention about the "Vagina Happy Fact" or "The Clit Fact?" =P This was the fact:

" The clitoris is an organ created for pleasure. It has 8000 nerve fibres, which is more than those at the fingertips, lips, tongue and twice as many as the penis! "

(ps. the word 'tongue' must be said with life, because, you wouldn't want a limp tongue touching your clit)

hehe...so at any point during the show, if someone shouts, "Clit Fact," everyone would start to repeat this statement.

After a short 15 minute interval, one of the performers said, "Oh, my vagina managed to get a cup of tea....in fact, I've managed to dunk a HobNob into it too." The other performer said, "My vagina got a fag." It's all about the vagina!

There was also a part of the show where women were asked how they would like to dress up their vagina. One of the replies were, "Armani only." The other part that I found really funny was the part called "My Vagina is Angry." Here, the performer talked about various things unpleasant things that could happen to the vagina, such as a trip to the gynaecology/obstertric clinic. The speculum used to look at the cervix was called "duck clips." hmm...don't think I can have a straight face the next time I perform a cervical examination....hehe.

Towards the end of the performance, one of the performer talked about the different kind of moans who can make during an orgasm....hehe...this was really really funny. There was the and of course, doggie moan, the It girl moan, the NED moan, the Tina Turner moan, the Nearly There moan and the triple phase moan. The last moan, I have to say, was amazing. The performer actually acted out an orgasm (3 different ones one after another)....she was so natural on stage and ended the whole thing by saying, "I get to do this 6 times a week." haha....she was brilliant.

The Vagina Monologues was a really superb show...I highly recommend it to all females and brave men. haha. I have never heard anyone talking about their vaginas so openly until tonight!
