A new study shows how women refer to their genitals is linked to their self image and overall sexual pleasure. Now, new research suggests that the same principle applies to how women talk about their genitals: the nastier they dirty talk, the happier they are in bed and with their bodies. The key throughline: the words women use to self-describe their genitals matter, a lot. Specifically, the researchers found evidence that the words women use to refer to their genitals are linked to self-image, sexual and health-related well-being. Interestingly, using the word ‘pussy’ in sexual contexts was associated with greater sexual pleasure and more frequent orgasms.
