The Story of My Vagina - A short story on the principles of a feminine teen

Just came across this beautiful article on Lailasblog and thought it is worthy to share. Read below:

There were things my mother never taught me, and the vagina was one of them. Growing up, I had little or no awareness about it, where exactly it was “down there,” and why I even had it.

The first time I ever heard about the vagina, I was in college. A female teacher had come into our all-girls class to tell us about the menstrual cycle, the female organ, and that pregnancy can happen. The lecture was not communicated in the clearest of terms but the message was that we should never let boys close to our organs.
