A rose by any other name

English is a wonderful language, but it can be lacking in it's elegance with names. This is especially true regarding a extremely important part of the female anatomy.  It is amazing that there is just no good name for such an important and powerful thing as the vagina.  The name vagina is so clinical and most of the other names are curse words.  Consider that, a curse word to describe the object that brings life into the world, whose very site captivates man and whose taste can entrance  him.

Other cultures have different names, but my favorite is the word Tantra uses, Yoni. Names are very important, they convey great meaning and call up emotions. Picture in your mind a "horseless carriage", an automobile, a motor vehicle, and a car. Each of these are the same thing, but are very different in how we see them.

Yoni is the Sanskrit word for vagina, but it is a sacred word, it is "the divine passage". The word covers a range of meanings, including: place of birth, source, origin, spring, fountain, place of rest, repository, receptacle, seat, abode, home, lair, nest, stable. In Hinduism, the yoni is the source of all that exists, the female counterpart without whom the male aspect remains impotent and void.


As you know, your yoni is a important source of power you have over your submissive male. This is why we should encourage the use of affectionate pet names but also respectful names like yoni. Teach it to your male, but make sure he gives this name the respect it deserves.
