![]() ![]() Those are the kinds of words that we use. Something juicy - there’s moisture, glistening. As somebody who looks at a lot of vaginas, that visualization has never entered my head.Ĭan you explain more about the peach analogy? It’s more the idea of something juicy, as opposed to slippery macaroni. I’d go with “juicy peach,” which is something you see a lot more of. I like the idea, but I think it’s kind of a false equivalency to say it’s like macaroni in the pot. I just finished writing a thing about the intestines being like spaghetti and your ovaries being like meatballs. I think the idea of something being really slippery … I spend a lot of time in my writing using that kind of visualization to describe things, and it’s funny because I use food a lot when I talk about the body. What did you think of “macaroni in the pot” as a descriptor for a wet vagina? I want to run some of the specific lyrics by you to see if they feel evocative and true. When it really is actually the same thing, saying, “I’m a sexy woman, and I’m responding and this is my response, just like you have your response!” I don’t find it offensive, but it’s also not that interesting, frankly. ![]() Men are constantly bragging about how hard their dicks are and how long they are, but women don’t get to brag about how wet they are. And what’s so unusual about it, of course, is that “nice” women don’t talk about this. From a gynecologic point of view, this is just talking about normal physiology, normal response. When we talk about arousal, that’s what happens to men, and this is what happens to women. And it’s as matter-of-fact as a guy talking about getting an erection. It means your body is responding in the way it’s supposed to be responding. Lauren Streicher - medical director of the Northwestern Medicine Center for Sexual Medicine and Menopause and author of Sex Rx: Hormones, Health, and Your Best Sex Ever, and also my mom’s boss - to ask about her impressions of the song, its accuracy in reflecting WAP culture, whether Shapiro’s doctor wife should have her license revoked, and whether we should be concerned about hitting that little dangly thing that swings in the back of our throats.Ĭertainly, as a gynecologist, we all know that vaginal lubrication is a good and healthy thing. After conservative commentator Ben Shapiro tweeted that his “doctor wife” had diagnosed a WAP as a dangerous medical condition, it occurred to me that it might be fun to speak to an actual medical expert in WAPs, both to weigh in on the truly idiotic discourse and to get her unique take on the song’s important message (that WAPS are great). This weekend, as I listened to “WAP” 400 times and evangelized about it to anyone who would listen, including those in my immediate biological family, I also watched it become a vessel for the banal, performative rage of sad and horny Republicans. Sonically, it is the very embodiment of filthy, delirious joy, a paean to loving your vagina so much that you must dance about it with friends and tigers in a shallow indoor pool. Lyrically, it is Shakespeare by way of Pornhub - an evocative, comedic tour de force, an enviable mastery of both tone and form. I am not afraid to declare that this song is freaking perfect. You know the part in Pulp Fiction where Uma Thurman nearly dies but then John Travolta gives her a shot of adrenaline to the heart and she wakes up gasping and screaming? This barely approximates my reaction to “WAP,” the new song from Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion, which dropped on Friday and woke me from months of pandemic-induced depressive pseudo-slumber. “Men are constantly bragging about how hard their dicks are and how long they are, but women don’t get to brag about how wet they are.”
