Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy: The Adventures of Mr. Wu or The Hidden Sex Scene

I can't even believe I'm doing this but I guess someone has to do it. Recently, I was re-watching Tinker Tailor, my new favorite. I got curious about the ditty, Mr Wu. It's so fun to listen to and seemed a quirky choice for the scene. So, I looked up the background and lyrics:

Mr. Wu no longer has a laundry. Sad to say the business was flop.

He shouted 'what a hope' as he chewed a bar of soap

And then put up the shutters of the shop.

Said Mr. Wu, ""What shall I do?"" and Mr. Wu's a window cleaner now.

The laundry, it didn't pay.

Now there's no clean collars down Limehouse Way.

When he goes out working, interest he arouses

Polishing the windows with worn-out ladies blouses.

He wears a pair of Cami nicks to save his Sunday trousers

Cos Mr. Wu's a window cleaner now.

Now little Chinese wifie each day is getting madder,

Tearing her silk stockings, her husband makes her sadder.

All day long he wants to keep on running up the ladder

'Cos Mr. Wu's a window cleaner now.

He had his eyesight tested, a most important matter.

Through a bathroom window, a lady he peeps at her

His eyesight's getting better but his nose is getting flatter

'Cos Mr. Wu's a window cleaner now.

Said Mr.Wu ""What Shall I do?"" And Mr Wu's a window cleaner now.

The laundry it didn't pay. Now there's no clean collars down Limehouse Way.

Translation: Poor Mr Wu, the laundry cleaner loses his job, so he keeps the local ladies company. Basically, he's having sex; a lot of sex, against windows everywhere. Still stunned about the lyrics, I'm watching the scene and suddenly realize that gearbox, was, I BELIEVE a euphemism for a lady's love box. It just all snowballed from there. So, here's how it goes...

Peter Guillam shows up at the Registry. As the sign says, All Items Must Be Checked In. Alwyn asks Peter for his chit. "I'll need your Chit, sir. New rules."

There are many terms for Chit, but the one that fit the scene most accurately is..'A pert or sassy young woman'.

Then, he's got to slide past Sal.

Finally, Peter makes it to the window-filled file room, and begins to peruse the 'files'.

Oops! Mustn't get caught.

Right then, Mr Wu kicks in. It's on!

I figured that File would be some sort of slang.

I was not prepared.

Below is a link to a page with slangs for File. There are several contenders, but I'm pretty sure the last one is the winner. 😂

So, just as Peter Guillam is taking a firm grip on his file, he's interrupted with some bad news, and by this time, vajayjays are just flying.

Miss Eavesdropper just had to tap her foot.

Fact: A lady's shoe is Victorian slang for vajayjay.

Peter finds out his 'Gearbox is busted. No!

So, he has to stop filing, takes back the 'bag' he came in with and leave. Better luck, next time, Peter.

Bonus is Guillam breaking the 4th wall upon realizing someone heard (saw) him!

So, there you have it. I'm taking this one on the chin. It's too damn funny. I was gasping. That many euphemisms in one scene is not logistically possible. Think I like Mr Wu even more, now. Benedict, don't be mad. I think these fools just leveled you up on the Hottie list.

[science-fiction-is-real]

Hey this is true for your pussy too. Your vajayjay does not need to be cleaned, and any soap, chemical, deodorant, or douche you add will disrupt your natural flora and make you smell WORSE in the long run!!! Nothing but a very gentle unscented soap on your vulva.

[incrediblesweatermachine]

washed my vajayjay area too hard and now it stings a little bit. grow up get some thicker skin like its just some soap

anon ask about feeling insecure about your lady bits down there

this is really personal and i’m not sure how to even approach this lmao. but lately i’ve been worried about the way my ʷᵒᵐᵃⁿʰᵒᵒᵈ smells or even looks. i know that there are so many different sizes, shapes, everything. and there’s no specific way it should look, right? but sometimes i get self conscious of how i smell down there (even though no ones going down there except me) and worry something is wrong. i feel self conscious of the way it looks like is mine the only one that looks like this? is that supposed to be there? it makes me feel like i’m not taking proper care of myself. have you ever felt that way or what’s your take on it? i know you’re not a gynecologist haha but i’m not comfortable talking to anybody around me about this. and even though no one on here really knows you, it feels like a safe space here talking to you and asking for advice. you always give the best advice and always know what to say. you feel like an older best friend/sibling that’s experienced with certain things and always know what to do and say and is so supportive 😭💀 so thank you 😚

*was in the middle of eating pecans*

hm.

Firstly, if you're worried something is wrong, you should see a doctor and discuss with them about vaginal care. I can't give medical advice hahaha. But I will say, if something is wrong and you need medical treatment, the common symptoms are burning, itching, physical discomfort - basically, you'll know right away.

Go to the doctor if that's what's going on!

It's probably just general insecurity though. Porn basically only has one type of pussy, media implies that it can only look a "certain" way, etc, etc. In my stories, I try to avoid describing how it looks, not just for the reader to imagine themselves, but also because

Men don't care.

lol

(sorry, BTS, I know I'm just assuming that you don't care what the pussy looks like but I think it's a fair assumption)

It's not limited to gender btw, includes women, non-binary, genderfluid, etc.

Nobody really cares. Why would you? You're about to get laid! Who cares what it looks like??? If you've gotten to the point where your clothes are that far off and the other person makes a negative comment about your genitals, feel free to slap them across the face. Do it. I give you permission. Also, leave, because they don't deserve any of the good stuff after that. Hmph.

Have you ever watched Sex Education? Great Netflix series, but even if you haven't, there actually is a part of the show where a character is insecure about how her vulva (the outside of the vaginal opening) looks. There is a website she visits that shows the diversity of vulvas and it is a real website: https://www.all-vulvas-are-beautiful.com/. Even if you know the facts, it can be helpful to visually see the diversity. :)

As for vaginal discharge, this typically depends on your menstrual cycle. Everyone is a little different, of course, but in general it follows the same pattern. For example, when you're ovulating, your discharge is clear, thin, and slippery. You might also expel thirty times your normal amount of daily discharge during this time. And yes, it can contribute to the smell, simply due to the amount. You can look up more information about vaginal discharge and find out more for your sexual health.

Side note

I do not recommend using those "cleansing washes" on your genitals.

-ㅅ-

Your vagina is slightly acidic. In fact, if you notice your underwear becoming lighter in the gusset, it is in fact because your vajayjay is so powerful that it bleached your clothes (LOL sorry I couldn't resist XD). This is why when you're cleaning your body, you don't want to get soap near it, because soap is basic and interferes with the pH of your vagina. The health of your vagina is very dependent on the pH. Your vagina self-cleans (I told you, v powerful), which it why it expels discharge (when you're not horny; if you're horny, then it's just preparing for the good stuff *wink wink*).

When you're showering / bathing, use warm water, spread the lips and use your hands (or a washcloth) to cleanse the folds, rinse thoroughly and that's it. Don't get water / soap inside. Don't overclean.

Again, if you're extra worried, talk to a medical professional. But I think you're fine. Your vulva is chillin'. Be cool. ;)

Going to be honest

I don't think about my vulva much lol

I used to think it looked weird, but then I thought, "dicks look way weirder" and that was enough for me LMAO

[starrkdani]

Noona, What do you think is an 'average' member size?

Hey Nonny!!!!

This Q is about the MTS Member Size post

Hum... 

This is quite a complicated question, but according to the internets, this is what I found:

Info, rambling and calcutations ahead.

The “average” size range from 12 to 16 centimiters while erect. it’s usually between 8% and 10% of the person’s height. I tend to agree with it. This is actually good, since overal vajayjay size is between 8 and 10 cm. 

Here is some data for comparison (in centimeters, because I’m from Brazil, lol):

World: 13.58cm // S.Korea: 13.16cm // Ecuador: 17.61cm// Cameroon 16.67cm // Denmark 14.88cm // Brazil: 15.22cm .

As you can see, the “average” is quite “good”. 

So, for example, if  Jimin is average size, then that puts him at about 14cm - that would be about 8% of his height. And he’s average height in Korea too, so that is actually quite good. 

So, someone “above average” would be like... more than 10% of their body height... which is... sincerely, a lot. Walking ahound with 18cm of meat... is a lot!!! 

And we aren’t even considering girth! Some people believe the secret is actually  girth, not length! 

ANYWAYS..........

Sincerely, I don’t know if it’s because I’m small, or because I’m a girl, or because pron isn’t really big on me... but I really don’t think this should matter much?

I mean...I know I’m writing an essay here, but what matters in the end is TECHNIQUE!

If you have a big diick and don’t know how to use it... it’s like having a supercar and not knowing how to drive. 

Also, there is mouth, hands, tongue... these also matter during se x. 

(Now I’m gonna wash my brain with soap and bleach)

Local Area Ace Woman Very Confused By Soap Opera

Okay, so I’ve been spending my lunches during quarantine watching Days of Our Lives.  Because reasons.  And the plotlines are ridiculous as always but I”m hoping my allosexual friends can help me figure out this one conundrum.

Marlena is legally married to John but Stefano is obsessed with her.  So he brain washes her and sends John fake divorce papers so he can “marry” her.

John is obviously upset by this because he and Marlena are OTP.  But he’s more stressed out over Stefano having sex with Marlena than anything else.  Actual dialogue from John’s mouth: “He doesn’t just plan to marry Marlena, he wants to *consummate* that marriage”.  “We have to stop this wedding. And whatever Stefano thinks is going to happen after.”

Now maybe, this is my ace self showing through but...WHY ARE YOU MORE PISSED ABOUT YOUR WOMAN DOING A NEW DUDE THAN HIM MARRYING HER?

Like okay, she had another dick in her vajayjay.  So what?  Why can’t you just go back to normal after you get the microchip out of her?  The marriage is fake anyway.  

Can my allosexual friends show me what I’m missing?  I would be more worried abou tthe marriage because then you have to go through so many legal loopholes to get that annulled and get your marriage valid agian.  And if Stefano disappears (as he is wont to do) then it gets that much harder.

Tagging friends but anyone can jump in.

@hithelleth @jadedbirch @asoulsrain

[farfromparker]

does the same go for vajayjays? the soap and water thing? not inside of your coochie obviously lol

Haha I always just use warm water on mine, they do literally clean themselves (hence random discharge) so the warm water just cleans up dried sweat and things like that!

But I’ve heard those like summer eve and brands that are supposed to be for you vagina can actually do more harm then good, especially if you have sensitive skin so I’ve always steered clear of them

[taetaesbaebaepsae]

Hey, I need help and I'm too embarrassed to ask anyone else this, but I tried for the first time to masturbate and I think messed up cause there was blood. So I think I scratched myself with my nail and I don't know if i should leave it be or do something about it. The blood wasn't too bad and it stopped after a short time. So I don't know if it's a small cut or not. But what should I do? Should I just pretend it didn't happen? or?

If it isn't bleeding anymore, you're good to go, love.

This happens a lot during masturbation and sex, and as long as you keep the area clean (with just water soap is bad for your vajayjay folks) then it won't get infected or anything.

Nothing at all to worry about!

Timely stories, inspiring legions of medical students and empowering women (and its cast): showrunner Krista Vernoff and star Ellen Pompeo and the rest of the cast talk with The Hollywood Reporter about breaking 'ER's' record as TV's longest-running medical drama.

Two weeks before Grey's Anatomy's March 2005 series debut, series star Ellen Pompeo thought her ABC medical drama was, in her words, "dead in the water."

"The day the network changed our title to Complications it was like someone died in here," leading lady Pompeo tells The Hollywood Reporter from the show's L.A. set during an early January visit.

The title change would not stick. Two days later, ABC would revert back to Grey's Anatomy and, now, 14 years and 332 episodes later, Grey's Anatomy, with Thursday's installment, will break ER's status as TV's longest-running primetime medical drama.

It's a feat that creator Shonda Rhimes and showrunner Krista Vernoff, who spent the first seven seasons working under the former, never expected during the show's early days.

"After we produced 10 of our 12 episodes that first year, I went away to make a pilot and my assistant stayed behind in L.A. and she called me and said, 'They're making us pack up our offices.' They made us move out. They didn't think we were getting a season two," says Vernoff, who worked with former ER showrunner John Wells on Showtime's Shameless before being hand-picked by Rhimes to take over Grey's in season 14. "We owe a huge debt of gratitude to ER — without it, Grey's wouldn't exist. … We have surprised everybody — and ourselves. The staying power is amazing."

And the Seattle-set drama really does have some staying power. Seriously. It ranks as ABC's No. 1 series for the 2018-19 broadcast season with an impressive average of a 3.1 rating among the advertiser-coveted adults 18-49 demographic. Grey's is also, sources say, one of Netflix's top performing acquired series. The streamer has helped bring in a new legion of viewers that further propels first-run originals on ABC. What's more, Grey's has global reach: It is the key asset among all the Shondaland shows that have been licensed in more than 235 territories worldwide and dubbed in more than 67 languages. Grey's remains a top performer for foreign broadcasters and has been adapted into localized versions in Mexico, Colombia and Turkey. The series remains a top-performing U.S. drama abroad.

"It's a $4 billion business and it's everywhere in the world," says Pompeo, who ranks as TV's highest-paid leading lady on a primetime drama series with $20 million per season (plus points of the show's lucrative back end and producing fees). Adds Vernoff: "Shonda says I'm leading a multibillion-dollar worldwide corporation but if I think about that for too long, I won't be able to get out of bed!"

Global Reach Every single one of the current 11 Grey's series regulars has a story about the impact of their show. Most of them include anecdotes from viewers — and their children — about entering the medical field and becoming surgeons and nurses because of Grey's. "Graduating female surgeons have gone through the roof since Grey's Anatomy started," says Caterina Scorsone, who is the only (primetime, live-action) actor to start on a spinoff as series regular and wind up holding the same status on the original series.

Kevin McKidd — who was originally cast as a love interest for Sandra Oh's Cristina Yang and has now appeared in more Grey's episodes than the Killing Eve star did during her tenure — was recognized a few years ago on a dirt road in the "middle of nowhere in Mozambique," where he was helping a doctor friend improve conditions at a local hospital. "To see that in the farthest reaches of a very poor and struggling country there was this show that inspires people was pretty emotional," he says.

TV legend Debbie Allen, who exec produces, directs and has a recurring role, says she's now approached more about her time on Grey's than her iconic part on Fame. "I was in Cuba and accosted by these young girls who were screaming, 'Katherine Avery!'" she says with a laugh.

Giacomo Gianniotti, who has been a regular since season 12, is now repeatedly spotted in his home of Italy. "Because I'm Italian, there's this pride — like one of us made it to America and made it on our show that we watch," he says. "I traveled to Kenya doing some volunteer work this summer and a lot of people approached me to say they love Grey's. The reach is just huge."

Sums up Pompeo, who had an impact off-screen when she fought for her record-breaking salary: "Everywhere I go I get, 'My daughter is a surgeon because of you.'"

Empowering From the Start Grey's was the first TV series creator Rhimes got on the air. (ABC previously passed on a Rhimes drama about female war correspondents). Grey's broke out in season two and became a cultural phenomenon, contributing terms like "vajayjay" and "McDreamy" to pop culture. Grey's has also birthed two spinoffs — Private Practice, which ran for six seasons and 111 episodes — and Station 19, which is currently in its second season on ABC. The success of Grey's has led to other opportunities for Rhimes, who really broke out with ABC's political soap Scandal. That series built on Rhimes' penchant for color blind casting on Grey's. (Former star Isaiah Washington nearly played the McDreamy part that went to Patrick Dempsey, while network execs expected Oh's role of Cristina to be played by a white actress.)

"When they had me come in to read for the role of chief of surgery, I hadn't seen an African-American in that kind of role before," says James Pickens Jr., who remembers sitting next to Rhimes at the 2005 upfronts when she hoped to get five or seven episodes on the air. "Grey's is more than just entertainment. Shonda always wanted to make sure that the show impacted the landscape in a way that we hadn't seen before on TV. I like to think that Grey's had a big part in how the industry casts shows."

In addition to Rhimes' breakout success — she left her longtime home at ABC Studios last year for a $300 million Netflix overall deal — the cast has also been able to add to their skillsets. Grey's has launched directing careers for stars including showrunner Vernoff, Pompeo (who made her debut in season 14), Jesse Williams, McKidd and Wilson, the latter of whom helmed Thursday's record-breaking hour. (Former star Sarah Drew also earned an Emmy nomination last year for directing a Grey's digital short.)

"The atmosphere here is if you want to try something, you're encouraged," says Wilson, who along with Pompeo, Justin Chambers and Pickens is one of the four remaining original stars.

For Williams, that outlook has also afforded him the opportunity to build up his own businesses. "Grey's has made a home for me so that I can launch three tech companies and can go on speaking tours and live a life. A lot of that has to do with being on a show that's run by women and people who can actually multitask," says Williams, who will direct again this season.

Grey's has also created a safe space for its (many!) pregnant stars, who have always been afforded job security. Wilson, for her part, thought she'd be written out of the series when she told Rhimes of her pregnancy early on in the show's run. Instead, it was written into Bailey's season two storyline (and the character's son is now old enough to have been featured in a season 14 episode exploring unconscious bias).

"Instead of shunning it and hoping you don't get pregnant, I watch producers actively encourage all of our actors to have a family," Williams says. "That is the formula and secret for longevity: feeding into a healthy life and happiness instead of running from it or trying to press you out of it."

Opening Hearts, Changing Minds Beyond creating a new legion of directors and producers (Pompeo has an overall deal with ABC Studios and produces both Grey's and Station 19), the long-running medical drama has made an impact on-screen with empowering storylines. More recently, Grey's has explored domestic violence with Camilla Luddington's Jo, unconscious bias and new stories for transgender characters. Grey's this season features a same-sex relationship with its first openly gay male surgeon (Alex Landi, whose Nico is romancing Jake Borelli's intern, Schmitt) as part of its "Season of Love." The latter is especially true for Pompeo's Meredith, who is now exploring serious relationships after losing her "person" when Dempsey's Derek was shockingly killed off back in season 11.

"The most empowering storyline for me has been to portray a woman who has lost the love of their life and what does life look like having to continue on after losing the right side of your body? Did his departure mean I no longer mattered or my magic and chemistry was somehow gone? We saw that I could stand on my own and that women who do lose their partners or children, there is a way for people to go on. To be able to portray someone who could go through the hardest thing you could go through — the death of a loved one — and to be able to portray the survival of that is the most meaningful," a tearful Pompeo says, comparing Meredith's loss to the passing of her own mother at a young age. "After that, you think you can't go on. … So it's all come full circle."

Other cast members point to medical storylines that have helped viewers diagnose loved ones. Wilson is especially proud of the cyclic vomiting syndrome episode, while Chambers singles out exploring mental illness with Alex's mother in a storyline first planted in the show's early days. But all involved can point to several subjects the series has explored that have helped open minds and let viewers see versions of themselves on TV.

"Callie and Arizona's wedding was a really big deal and you think of the different countries that the episode was broadcast in and they may not have thought they were ready for big things like that," Williams says. "Whether it was the transgender young woman I just met who felt like she was included because she saw a trans patient whose storyline wasn't focused on her trans-ness, or the police violence episode — which is close to the work that I do — the running theme is allowing people to feel seen and considered."

And sometimes the impact Grey's is making is subtler than a storyline or patient.

"I've had black women say that I'm the reason they decided to go natural with their hair," says Kelly McCreary, who has played Meredith's half-sister, Maggie, since the end of season 10. "If seeing me on screen representing our hair in its natural state freed viewers from any ideas they had about that being bad, unattractive or unprofessional or whatever else they're trying to feed us about it, that's remarkable."

Doing Something New (That Still Feels Familiar) Everyone on the Grey's call sheet will give credit for the show's creative and ratings resurgence to Vernoff, who as Chambers says, "hit a refresh button and reinvigorated the show." Kim Raver, who reprises her role as Teddy after previously serving as a series regular for seasons six through eight, feels the same old-school energy now that she did a decade ago and credits Vernoff for "infusing the quintessential Shonda Rhimes vibe of it." And while Vernoff smiles when told of the cast's kind words for her work, she is aware of the power that comes with writing for a beloved character like Pompeo's Meredith Grey.

"When Meredith Grey speaks, people listen," says Vernoff, who recently signed a big overall deal with ABC Studios. "There is so much darkness and so much to be frightened of and this show has so much impact. People have grown up with Meredith. So, my goal is to have a voice on the planet and to have an impact: to change hearts and minds."  

Vernoff is aware that she is already achieving that impact. The showrunner — who has been outspoken about timely issues surrounding Hollywood including the #MeToo movement, salary parity and more — recalled a recent conversation with Rhimes in which the Grey's creator shared a story from a makeup artist who noted that his brother is a Korean gay man and was moved to see himself represented on screen. Other highlights include hearing from a current Grey's writers PA who wrote a letter sharing a story about experiencing his father's death at the age of 16 and finding solace in a storyline with George (T.R. Knight) and Cristina talking about the "Dead Dad's Club."

"To put my painful loss on TV and help other people through that is deeply meaningful to me," Vernoff says of the origin of that storyline.

As for what comes next, Vernoff did not want to write in a wink and nod to ER — fitting given her relationship with Wells on Shameless and the fact that the former NBC medical drama was one of the series that made her want to be a TV writer in the first place. Instead, Vernoff opted to do something that Grey's had never done before.

"In the 300th episode we did a huge number of winks at the show's history and beginnings. I don't know if ERdid it or not but what I came up with was a no-medicine episode," Vernoff says of the Grey's first. Adds McCreary: "We're in this party scene and I keep waiting for somebody to need a tracheotomy! But instead it's great because it feels like a real celebration of these characters."

Meaningful Milestone As the episode doubles as a celebration of sorts of the record-breaking milestone, the stars all share the same refrain when asked about the significance of doing a whopping 332 hours of television. All involved recall their initial shock that the series few thought would work has become the powerhouse franchise it is today.

"My goal was to do the pilot, take the check and pay some bills!" Wilson recalls with a laugh. Adds Chambers: "When we were in season two, I'd say to everybody, 'Do you think we've got two more years? I just wanted to get my kids to college.' And now some of them are done with it!" Pompeo also points to the record's value in the current TV landscape where viewers have an option to pick from nearly 500 scripted series and 700-plus unscripted offerings on an array of platforms as competition for eyeballs expands to other forms of entertainment like video games and podcasts.

"The fact that we're still the network's No. 1 drama and can stay afloat in this landscape after 15 years is incredible," Pompeo says. "It's also incredible in a larger sense because it's something that I resisted [and] that I said I would never do."

For his part, Williams has now appeared in more than two-thirds of Grey's Anatomy's total episodes after first joining the cast as recurring player Jackson Avery in season six. It's a jarring fact for the actor who initially thought the show would only be around for only a few more seasons when he first signed on. He now scoffs at those who use Grey's Anatomy as a punchline.

"That response — 'Oh, Grey's is still on' — at first, I took offense to it but now I don't because it's not really about our show; it's about the business because shows don't last that long," says Williams, whose tech companies are all inspired by the message of visibility he sees every day on Grey's. "I'm really proud of what we do here — I wouldn't be here this long if I wasn't."

The Future While Grey's has not officially been renewed for its 16th season, it's considered a lock as Pompeo's deal covers the 2019-2020 broadcast season. ABC Entertainment president Karey Burke and ABC Studios topper Patrick Moran both bow before what Pompeo and Grey's have been able to accomplish. "We are awed by this rare and incredible achievement," Moran says. "To make 15 seasons of television that are creatively fresh and compelling — and now record breaking — is almost unheard of, but Shonda, Betsy Beers, Krista, Ellen and the incredible cast and crew have managed to do that. We're very proud of this show and this team." Adds Burke: "How fitting and well deserved it is for Grey's Anatomy — a show that never ceases to inspire, surprise and move us — to achieve something no other primetime medical drama can lay claim to. The creative bar set by Shonda, Betsy, Krista, Ellen and the entire cast and crew will keep this iconic show in rarefied air for generations, and as one of their millions of fans, I congratulate them on this historic milestone."

Pompeo, too, knows she has experienced something special in her decade and a half on Grey's, where she has been afforded a rare ability to evolve Meredith as a character while growing as an actor and producer. "I've come full circle on this show from being an actor with no voice, no say and terrified to speak up or advocate for myself in any way," Pompeo says. "I'm now someone who is heard here and who has a say here. I'm one of my bosses and that's an unusual situation for an actress in Hollywood — to get to say what I want and what I don't. If I left the show, I don't think I'd have that same situation anywhere."

That's not to say Pompeo hasn't toyed with the idea of leaving Grey's over the years. The actress has been candid many times about experiencing the nagging pull many stars on veteran series experience as they consider leaving and taking on new and different roles. But at the end of the day, the idea of stepping away from something as big as what Grey's Anatomy has become has proven impossible.

"You can't ignore the worldwide phenomenon that this show is. How do you walk away or ignore that?" Pompeo says. "Being the face and voice of something that can generate that much money, there's only a very small number of people who can say that they have achieved that. If you're lucky enough to be the face and voice of something that's generated billions of dollars for a network, that's something to be proud of."

Meanwhile, Pickens is in talks for a new deal that would see him continue on as Grey's Anatomy's elder statesman Richard Webber. ("Nothing is solid yet but more than likely, I'll be here," he says.) Pickens adds the thought of going after Gunsmoke or Law & Order: SVU — the latter of which will break the former's record as TV's longest-running primetime drama series when it is renewed for its 21st season — remains "intriguing." Wilson, for her part, has one goal in mind now that Grey's has snapped ER's streak. "I would love to be a starter and a finisher of a thing," says the original star, whose contract is also up this season. "When the show is ready for that last shot, I want to be in that."

Seeing Ghosts Of the many notable cast departures, Vernoff, Pompeo and the cast all have quick answers at the ready when asked about which former Grey's co-stars they'd like to bring back to Prospect Studios:

Pompeo (Meredith): "I would love for Sandra Oh to be on the show but not more than I love seeing Sandra Oh out there in the world doing her thing. Not more than I love seeing her shine on her own at the Golden Globes and on Killing Eve. So I would say no [to that]. I love everybody who has been on this show, regardless of their time here and whether it was tumultuous or not."

Chambers (Alex): "Richard Herrmann. He played my intern for a while and was such a joy to work with. He passed on but I felt very lucky to work with him."

Wilson (Bailey): "Bailey was crazy about George O'Malley. But the thing about our show is we always keep our past characters alive; there is nobody we don't ever not talk about because every one of those characters has been the foundation for why we're here."

Pickens (Richard): "I've been in this business almost 40 years and Sandra Oh brought something very special to every scene."

McKidd (Owen): "Sandra Oh's Cristina, especially the way things are right now with Amelia, Teddy and Owen. To throw her into the mix at the same time? Owen would literally keel over and never get up again."

Raver (Teddy): "Sandra Oh. I started off having crazy, intense scenes with her — like when Henry (Scott Foley) was dying and I love her as a friend and admire her as an actress."

Williams (Jackson): "Frances Conroy. She was here in season seven and I didn't get to work with her. She is tremendous and was on one of my favorite shows ever: Six Feet Under."

Luddington (Jo): "Kyle Chandler. I love Friday Night Lights."

Scorsone (Amelia): "Chyler Leigh (Lexie). She is so much fun and is great with drama and comedy. I'm sad that I didn't get to work with her more."

McCreary (Maggie): "Kate Burton. I'd love for Maggie and Ellis to interact. Kate and I did a play together in 2014. She's one of my favorite people."

Gianniotti (DeLuca): "Jessica Capshaw. We would laugh until snot was coming out of our noses. I miss having her around."

Allen (Katherine): "I had so much fun directing Patrick Dempsey when he was here. I nicknamed him Dash because he would come on the set, look at his watch and want to keep it moving. He never liked to do a lot of takes but was always great. I didn't get to act with him but I did some of his best scenes while I was here. We think of him fondly."

Vernoff (showrunner): "Sandra Oh. I miss writing for Sandra and Cristina."

I’m of age but haven’t been sexually active for a variety of reasons, one of them being I don’t know what to look out for with birth control (side effects and such) or any like Vaginal products to just keep me in tip top shape so I’ve just been to conscious of myself to take anything too far it’s kind of lame lol...

I completely understand! There’s no need to feel conscious about yourself when it comes to your vaginal hygiene or your sexual activity. I’m not very sexually active myself but it’s mostly because of disinterest and laziness lol. To answer your question, I’d say if you’re not too active and don’t mind using a condom and being very careful, there’s no need to invest in birth control for the time being. Of course, this is a personal choice and if you believe that you’re safer taking birth control, by all means go ahead. Choosing to use birth control also depends on how sexually active you are. If you’re only having sex on a really rare basis, going on birth control might seem like too much effort etc. If you’re intending to be quite active with your partner (or partners, there’s enough love to go around ;D), then perhaps using birth control is a good choice if you eventually want to do away with the condom. I’m not too familiar with the side effects of birth control for the same reasons as above. But from chatting with friends, they find that their periods become more regular or irregular depending on how long they’ve been taking the pills. Your hormones might be irregular, or there might be other symptoms. It’s always good to chat with your doctor, since you’ll likely need a prescription to gain access to birth control. As for vaginal products, the main advice I’d give is to trim your bushes. Soap isn’t good for your vagina, and most ‘vaginal hygiene’ products might strip the skin there of their protective oils and somesuch. If you want to use vaginal hygiene products, use them sparingly, maybe once a week, if that. Otherwise, rinsing your vagina does the job just as well since your vajayjay is self-cleaning. If you’re worried about the scent down there, changing your diet might help. I’ve heard from some others that eating less fried food can lessen the musk. It’s not proven, but you can try that. In any case, your musk and scent is uniquely you and you shouldn’t be worried about your scent down there. If your partner doesn’t like it (for no good reason other than they ‘don’t like it’), deny them oral sex (for them) or just plain drop them.Sex is a very complicated dance, and I completely understand feeling very apprehensive about taking your physical relationships to the next level. The advice I would give is to feel trust and security with your partner. If you can establish some level of trust with them, then you would feel more comfortable baring yourself to them. Alternatively, if you still feel very self-conscious, taking a deep breath and going for the plunge anyway might help. Concentrating on your partner might also help, and controlling the scene/situation also helps. Sex is an intimate thing, but it shouldn’t be scary with someone you feel comfortable with. Sex can sometimes end with a laugh, sometimes with a grimace and a ‘let’s not try this thing next round’, sometimes with a tired grin and ‘oh hell yes we’re doing this again’. I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, I’m here to help :3 If anyone wants to comment and add on to this, please feel free!

🤔 What do you use sis? 🤷🏽‍♀️ . Ok so the lovely Tokyo asked a valid question. What do you use on your vajayjay while showering? 🚿 Well, she asked about the inside which she considers the labia and such but what do you use for real? . . . Please don’t put scented body washes, soaps, lotions, oils, all that in your honey pot. Water 💦 is best and if you want something pure and helpful at that, use a little coconut oil. 🥥 It helps with bacteria 🦠 , lil lubrication 💧 action if need be, and try to use organic at that. As a matter of fact, put coconut oil in your shower. I’m not going to argue about some using soap and their pH is still fine. Good for you. Not all is fortunate enough. However, health wise, this is my recommendation. I’m no health professional so you can keep minding your business but I do this daily. Just tryna help and put you on. So if you can use the recommendation and would like to share, tell me how it helps you. 👂🏽 https://www.instagram.com/p/B22hCRzpUMK/?igshid=1eik96xppbceg

7 Bad Habits Which Negatively Affect Your Vaginal Health

7 Bad Habits Which Negatively Affect Your Vaginal Health

Saumya Gaur January 16, 2019

Often times, we, women, pay a lot of attention to our looks which includes taking care of our physique and even our skin. But what about our nether regions? Topics like sexual health and upkeep of our private parts get pushed to a corner precisely because there is a slight hesitation or stigma attached to these topics. One feels really uncomfortable asking someone about it.

But ladies, I want to tell you that your vaginal health is as, if not more, important as maintaining a perfect visage. After all, a happy vajayjay means a happy you. To make you better equipped to take care of your lady parts and help you keep it in the perfect ten conditions, we decided to do a little bit of research. While doing this research, we found that a few of our everyday habits spell disaster for the health of our front bottoms. Curious to know what they are? Here you go-

1. Washing It

Before you say anything, we aren’t saying you should never clean it under the hood. What we are saying is, cleaning there is not like cleaning your armpits or your back — scrubbing and lathering with soap. Scrubbing it is out of the question as it can make the area very raw and uncomfortable. Using soap can also lead to irritation in case you are sensitive down there.

Instead, a splash of water is enough, and if you must use a cleaning solution, go for an unscented, hypoallergenic one, and just apply it using your hands, avoid using a washcloth or a loofah.

2. Sitting In Your Gym Clothes For Far Too Long

We’ve all been there when we make our way to the gym and after a good workout, we’re riding that adrenaline high, and we think that there’s no harm in running a few errands. It might save us a few minutes, but it’s certainly not making our vajayjay happy.

Sweat is the breeding ground for a lot of bacteria including yeast that thrives in moist conditions, so as soon as you’re done with your workout, take off the sweaty workout gear. If possible, try to take a shower at your gym and change into a fresh pair of clothes including underpants before running errands.

3. Wearing Sanitary Pads

Yes, even sanitary pads can spell trouble for your nether regions. If your lady parts are sensitive, then wearing a sanitary napkin all day can irritate it or lead to chafing. If you really wish to continue with the pads, try using ones which are made of cotton.

4. Shaving Down There

Whether you prefer to go au naturel or not, consider giving it a shot for the health and happiness of your nether regions. It turns out that the pubic hair helps in preserving the air pocket that exists between the skin of our nether regions and the underwear. This air pocket helps in keeping the area dry and inhospitable for germs and infectious bacteria. In the absence of hair, there is no air pocket, leading to accumulation of moisture there due to sweating (1). So, shaving might seem more hygienic, but it’s an unhealthy option. If you want, you can trim it or try grooming only the bikini line areas.

5. Leaving Tampons In For Long Periods Of Time

Ever heard of the “Toxic Shock Syndrome?” Well, it’s a type of life-threatening infection, caused by a type of bacteria known as the Staphylococcus aureus (staph) bacteria. However, sometimes it can also be due to the toxins secreted by another type of bacteria known as Group A streptococcus (strep) bacteria (2).

One of the primary causes of Toxic Shock Syndrome is leaving in tampons for longer than the recommended duration. So, even if it doesn’t feel quite full, try to change it as often as you can.

6. Having A Poor Diet

Having a poor diet is not only bad for your health in general, but it also puts your vajayjay at risk of infections and diseases. For example, if you consume a diet that has a high sugar content, then it can cause an overgrowth of the bacteria responsible for causing yeast infections (candida) (3). And if you indulge in spicy food it can alter the natural pH of your vagina, which in turn can make it smell different.

To avoid this, you can include probiotics in your diet, it will help in the growth of beneficial bacteria in your gut and do the same for your nether regions as well.

7. Using Panty Liners For Discharge

The vaginal discharge that you experience is a natural way by which your lady parts clean themselves (4). Some of us are quite conscious of this and resort to wearing panty liners or sanitary napkins to avoid feeling uncomfortable when we experience discharge. However, it’s not a wise thing to do. Wearing a pantyliner for long durations can irritate your vajayjay, therefore, don’t use it in case you’re experiencing discharge. If you are experiencing foul-smelling discharge or experiencing it in more-than-usual quantity, consult a doctor.

So ladies, if you want to have a blissful experience down there, then these are the habits that you should get rid of. In case you know of any other habits that have an effect on vaginal health, then let us know in the comments.

How Every Relationship Can Benefit From Sex Toys

Aided by the advent of the current trend that is green did you ever wonder in regards to the toxins in your adult toys? In addition, I'm hoping that this is simply not just a organic trend or the politically correct solution to be right now, but instead the brand new and only way for our future globe. It is vital that we all notice techniques to save our gorgeous planet earth, and keep ourselves safe and healthier also. Therefore then, what of this awareness that is current of adult toys? Well, it would appear that many popular erotic toys are made from polyvinyl chlorides (PVC) , plastic materials very long decried by eco-activists for the toxins released in their manufacture and disposal. These plastic materials are softened with phythalates, a controversial group of chemical compounds. Included in these are the inviting soft "jelly" or "cyberskin" adult toy items which have become therefore popular within the last decades that are few. Even though the earlier in the day models, including the infamous "Rabbit" had adult toys been created using PVC plastic materials, it absolutely was problematic for most bigger stores to carry plenty of items and avoid PVC yet. It had been fundamentally cheaper while the educated consumer had yet to achieve the understanding plateau that exists of green products, ie today. soaps, detergents, linens, sheets, meals, and yes, adult toys! Most have tried an adult toy a few times. That great scent of the brand name brand new plastic doll is simply the new toy "off-gassing", meaning it is releasing VOC's in to the environment. The problem with VOCs? Organic compounds will be the foundation of most residing things and contain carbon as their major element. VOCs, in comparison, are chemical compounds that vaporize at room heat.

These are typically suspected carcinogens, meaning they can cause cancer tumors when you breath them in. So considercarefully what damage you can be doing once you place these "safe" synthetic sex toys in your "vajayjay"... as Oprah would state! Even scarier, adult toys are unregulated, and therefore there are no directions for manufacturing, no needs to disclose just what materials are involved in production and no regulatory human anatomy that governs what plastic materials and chemical substances are used. With all the current press that is recent the indiscretions and backstabbing policies of Big Business plus the banking globe, you don't expect your masturbator business to be always a couple of angels? This all means you have to become a consumer that is educated. This includes investigating, reading, and knowing what you wear or within your body, from meals to adult sex toys! Also, a note that is important. We all need to push for regulatory action in the chemicals that are hazardous all customer services and products. a thing that is funny these chemical compounds like phythalates, that have been recently banned by the federal government within the youngsters' toys, are yet still an issue within our adult toys.
