Vagina fliers embarrassing because a body is private

In response to the Valentine Day posters of vaginas, I would like to present a different view. I believe that one's sexuality and sexual behavior should be private. I do not wish that they be hidden because those body parts are "dirty," but just the opposite. They are extremely special.

One could think of it like celebrities who try to protect their children from media attention.

They don't do this because they are ashamed of their children, but because they love them. I sat in a class of almost all men on Wednesday and was humiliated as they used the poster as the source of crude jokes. I felt as though something personal of mine was being held up for public spectacle. My vagina and what I do with it has nothing to do with them.
