Dear Emma,
Let’s get one thing straight: it’s called your vagina. No cute nicknames or euphemisms here. It’s an important part of who you are, and I want you to own that without shying away from the terminology. I brought you into this world, and I won’t diminish the significance of your anatomy by dressing it up in silly names.
Now, while your vagina is a vital aspect of your reproductive system, it’s just one piece of a much larger puzzle. In fact, the clitoris is where the real excitement lies—it’s like the charming gondolier serenading you along the romantic canals of life. That said, it’s essential to be informed and prepared for adult situations as you approach this new chapter.
You might say, “But Mom, my friends call it their fluffies, and it’s so embarrassing!” To that, I’d respond, “Sweetheart, when you’re navigating the complexities of relationships and intimacy, you’ll want to be equipped with the right language and understanding.” Because when the moment comes, you’ll need to confidently say, “This is my vagina, and if we’re not protected with methods like condoms, we could face serious consequences—like an unplanned pregnancy or an STD.”
Don’t let synonyms for body parts distract you from the reality of adult life. The terms we use can downplay the gravity of intimacy and responsibility. Your vagina, along with your cervix, labia, and ovaries, are essential aspects of your being. But more than that, I want you to embrace the truth about yourself and your body.
Navigating life will involve learning about many things—love, loss, and the harsh realities that come with them. For example, marriage can be both beautiful and challenging, often requiring work and compromise. And remember, life is unpredictable; everyone faces loss, and even the most cherished individuals can leave us too soon.
Bringing a child into the world is a significant event—one that can be both messy and joyful. Love, too, requires effort and sometimes feels like a conscious choice. Good sex should uplift you and contribute positively to your life.
You’ll discover that some truths come with discomfort, like those childhood vaccinations you dreaded. Yet, the benefits often outweigh the temporary pain. It’s in the moments of self-reflection that you’ll find growth, even when it’s difficult.
I want you to engage with the world confidently. This includes understanding your body, discussing topics like testicles and why they’re relevant, and knowing that one day, it will simply be you and your vagina figuring things out together. I won’t always be there to shield you, and it’s important for you to step into your own power.
So as you embrace adulthood, remember that you are responsible for your journey, and it’s okay to ask questions. If you’re curious about home insemination, you might find resources like this helpful.

In the end, I want you to fly free, embracing all that life has to offer.
With love,
Mom
