After Sunday afternoon’s Pacers/Heat playoffs game, I spotted this blue balls/blue penis in the wild. Or, more specifically, in the parking garage by the Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

Genitals in the Wild: Avocado Vulva
Sometimes I wonder if nature is trying to make me giggle. This lovely genital gem came in a bag with several other avocados from the market, but none of the others shared its labial allure. There’s even a little circular depression where a clitoris would be, were this avocado an actual vulva. I almost can’t bring myself to make guacamole out of it!

Genitals in the Wild: Vulva Earrings
While passing through Haapsalu, a town in Estonia, I came across these fabulous earrings, carved from wood. Though I selected another pair to purchase for myself, I was struck by how vulva-tastic these were so I just had to take a picture. Follow us on Twitter @mysexprofessor.

Historical Statues Get Vulva-fied
Someone has made my week. An anonymous street artist in Halifax, Nova Scotia is attaching felt vulvas to the groins of statues throughout the city. I adore not only felt vulvas, but also appearances of fabric vulvas (in this case, velvet and satin) in unlikely places. Is this ‘vulva-nator’ (as Jamie Frevele at theMarySue.com calls him or her) taking the yarnbombing trend in a new direction? Making a sexual/political statement? Continue Reading →
Genitals in the Wild: Office Edition
First genitals-in-the-wild sighting at the new job: Phallic-receipt. I was sitting in a co-workers office, and this little baby was pinned nonchalantly to her bulletin board. When I brought it to her attention that the water stain looked phallic-like, she claimed she had never noticed it before. Did I buy it? Not a chance. Continue Reading →
Vulva in the Wild!
I found this succulent while exploring my school’s greenhouse. Vulvalicious much? Continue Reading →
Genitals In The Wild: the UK Edition
Back in October of 2011, I took my first trip overseas to the United Kingdom. Yet it wasn’t until recent (when I read Jeana’s post about the Torre Agbar’s phallic resemblance) that I remember that I snapped this photo! It was Jeann’s description of the “cucumber-like tower” in Barcelona that instantly reminded me of this photo (and why I even snapped it in the first place… HELLO — phallic architecture). We were on a ferry from London to Greenwich, and as we passed this bit of skyline — I knew exactly where this would come in handy (punny, yes?). Continue Reading →
Genitals In The Wild: Barcelona’s Torre Agbar
While in Barcelona, I caught a glimpse of the Torre Agbar, a large tower that can charitably be described as cucumber-like. I didn’t manage to get a close-up, but hopefully you get the idea!

Genitals In The Wild: Vulva Succulent
I came across this genital in the wild while having lunch with a sex educator friend at a cafe in North Melbourne. To our mutual delight, the table was adorned with this labial decor. Quite appropriate that this very vulval plant is a succulent, no? Follow us on Twitter @mysexprofessor.

Genitals In The Wild: Bone Appetit
Dinner at a phallic (looking) table? Yes please. Although I’m not entirely sure why so many of my ‘genitals in the wild’ posts are predominantly phallic-based, I just had to snap a photo of this lovely table setting. Yet I suppose what amuses me the most is — the family had no idea I was merely taking the photo to share later on MSP. [Back story: About a month ago, I was in England meeting a large portion of my fiance's family; and rather than explaining I was snapping the picture on my cell for a sex-ed blog, I simply skipped the details and snapped away.]
Bone appetit [...punny stuff, right?]. Continue Reading →
