Thread: I must be getting old - this is a new one on me "Vabbing", well not on me literally

The things people do..... I wonder if its OK to ask a lady if she's vabbed at work or in a social setting?

The disgust over ‘vabbing’ is just another way to demonise women’s bodies

Another day, another bizarre thing women need to do with their vagina. If it’s not steaming the poor thing, it’s hoisting a jade egg inside it. Or spending unnecessary amounts of money on an overpriced douching product – not realising that vaginas are, in fact, self-cleansing – and possibly giving yourself an infection in the process. Maybe you’ve even tried putting a clove of garlic up there. Or a sprig of parsely.

But hold onto your herbs, because there’s something new for you to try: “vabbing”. The term itself is a portmanteau that, put simply, means vaginal dabbing. According to TikTok, where the trend has recently gone viral, the idea is that women are using their bodily fluids as perfume in order to attract others. Yes, really.

In one of the first videos detailing the trend – which has since been deleted – TikTok user and influencer Mandy Lee hailed vabbing as the latest dating hack for women, purporting that it helped her to land dates. "I swear if you vab you will attract people, like a date, [or a one-night stand. Or you’ll just get free drinks all night," she said in the clip, which quickly racked up more than 1.5 million views.

In another video with more than 850,000 views – posted by a user who goes by @palesamoon – one woman recalls a first date with a man who “couldn’t keep his hands” off her. “But I kind of understood,” she says, “because I was doing an experiment that night [...] I decided to use my coochie juice as, like, perfume.” There are now thousands of other videos discussing the practice on the platform, with the hashtag #vabbingperfume acquiring more than 12.9 million views to date.

Like with all TikTok trends, it’s hard to pinpoint exactly when – or how – this one began. But some have traced it back to a podcast episode from 2018 hosted by comedians Carly Aquilino and Emma Willman, in which a listener revealed that she had started using her own fluids as fragrance.

The practice was also given as a handy tip for single women in sexologist Shan Boodram’s 2019 book, The Game of Desire. “If copulins [chemicals secreted by the vagina] are used as perfume, then it will attract anyone traditionally attracted to women with vulvas,” Boodram wrote.

The science behind this is questionable, to say the least. Based on pheromones – the idea that scent plays an integral role in sexual attraction – it’s a highly contested concept that has been under-researched and widely misunderstood ever since it was first identified in 1959.

“Bodily secretions such as vaginal fluids contain pheromones that can convey a range of information about a person, including their genetic makeups,” explain Dr Andrea Wahling and Dr Alexandra James of La Trobe University. “In the animal kingdom, different pheromones can do different things, such as incite a behavioural response. While pheromones play an important role in how animals communicate with each other, research is divided as to whether pheromones play a significant role in sexual and romantic compatibility for humans.”

You live in Thailand, right?

I said to this bird "Can I smell your c u n t?".

She said "CERTAINLY NOT!".

I said "Well it must be your feet then".

There are only two things that smell of fish, and one of them is fish!

In my world, there are women who were born girls and men who were born boys. If any of them want to lop off or add to bits of their body, then that is up to them. But it doesn't change a biological fact.

Never heard of it and don't really care to, sounds gross and weird.
I think Pheromones definitely has something to do with attraction, but wouldn't wear my vaginal secretions to attract a mate. I do like my own smell though lol.

You should try this on AO. Maybe he'll send you a green.

I think that's probably enough internet for today.

Facts and evidence.



Your statement "In my world, there are women who were born girls and men who were born boys. If any of them want to lop off or add to bits of their body, then that is up to them. But it doesn't change a biological fact." is not a correct fact.

The fact is that (except in very rare cases), mammals are born either male or female, with the appropriate genitalia. That's a fact. Lopping off your todger doesn't change that fact. You can call yourself whatever you want, but the facts remain.

why is it a fact ? because you believe it is what the majority accepts ?

Are our antipodean cousins try to re-write science?

It woks for men to. Try not showeing for a few days then run your finger up where the base of the ballsack meets the thigh then rub your finger behind your ear.

^ i'm not sure this is a "how did you meet your wife" thread Cujo. It appears to be an "Aussies grow pussies" thread

simple was probably acceptable in the past for humans , and as for the scientific , there are a number of organisms which do not identify as a gender when they fcuk themselves - kind of similar to smelly poms dating themselves with a dirty sanchez

Quite.

People are free to identify as a fucking pineapple if they want, but they were still born with a penis or a vagina.

You're a man or a woman and if you don't like hearing that from me, you can fuck off.

Bollocks to your ridiculous pronouns.

Fresh as a daisy for the 26th consecutive day and currently eating some nuts of the real gender neutral kind.

Thanks to you, it has crossed my mind not to make it a 27th morning feeling as fresh though.

I'll consider after the gym.
