Many women may think that their vagina warrants an emergency doctor’s visit, but they could simply be demonstrating sexual autonomy/pleasure. Read this list to determine if you need a prescription — or if you just need to keep getting it, girl!

Bacterial Vaginosis: An overgrowth of “bad” bacteria, outnumbering the “good.”

Wet-Ass Pussy: A natural outgrowth of a bad bitch.

Bacterial vaginosis is caused when the natural balance of the vagina is upset. A wet-ass pussy, on the other hand, comes with the realization that much of life cannot be reduced to “good” and “bad” in the traditional sense, especially when it comes to women and their many forms of self-empowerment. (And your pussy can be gushy whether it’s “natural” or not!)

Bacterial Vaginosis: An inflammation of your vagina that can cause a foul-smelling “fishy” odor, itching, and burning.

Wet-Ass Pussy: The woman might be described as “nasty,” but her vagina smells good, tastes good, and makes him want to put his face in it.

This may seem straight-forward, but we recognize that an accurate self-diagnosis can be difficult to achieve, especially when monitoring other symptoms. For example: do you have a fever (symptom of BV), or are you just hot as fuck (tell-tale sign of WAP)? Of course, bacterial vaginosis is often due to new/multiple sex partners — whereas a wet-ass pussy is all you, boo. In both cases, sometimes it is necessary to minimize the vaginal irritation that others might cause, and instead opt for some self-treatment.

Bacterial Vaginosis: Will require a doctor’s prescription of antibiotics.

Wet-Ass Pussy: Can be cleaned up with a bucket and mop (common household equipment).

Additionally, if you have a wet-ass pussy, you might direct your partner to “beat it up” and “catch a charge”; in this case, you are not referring to off-color vaginal discharge, which is a sign of bacterial vaginosis.

After reading this list, if you feel certain you’ve got a wet-ass pussy, you can continue to “ride that dick” as you please. However, if there’s a chance it’s bacterial vaginosis, you should seek medical attention to prevent transmitting the infection to your partner. Either way, stay away from the douches!
