One of the many great things about vaginas is that they come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. And as you can see in our Frisky Friday Top Five: How to say vagina without saying vagina, nicknames and slang terms for them are just as diverse. (That said, can we all agree never to say “sausage wallet” in the bedroom?)

PS—Did you know that March is Vulval Health Awareness Month? It’s part of a campaign to raise awareness about vulval cancer.

5 Songs with Superstar Condom Cameos

Yikes. Ray Stephens from Have Sex Standing Up is pretttyyy ticked off. He can’t believe that a significant number of folks know little or nothing about condoms. Do you know who does? Musicians! There are lots of song lyrics that mention condoms. Since we can’t send iPods to the uninformed masses, here are the lyrics to those catchy condom tunes. I think that they’ll remember “jimmy hats” much better now.

And don’t have sex if she’s too gone/when it comes to condoms put two on (trust me)-–“I Love College,” Asher Roth

Rapper Asher Roth seems to have the right intention, but I hope the mention of using two condoms is metaphorical since two is NOT better than one when it comes to condoms (in fact, it’s worse).

And I said uhhhh, you are like the type of girl I like…/I said hold on/and it won’t take long /baby put this put this put this rubber on!—“Rubber On,” Pitbull

Pitbull uses a weapon of mass protection in the heat (Miami heat?) of the moment. Smart man!

All the better to love you with!/No glove, no love/if you don’t believe me-–“Evil Boy,” Die Antwoord

A self-explanatory line from South African rap trio Die Antwoord—no cuddling without condoms.

And she say I got great sex/Safe sex is great sex, better wear a latex/’cause you don’t want that late text/that “I think I’m late,” text…so wrap it up!-–“Lollipop (Remix),” Lil’ Wayne

Brilliant wordplay (before foreplay) from the self-proclaimed best rapper alive. Weezy F. Baby doesn’t want another baby, so he rightfully wraps it up.

I went to the free clinic, it was filled to capacity/now how bad can a piece of a** be?/Very bad, so I had to make the trip/and thank God, I didn’t have the drips/I was there so a h** couldn’t gimme that/just to get - twenty free jimmy hats-–“Look Who’s Burnin’,” Ice Cube

What’s cooler than cool? Rapper Ice Cube dishing about his trip to a health clinic for “jimmy hats.” (And it comes full circle.)
