What a pussy looks like to a gay man

As the project is currently involved in a Kickstarter campaignThe Huffington Post chatted with the pair this week how the project got started, what's surprised them the most and more. It started a totally vaginal conversation in a restaurant full of children and families -- fun stuff.

Other than hearing the occasional rude or reductive comment like "she's loose" or "she's tight" from men, most of us don't know what type of vaginas we have, or even that different types exist. For a time he identified as bisexual because he’s into men generally and he’s into many some common features of women like vaginas.

After I saw Chris's drawing my instinct was ask him to do a few more with the same feel, just for fun, especially since I had heard him talk about how he never had time to do his own artwork. The accuracy left a bit to be desired but the.

After a few unenlightened comments came out of the mouths of the gay men, Shannon asked me to draw a vagina on the table with a crayon. Keith Wilson: Three years ago, we were at a restaurant with a bunch of other homos and the topic of vaginas came up.

So what happens when you ask a gay man to sit down and draw one? Just had a guy ask me “You wanna see my hole? No, I do not want to see your hole if it looks like a pussy. The night was filled with vag chat. He'd drawn a crotch covered by a Facebook "like" button.

He thought that was funny, and later showed me his piece.

What rsquo s up

Wilson and O'Malley: We just want reactions. I just loved it. But now he just identifies as gay, because he figured that his preference for men is super strong to the point that he only ever dates men, and the only people with vaginas he’d consider dating are trans men.
