The bare-down-there pudenda trend has persisted into the 2010s, although really, fluctuations in pubic hair styles are not a new thing.

While I accept that she is modest, covering her pudenda with a swirl of her head hair, she doesn't strike me as ashamed of her nakedness.

If not, it is concealed by a standardized vocabulary of decorous, side-saddle body positions or by fluttering drapery that adheres by a strange magnetism to the pudenda.

Valupro had promised value—or, per its name, "valu"—but not to its customers, who would see their pharmacy bills explode if they happened to be ill with some exotic but deadly disease of the tailbone or pudenda.

One of them, dating to 1997, pictures a young woman suspended from a roof beam, her expression glacial, her hair swept into the geisha's chignon known as the shimada, her pudenda only partly covered by a blooming tiger lily.

He argued that non-white races were inferior and closer to the primitive due to their skin pigmentation, and that women resembled the darker races because their bodies revealed areas of darker pigmentation: "the areola round the nipple, the pudenda, and the verge of the anus", especially as seen in pregnant women.

Another mourns the separation from "his girl Sal". These hint at the internal erotic fantasies that prisoners use to separate themselves from the harsh prison environment. In this meaning the old triangle becomes the female pudenda and the Royal Canal the vagina. As with many Irish ballads, the lyrics have been changed with each passing cover.

Use of the word "hermaphrodite" in the medical literature has persisted to this day, although its propriety is still in question. An alternative system of nomenclature has been recently suggested, but the subject of exactly which word or words should be used in its place still one of much debate. "Pudenda pseudo-hermaphroditi ovini." Illustration of ambiguous genitalia from Frederik Ruysch’s Thesaurus Anitomicus Octavius, 1709.

The Edsel Auctioneer were a band formed in Leeds in 1988 by Ashley Horner (guitar/ vocals), Phil Pettler (bass/ vocals), Aidan Winterburn (vocals, guitar) and Chris Cooper (drums). They were named after the ill-fated Ford automobile whose front grille was supposed to have resembled a woman's pudenda. Best friends with Pale Saints, they lived on the same street in Leeds, Harold Avenue (which spawned the so-called Voice of the Harolds).

Recent scholars such as Christine Mitchel Havelock have argued that statues with the Pudica posture illustrated a feminine sexuality rooted in passivity, vulnerability, and shame. The hand covering her pudenda may be regarded as an act of external control in ancient Greek mythology and philosophy. For example, Aristotle writes of the concept of sophrosyne or the "soundness of mind" "Soundness of Mind" (). (sophrosyne:"σωφροσύνη δέ ἀρετή δἰ ἥν πρός τάς ἡδονάς τοῦ σώματος οὕτως ἔχουσιν ὡς ὁ νόμος κελευει, ἀκολασία δέ τοὐναντίον," in his Rhetoric.

The jailer and his wife examined the corpses. Historian Jim Kermode argues that the discovery of a witches' mark (also known as a "devil's mark") was important legal proof at this period in England. "[I]t gradually became accepted that the mark, with women, most commonly took the form of a teat-like growth in the pudenda". This tale of the jailer's postmortem examination has been widely quoted in modern scholarship, for example with reference to the animal/human divide, the "sado-erotic fascination of the witches' teat", and particularly in feminist interpretations of the Early Modern witch trials.

This was followed by the Alab Petroglyphs, dated not later than 1500 BC, which exhibited symbols of fertility such as a pudenda. The art rock arts are petrographs, including the charcoal rock art from Peñablanca, charcoal rock art from Singnapan, red hematite art at Anda, and the recently discovered rock art from Monreal (Ticao), depicting monkeys, human faces, worms or snakes, plants, dragonflies, and birds. Between 890–710 BC, the Manunggul Jar was made in southern Palawan. It served as a secondary burial jar, where the top cover depicting the journey of the soul into the afterlife through a boat with a psycopomp.

Although this term refers to a specific sex act between women today, in the past it was commonly used to describe female-female sexual love in general, and women who had sex with women were called Tribads or Tribades. As author Rictor Norton explains: > The tribas, lesbian, from Greek tribein, to rub (i.e. rubbing the pudenda > together, or clitoris upon pubic bone, etc.), appears in Greek and Latin > satires from the late first century. The tribade was the most common > (vulgar) lesbian in European texts for many centuries. ‘Tribade’ occurs in > English texts from at least as early as 1601 to at least as late as the mid- > nineteenth century before it became self-consciously old-fashioned—it was in > current use for nearly three centuries.

Ebers Papyrus from the National Library of Medicine The Ebers Papyrus is an Egyptian medical text and is the oldest known record of the human body, dating back to 3000 BC. The Ebers Papyrus describes the body by physical examination and what can be felt. Clinical investigations such as the Pulse, percussion of the body, the recognition of diseased or disordered states. “If thou examinst a swelling of the covering of his belly’s horns above his pudenda (sex organs) then thou shalt place thy finger on it and examine his belly and knock on the fingers (percuss) if thou examinst his that has come out and has arisen by his cough. Then thou shalt say concerning it: it is a swelling of the covering of his belly. It is a disease which I will treat”.

The initiates would have moved to a building where the actual initiation took place at night with torches, though archaeologists are unsure of which building it was considering the abundance of possibilities including the Hall of Choral Dancers, the Hieron, the Anaktoron and the Rotunda of Arsinoe II. In the 3rd century, Hippolytus of Rome in his Refutation of All Heresies quotes a Gnostic author who provides a summary of some of the images here; > There stand two statues of naked men in the Anaktoron of the Samothracians, > with both hands stretched up toward heaven and their pudenda turned up, just > as the statue of Hermes at Kyllene. The aforesaid statues are images of the > primal man and of the regenerated, spiritual man who is in every respect > consubstantial with that man. The scarcity of information precludes understanding what went on during the initiation, though there may have been dancing such as at Eleusis associated with the mythology of the search for Harmonia. At the end of the initiation, the initiates were given a purple fillet.
