Taint Misbehavin’: The Gender-Neutral Tragedy of the Human Gooch
Let’s not dance around it. Let’s not whisper like this is health class with a priest in the back row. Let’s walk straight into the fleshy Bermuda Triangle and ask:
“Is the word ‘taint’ gender-specific?”
And by the end of this hellride, you’ll be spiritually aligned, anatomically educated, and emotionally compromised.
Let’s get it out of the way:
Medical term: perineum
Street name: taint
Alias: gooch, grundle, the devil’s slip-n-slide, sin canal, the no-fly zone, the forbidden footpath
It’s the stretch of skin between your hoo-ha and your oh-no. Between the exit wound and the splash zone. Between your business and your past due notices.
In medical terms:
“The perineum is the area between the anus and the genitals.” In real terms: “The taint taint your genitals, and it taint your butthole.” Hence: taint.
It’s an anatomical gray area. A biological liminal space. A no-man’s-land paved in skin, sweat, and shame.
“Do women have one?”
Yes. Yes, they do. Unequivocally. Universally. Unapologetically.
That smooth criminal between the peach and the portal? That’s a taint.
Whether you’re packing meat or melons, bulge or buffet, beef curtain or bologna pony — you got a taint.
Let’s be fair. The term taint got famous via male-coded locker room vernacular. It traveled in sweaty gym bags next to Axe body spray and bad decisions. It’s been used in:
Xbox Live lobbies
Middle school roast battles
Joe Rogan monologues
Divorce court
Why?
Because it’s hilarious.
Say it out loud: TAINT. It hits like a cartoon punch. It sounds dirty, but vague. You can say it on TV but not in church.
But just because the culture gave the word to men… Doesn’t mean the anatomy is exclusive.
You know what else taint the butthole or the vag? That smooth little fleshy runway between the two.
That’s right.
That’s the taint.
Scientifically? Still called the perineum. But culturally?
We never branded it.
Never gave it a nickname.
Never gave it the comedic reverence it deserves.
So what happened?
Society failed the female taint.
Let’s review:
Boobs: check
Butt: covered
Clit: overanalyzed
Labia: poetic if you're a feminist or an art student
Taint: absolute radio silence
It’s the only part of the female anatomy that hasn’t been objectified, hypersexualized, or used in a Billie Eilish metaphor.
And that’s the tragedy.
We gave the taint to men and let women walk around with an unclaimed flesh strip of mystery.
Not anymore.
The taint is the only body part that:
Isn’t gendered
Isn’t politicized (yet)
Isn’t Instagrammable
Isn’t sacred
Isn’t slutty
Isn’t shamed
Isn’t holy
It’s just… there. Raw. Unfiltered. Indifferent.
And that’s why it’s beautiful.
It taint one thing. It taint another. It’s both. It’s neither. It’s us.
Gooch
Grundle
Fleshbridge
Forbidden Fajita
The No-No Tundra
The UnderCooch
Devil’s Hallway
Sin Sled
Emotionless Alley
The Oathbreaker’s Strip
Let’s take back the language. Let’s name the female undercarriage. Let’s democratize the grundle.
Male or female — taint funk is real.
That’s where:
Gym shorts go to die
Sweat turns into regret
Body wash loses its nerve
You don’t need a gender-specific care routine. You need a loofah, some humility, and the knowledge that if your taint smells like old garlic knots, you’re the problem.
Ask any feminist, activist, or gender studies professor:
❓ “Do women have a taint?” ❓ “Can we say gooch in a female context?” ❓ “If ‘taint’ only applies to men, are we guilty of linguistic patriarchy?” ❓ “Can you reclaim your power if you haven’t acknowledged the zone between zones?”
Watch the hesitation.
Because when it comes to taint talk, everyone’s a coward.
Not you.
You’re still reading. You’re brave. You believe in gooch equity.
“Taint” = slang for perineum, the strip of skin between genitals and butthole.
Scientifically accurate for both men and women.
Culturally, it’s been branded as male — but that’s a lie.
The female taint is real. Untouched. Sacred. Neglected. Powerful.
It’s time to stop acting like the perineum is a gendered mystery.
It taint male. It taint female. It’s humanity’s final frontier.

I think if Shen Yuan was put into the same position as Shen Jiu (no reincarnation bs) he would turn out similar if not the same
Anon:
You kinda just say things don't you
Its My Blog Stupid Fuck
adding to this cause I don't think you guys understand how feral I am about this series I am holding these characters in my teeth and shaking. Anyways.
Both are possibly the biggest bitches ever. You just know Shen Yuan's comments were lethal, my guy was probably the highlight of the novel, remember Shang Qinghua remembered him like 40+ years later, and I do imagine that Shen Qingqiu, the peak lord of the pro smartass club and former street rat knew how to pack a mean insult.
They both had the choice to leave something they hated (Shen Yuan actively chose to read pidw despite how much of a failure it was, down with the ship kinda behaviour and you know who else chooses to stick with something despite how much it's (he's) failing him eh eh eh)
both of them would rather die than talk about their feelings like normal people
Shen Yuan and Shen Qingqiu both get violent urges Shen Qingqiu just gets them more. Shen Yuan has managed to focus it on Shang Qinghua.
I think if Shen Yuan was put into the same position as Shen Jiu (no reincarnation bs) he would turn out similar if not the same
Imagine this: I die dramatically in your arms, you convince my parents we were lesbians, you go on to live the rest of your life single, claiming to be too heartbroken to ever get over me, except, you're actually angry because my death was no accident, so you spend years planning a sinister revenge and when you complete it you die and your final request is to be buried at my side
I think if Shen Yuan was put into the same position as Shen Jiu (no reincarnation bs) he would turn out similar if not the same

I think it's really funny but also really frustrating how liu mingyan (a really great but also unfortunately really minor character) has a named sword over shang qinghua (a fairly major character with FOUR extras all to himself) .... maybe i am just too obsessed with weaponry but idk it's kinda sad 🙁🙁🙁🙁 like even if he doesn't use it he should still have one because if we go off mdzs logic it's rude not to bring a sword to conferences and gatherings and shit ..... like i know he's the mousy little boy archetype but Stilllllll😭😭😭😭 hes a Peak Lord and i'm sure if the scholarly peak have to learn how to fight then so does logistics...
Anyway forgive me for using genshin as an example but i feel like his sword would kind of look like a mix between the silver sword (unsheathed) and bichen from the mdzs donghua (sheathed)...? i think it would have a gem on the tip wheee rhe black part of the silver sword is and also a white line going through the middle though.... i also think the handle detail would be like suihua but have patterns like bichen.... the bottom of suihuas handle is definegly how i imagine it though and his tassel and sheath would be white-yellow gradient with some yellow embroidered square connected to it as a homage to his psyduck keychain from the modern day. i think his sheath would also have some sort of design going down it?
i think before he met mobei jun it was really disgustingly dusty but after he met him mobei started judging him for his disgusting ass sword... one of them gave him a scary look so he reconciled that pretty fast afterwards LOLLLL and then when he shows yuan he's probably like Man it's so clean and qinghuas like don't fucking start and yuans like No i'm fr you fucking idiot and qinghuas like Oh wow thanks man and then starts traumadumping about the evil look mobei gave him LOLLLLLL
IDK it's not that serious but TO ME IT ISSSSSS😞😞😞😞
Luo Binghe and Liu Qingge should get married if they hate each other so much
I've been haiku'd I've made it in life
Obsessed with Xie Lan as a character. Like I know everyone reads these books for the romance but the individual character concepts are hilarious.
Xie Lan is a prince. He eats poison on the reg. He’s forever stuck looking like he’s nineteen. He’s the oldest guy in the communication array. He knows kung fu. He dressed in drag to catch a ghost on two separate unrelated occasions. He’s the world greatest detective. He’s kind. He was forced into a trolley problem and chose to pull the lever. His cooking is awful to the point it could kill a god. He’s kind. He tried to give CPR to a ghost. He’s the unluckiest man alive. He’s been kicked out of heaven multiple times. He’s kind. He caught a kid from certain death and everyone was pissed at him forever about it. He regrets nothing but coming back to heaven.
