Abbie Chatfield has slammed a since-removed video on TikTok that featured three British men discussing their preferences when it comes to female genitalia.

The clip – posted by account @asklustcast, which has also been taken off the platform – showed a segment of the men’s podcast, where they declared, among other things, that they prefer a “nude, completely shaven woman” with “what you’d call just a slit” – saying anything other than that “makes me absolutely vomit”.

Male and female users on TikTok were rightfully outraged, with thousands cutting their disgusted reactions with @asklustcast’s video.

And Chatfield reacted in a similar way, dedicating much of this week’s episode of her podcast, It’s A Lot, to the foul segment.

“This is what the world needs, three men sitting around discussing what hair they like,” she said during her discussion with It’s A Lot producer, Lem Zakharia, before referring to the “old man” host who social media users have dubbed “the crypt keeper”.

“Thank you f***ing Gerald. 75 years old. Can you imagine your grandpa sitting there speaking about how he likes no [inner labia] and shaven? … Ew! Ew! F**k off.

“Also are you telling me that you three losers, if you had the chance to be near any kind of p**sy, you would say, ‘Oh not for me, flaps too big, hair too long’. I think you’d do anything.”

As Zakharia pointed out, “already women, for years, have been told bad sh*t about their vulvas”.

Doctors have reported a rise in recent years in girls being depressed by the appearance of their vagina and vulva, while those as young as nine ask to have their labia shortened (a procedure known as a labiaplasty). And the “vaginal hygiene” business continues to boom, despite experts repeated assertions that most of the things it peddles are not necessary.

“They do not need you to continue this whole rhetoric,” Zakharia said, adding that if the three @asklustcast hosts were so particular about the kind of female genitalia they deemed worthy, they could “go to a car and f**k an exhaust engine”.

“When you review vulvas all the time, it makes women so insecure. Just f***ing stop doing it. Because [we] see it everywhere – in porn, everywhere, [that] it has to ‘look’ a certain way.”

Chatfield agreed, adding that this sense of shame “contributes a lot to people with vaginas not being able to orgasm as easily, because they feel disconnected”.

“And it might not even a conscious, like, ‘I’m embarrassed’. You might not feel connected to your p**sy because you’re constantly being sent these messages from these men that something is ‘right’ or ‘wrong’, like [your vagina] is its own sentient being,” she said.

“Like you said, all these reviews – we actually don’t need to care what other people think. It should be a connection with your genitals.”

Zakharia added that “porn – not all porn obviously, just the mainstream sh*t” contributes to young men thinking that all vulvas are “shaven, and shiny, and seal-y”.

“And I think that the constant rhetoric around it, even if [men] didn’t feel that way about hair or about labia, they speak about it and they have these jokes and this kind of culture of making fun of or reviewing other people’s genitals and then it becomes ingrained in them,” Chatfield agreed.

“And it’s obviously learned behaviour, but I feel that they’d almost feel ashamed for being OK with something their mates are making fun of, but their mates are making fun of it because they’ve seen it on the internet. Like, why do you actually care?”

She concluded that for some men, “because they think that the boys don’t like saggy t*ts and they think that the boys don’t like hair … they don’t want to f**k someone that the boys wouldn’t be ‘impressed’ with”.

“So if you’re younger and you’re listening … and you’re insecure about your genitals for whatever reason, just remember that if someone is offput by them, then they’re the embarrassing one and they’re the freak,” Chatfield said.

“And I promise you actual adult people don’t care about the appearance of genitals.”
