I'm usually too embarassed to use a name for it when talking with my boyfriend. It makes me feel ridiculous, even with a man I've been with for a long time. I usually just say something like "y'know ... down there?" I also don't really like to talk about things to do with "it". For example, when I'm on my period I'm hesitant to speak the words and will usually try to get him to understand what I mean without having to say it, like "We can't do anything tonight, I'm kind of ... you knowing ... down there."
With my girlfriends though, I use all sorts of awful and funny words for it. Now that I think about it, it seems silly to be embarassed to talk about it with my boyfriend and not with my girl friends, since they're not the ones I'm sleeping with.

The word "time" split its husk; poured its riches over him; and from his lips fell like shells, like shavings from a plane, without his making them, hard, white, imperishable words, and flew to attach themselves to their places in an ode to Time; an immortal ode to Time.
—Virginia Woolf, Mrs Dalloway
