Orchids and Anatomy
Female Orchid Classification System
Why Orchids
So why refer to pussy as orchids? Don’t get me wrong, pussy is a great word, but it’s a generic collective noun meaning all the parts of the pussy, but it doesn’t convey the intricacies or the diversity of its form. It’s like using the word head or face – more a description of a collection of features and where it is on the body, but not much else.
In considering a better name for pussy, many artists and artist photographers have referred to pussy as “a flower”. Better, but still too generic. But a flower called an orchid conjures up a much better, more specific image. Consider for instance, that the family of orchids has been classified into 880 genera (genus) and over 25,000 distinct species. A definition for orchids is “… that usually have showy 3-petaled flowers with the middle petal enlarged into a lip and differing from the others in shape and color.” The metaphorical implication of a pussy having two labium minora and a clitoris make orchids, in their seemingly endless diversity, the perfect metaphor for pussy.
An additional motive for calling pussy an orchid is that the Female Orchid Classification System (FOCS) needs a more polite name to go mainstream public e.g. like Viagra being politely synonymous with limp dick disorder.
From this point forward in the documentation, human female genitalia i.e. pussy, is called orchids plural or an orchid for singular. Additionally, the underline convention is used to highlight the first use of a new word used to describe an orchid principle, part or description in the succeeding sections of FOCS.
Anatomy Review
Before we cut to the chase and define what the problem is to be solved, we need a brief review of basic orientation and anatomical features of human female genitalia as a baseline. This is illustrated in the following examples below.
Note in the pictures above and in subsequent images, in frontal views of orchid images, left-right is reversed. For example, a left labium minora is shown on the right side of the image.
In the anatomical frame of reference, the common vocabulary primarily consists of labia majora and minora, clitoris, hood, glans, urethra and vagina. There are of course a plethora of technical terms like vulval vestibule that can roll off the tongues of anatomists and OBGYN’s. However, the majority of the men and women on the street wouldn’t know the more technical anatomical terms beyond the common, nor are they likely to ever use them.
The FOCS system primarily uses these anatomical terms as cornerstone terminology upon which additional FOCS terminology is built upon. For example, make-up artists have their own vernacular about the products / techniques they use and where to apply them. They use their own vernacular but refer to facial areas like eyebrows, eyelids, cheeks, chin, forehead etc. as to where the makeup is applied.
