Does everybody have a Yoni?
No, only about 50% of the human population has a Yoni. Please note that you cannot immediately guess by looking at a person if they have a Yoni or not.
Do all Yonis look alike?
No, quite the opposite, all Yonis are unique, just like your fingerprints.
Is it difficult to do a Yoni cast?
If you follow the instructions carefully you should be able to succeed even without previous training. Remember to read the instructions thoroughly, at least once before starting to work.

What do I do with my Yoni cast once it’s ready?
You can paint it any colour you want, or just leave it as it is. It is easy to paint on plaster, any type of paint attaches to the surface. You can glue it on a background piece of Masonite or cardboard (use traditional wood glue or paper glue from the hobby shop) and frame it, or in a viewer with glass and frame, like I did with the 100 casts in the project Exhibitionists Anonymous .
Why is it important to show your Yoni to other people, isn’t it a very personal and private body part?
In some societies is it considered very bad and shameful to show the Yoni. These norms are often described in the kind of words used in the question above. There are circumstances where you have to show your Yoni (for a medical exam, for instance) and others where you must not. There are always exceptions and the situation can sometimes become quite complicated if you do not follow the cultural norms and rules. Remember that these rules have been invented by humans and that they vary over time and place. I feel that it’s important to find possibilities to see what Yonis look like for a number of reasons; the main reason is that it can be empowering.
You can keep your Yoni cast hidden in a drawer; you don’t need to show it to anybody. It can be your very own treasure.
Are all Yonis beautiful?
There is no objective way to define beauty, but if you ask me personally, the answer is OH YES, THEY ARE EXQUISITE!
Why do you use the word Yoni?
Yoni is an old Sanskrit word from ancient India, which not only describes the Vulva, but also the sacred creative principle.
In her book “VAGINA, a new biography”, Naomi Wolf writes:
…a woman’s cultural ‘take’ on her vagina also shapes her brain.
If a woman hears about her vagina as a ‘gash’ or a ‘slit’ all her life, then that perception of her vagina will become neurally encoded in her brain; whereas if she hears about it, for example, as ‘the jade gate’, her brain shapes itself and her perceptions around that sensibility. In Han dynasty China (206 BCE – 220 CE) or India fifteen hundred years ago or in thirteenth-century Japan, when the vagina was portrayed as the most sacred spot in the most sacred temple in a sacred universe, that was how women’s brains experienced their vaginas.
