vagina bread

A feminist blogger is making bread using yeast from her own vagina

Yep.

ZOE STAVRI IS a feminist blogger.

A few days ago, she announced that she had thrush and floated the idea of making bread with her vaginal yeast.

She wasn’t joking.

Stavri has started making sourdough bread with yeast extracted from her vagina and is now documenting the whole thing on social media.

She’s even labelled it “c**t sourdough”.

sour

And, er, it appears to be going well.

Over on her blog, Stavers outlined the rationale behind the experiment and the recipe. (In case you want to try it yourself.)

It all started with a fatal combination of a slightly perverse sense of humour, a keenly scientific mind, and touch of the thrush.
… I got curious and the next thing that happened was I was scraping white goop off of a dildo into a bowl of flour mixed with water.

And this is one of the ingredients.

  • As much vaginal yeast as I could scrape off a dildo I put in my vagina–my estimate is that there was about as much of it as would lightly coat a single tine of a fork, and no more.

The whole experiment has elicited quite a reaction on Twitter with many declaring bread to be ruined forever and others wondering, “Why?”

Stavri has expressed shock at the vitriolic reaction the little experiment has received.

So, it seems to have generated rather a lot of disgust. Far more than I expected, to be perfectly honest: I’d expected perhaps the odd “eww” and maybe even an “I wouldn’t eat that that”, but not this, the level of outright horror, as though I’d dismembered a litter of puppies and was posting selfies with a selfie-stick while doing it.

The blogger has pointed out that this is not a “feminist protest” but rather a quirky baking experiment.

She has also pointed out that there’s a distinct possibility the vaginal yeast isn’t even growing in the sourdough, so we might not have any reason to be grossed out at all.

In fact, it’s probable that none of the yeast that is growing originated betwixt my thighs: again, there’s the aforementioned heat issue, and my kitchen is significantly cooler than my c**t.

And she has a message for men who are grossed out by the whole thing.

Before you tweet me to tell me how disgusted you are, let me be clear about one thing: I f**king know. It turns out the world is even more grossed out about minges than I’d previously thought.

Stavri will be documenting the rest of the experiment both on her blog and on Twitter.

We wait with bated breath.
