And no, it doesn’t sound like the resounding clang of bedroom doors being slammed shut by pre-adolescent tweens who’re in hysterics that their true love might just be — gasp — gay, ’cause I don’t think that’s what this is about. At all.
Robert Pattinson, most notably known for his role in the Twilight series speaks to Details magazine about everything from gravy fries to his distaste for vagina. Pattinson is all over this month’s edition of Details with an in-depth interview and a rather bawdy photo shoot involving multiple nude women. You’d think that the latter would be the everyman’s dream but Pattinson stops this notion dead at the door by saying that he “really hates vaginas” and thinks that he’s “allergic” to them as well. He goes on to state that the only thing that made the entire ordeal tolerable was the fact that he was hung over.
Naturally, there’s a lot of backlash on and about over the actor’s comments. A lot of women consider it to be a hugely derogatory insult and that Pattinson is giving women complexes about their vaginas. They’re gross, they smell, they look funny, et cetera; the list shall, I’m sure, go on and on and on.
I, personally, am not about to get myself all hyped up over what Edward Cullen has to say about vaginas. Women have vaginas. All of ‘em.
I’m not buying into what he’s saying as creed because I think it’s completely asinine. He comes off as a self-centered ingrate who should be lucky to have exposure to so much vagina and he plays it off just as That Guy would who talks about a woman he’s slept with in the locker room. That’s precisely what it is. He’s a good talker with a bad set of communication skills and an innate knowledge of what’s going to cause waves in the placid pool of vagina-holders.
For Pattinson to make such a comment that women could possibly take as upsetting — “Oh, my God, my vagina is weird … It might smell funny. Is my labia as big as hers? Is there something wrong with mine?” — is unsafe. And not only is it unsafe, it’s dumb.
Like I said. Pattinson is a kid in many senses. He’s twenty-three. I’m only a few years older than he is, but I can tell you: he’s going to look back upon this interview in a few decades and laugh at himself so ladies, let’s do him a favor and laugh at him now; he may as well get used to it.
As if you need any reassuring, your vaginas are beautiful — all of them. They’re the best vaginas you’re ever going to have and that’s a wonderful thing. We’re all fundamentally built the same and it’s something to embrace, acknowledge and accept. Don’t let some blood-sucking head case with a serious ego problem allow you to think otherwise.

my ex didnt like the vag. I liked the way it felt but not looked, tasted, smelt etc. in his porn, all the girls had knickers on!
Are you dumb? Read the interview again. The dude was making a joke.
Guess the nuances of creative wordplay are lost upon you, oh-one-that-can’t-spell-her-own-name. Ass.
Most of the sites I’ve read today are making out like he’s gay and this is his coming out.
I suspect Debb is right and he’s trying to be funny. And that’s painful because he’s a terrible actor and even worse at comedy. I’ve seen Twilight, How to Be, and Little Ashes and he was astoundingly awful in each.
He was particularly offensively bad as Salvador Dali in Little Ashes. That being said, Javier Beltran was magnificent as Federico Garcia Lorca.
I guess it’s a good thing I don’t give a damn what comes out of his mouth….
He, who has something hanging from his crotch that looks like the chicken neck I feed to my dog every morning, is complaining about the neatly folded and tucked in female genitalia? Has he looked in the mirror whilst naked?
Well put!
Hahaha! Hear, hear!
If he’s not gay,he might as well be after that statement.
He’s probably just desperate to get those terrifying squealing hordes of bratty entitled teenage girl and middle-aged mom stalkers who think he OWES them something off his back.
I’d say I were allergic to vaginas too if hundreds of them were stalking me every freaking day. ANYTHING TO MAKE THEM GO AWAY. Poor guy.
That was exactly what I thought. I don’t think he meant it to be taken seriously at all (except perhaps by those raving hordes of confused 13 year old girls and their even scarier mothers). I have never seen/read Twilight and have no strong feelings towards this guy whatsoever, but I think people are taking his words out of context. I mean, he’s no John Mayer. He’s just got that British sense of humor.
I have a British sense of humor. I still think Pattinson is a complete tool. He’s a smarmy git.
*shrugs* I honestly don’t know jack-shit about him, except that he’s British, was in some vampire movie, and looks like he doesn’t bathe. I have no real interest in stinky man-boys.
But I can see Sarah’s point here. Tweenage girls love stinky smarmy man-boys for reasons beyond my ken, and they obviously won’t all understand British humor (although I’m more inclined to imagine these girls misinterpreting this statement as his “coming out” and weeping over that, rather than their inferring any derogatory comment about droopy labia).
Look, if the guy you’re getting down and dirty with tells you your vagina is ugly, you’re not the one with the problem. I have yet to meet a straight, healthy man who would turn down a lady flower, whether it be a rose or a lily or a goddamn venus flytrap.
Venus flytrap….oh goodness, I’m laughing so hard I’m crying…..thanks for that!

Is there going to be a Zingers Top 10 at the end of the year? Because I nominate this for #1 right now.
Robert Pattinson said WHAT?
I AM SO GOING TO BLOG ABOUT HOW HE IS MAKING WOMEN SUICIDE THEMSELVES
Lol!
options: 1. He is gay 2. He is making a joke 3. He is confused about the functions of sexual organs 4. Asexual 5. virgin
I’m going with 4 and/or 5.
Dry English humor. “Dr. I’m allergic to vaginas! Every time I get near one, I swell up and start to rub myself.” Old joke.
Thank you! I’m tired of having to continually tell people that it’s a very old joke.
I think a lot of the confusion comes from people thinking he’s American and therefore unlikely to have a Carry On sense of humour.
Hahahahahahahaha. Consider that stolen.
Did you even READ the whole interview? He was making a joke about the 12-hour photo shoot with a bunch of naked models.
If you’re going to take on a feminist website, maybe you should read what you’re blogging about, then write your opinion. Way to perpetuate a rumour and jump to conclusions based on….oh right, you didn’t read the whole interview.
Troll.
Whether or not he was making a joke (I don’t know, there’s no way in hell I could force myself to read his entire interview), I find him to be an entirely distasteful, horribly-attired man-pussy.
I, for one, would die a happy man if I could spend one day surrounded by uncovered vaginas. True.
“I think I’m allergic to vagina , my penis “swells up” when around them.” It’s an old British joke. I just happened upon this site by accident and read this and couldn’t believe these comments. Then his comment about thank goodness he was hung over, is he was too hung over to get overly excited.
