Sweden has an unofficial new term for female
masturbation, it is “klittra.”
“Klittra” is a combination of two words,
“clitoris” (klitoris) and “glitter” (glittra.)
The coinage came as a solution to a problem
that was brought forward in last year when a
lady called Kristina Ljungros, the spokeswoman
of the Swedish Association for Sexuality
Education (RFSU), pointed out that there is no
specific term for female masturbation.
“When it comes to masturbation, people mostly
think about just men doing it and we don’t
think of it as common for women. If we don’t
have a word in the language, how can we even
talk about it?”
As a proactive measure, they had women
submit ideas for a new way to describe female
pleasure/masturbation.
Out of over 1,200 responses, “klittra” was the
winner, other names submitted included “pulla,”
“runka” and “selfa.”
Concerning the new term which the RFSU is
trying to get into Sweden’s dictionary, Kristina
says;
“We are trying to put sexuality on the agenda
— the positive aspects, we want to focus on
the good parts, the lust.”
Congrats to Sweden for finally putting female
pleasure on the map.
