Sir, – As an older Irishman, I admit to being pale male and stale, but when I sat down to read my Irish Times over a leisurely breakfast, the discovery of an article that encouraged me to "open up about vaginas and vulvas" (Life, March 8th), suddenly rendered my kipper and scrambled eggs less palatable. Is nothing sacred anymore? Are there no boundaries left at all? If I want anatomy lessons can I not look for a suitable textbook in my local library? – Yours, etc,
