Your vagina will tell you when a relationship is over.

When deciding whether to end a relationship, some say you should listen to your heart. Others believe the answer lies in your head. But if you ask actress Olivia Wilde, the real oracle is located a bit further south… in your pants.

Ladies: when in doubt, consult your vagina.

“You may be able to convince your relatives at Christmas dinner that everything on the home-front is peachy, but you cannot lie to your vagina,” Olivia told the audience at These Girls, a monologue night hosted by Glamour magazine on Monday. She was referring to the end of her eight-year marriage to Italian prince Tao Ruspoli. The couple divorced last year.

“I felt like my vagina died. Turned off. Lights out … When I finally told her it was probably time to split, she looked up at me and said ‘Ya think?’”

Well, apparently we haven’t been giving our vaginas enough credit. Perhaps they could have a stern word to our hearts every now and then and remind them to stop pursuing wildly inappropriate men. That would be nice.

Speaking to Vulture after the event, she elaborated on her monologue:

“Sometimes your vagina dies,” she says. “Then you know it’s time to go. There’s no reason to sacrifice your womanhood and femininity for some sort of weird feeling of responsibility to something that may not be right. I feel like far too many women do that.” Also, “[Men] are not allowed to be the only ones thinking with their genitals. We think with our pussies.”

Interesting. And the frank confessions didn’t end there. Apparently Olivia and her current boyfriend, Saturday Night Live’s Jason Sudeikis, “have sex like Kenyan marathon runners”. Sounds exhausting, but we guess that means her vagina’s back in the game.

Oh, and did we mention Jason was in the audience too?

Olivia then went on to propose a solution to monogamy in the form of Olivia Land, her own relationship Utopia with some rather unique views on love and commitment. Like in Olivia Land, relationships only last for 7 years.

From Vulture:

In Olivia Land, relationships can legally only last seven years, without an option to renew. That way it never goes stale. Can you imagine, if we only had seven years? We’d be so nice to each other, so kind, and appreciative and enthusiastic, like we were eating a really expensive bowl of pasta!

Let’s just say, if Olivia decided to write a relationship advice book it would be worth reading.

What do you think – should we listen to our vaginas more often? Do you think 7-year relationships be the solution to all our problems?
