Antelope Women: The One Type Not Identified by the Vulva

Eight of the nine types in this framework are identified by something you would see looking directly at the vulva. Lip size, lip shape, hood length, the distance between clitoris and opening.

The northeast entry is the exception. Amara Charles names the Antelope Woman's distinguishing feature further back: the distance between the vaginal opening and the anus. She gives it as roughly four to five fingers, and adds that there are typically wrinkles in the skin around the anus.

It is a strange thing to build a type on, and it points at a piece of anatomy almost nobody is ever invited to think about. That distance, the perineum, genuinely does vary from person to person, by more than most people would guess, and a long one is no more remarkable than a short one.

Between Wolf and Deer

Charles arranges nine types on a wheel. Antelope sits at the northeast, between Wolf in the North and Deer in the East, and takes from both. Each of those cardinal types has its own article in this series.

Blends only happen between neighbours, so the two cardinals either side of a point are the only possible parents of the type sitting there. No type mixes Wolf with Sheep, or Deer with Buffalo, because those sit opposite each other on the wheel. Four cardinals plus four neighbour-blends plus one centre is where the number nine comes from.

Charles also treats the blended types differently on the page: a short entry listing direction, physical features and temperament, where the cardinal types get long blocks of finger distances and depths. This article is brief because the source is.

The anatomy

Lips. Thin and delicate, as in the Deer description, but spreading into the small butterfly-wing shape the Wolf description is built on. Two ends of a range at once, which is exactly what a blend is supposed to be, and both features are common in ordinary bodies. If the question underneath your reading is whether yours are normal, the broader answer is in Are My Labia Normal? The Honest Answer.

Inside. Can be fairly deep, on the Deer side. The sensitive front-wall area sits about midway back.

Lubrication. Described as a pattern rather than a level: sometimes dry as arousal starts, then extremely wet. Anyone whose own wetness varies by day, by cycle and by circumstance will recognise that this is simply how the tissue behaves rather than a type marker.

Perineum. The clitoris-to-opening distance dominates the rest of the framework; here it is the opening-to-anus distance that gets named, as above.

As with the other three blended types, Charles says a woman may have the internal features of one neighbour and the external features of the other, or the reverse.

She also files a claim about orgasm under distinguishing features, and hedges it immediately herself. She says Antelope Women have the quickness she attributes to Deer Women and so reach multiple orgasms more easily, then says directly that all women have that capacity and that these two types only access it more easily. That hedge is hers and worth preserving, because it is one of the very few places in the chapter where a type-specific claim is turned back into a general one.

The character material, which is Charles's

Northeast, in her wheel, is the place of focus, relaxation and the design of energy, and she describes Antelope Women as choreographers: sensuous artists in motion, elegant, nimble, naturally flirtatious, with a flair for adventure and a relentless appetite for pleasure and knowledge.

Her central image is the prong, the jump antelope make with all four feet off the ground at once. She calls Antelope Women jumpers, and says what takes one over the edge is change. Her practical corollary is about variation: alter the speed, the position and the kind of touch, and surprise her.

She leans hard on a captivity analogy, noting that no antelope species has ever been domesticated and that a fenced antelope will injure itself trying to get out. From that she asserts a disdain for routine and says an Antelope Woman flourishes with multiple attractions. That is a claim about temperament inside her system. It is not advice, and it is not a description of anybody's obligations.

The challenge she sets is the mirror of it: tolerating small incremental change instead of fleeing what she has decided is boring, and staying close to the people she loves rather than leaping. The sounds she names for an Antelope Woman's pleasure are the Songs of Heaven.

Read it, then decide for yourself

Charles's own method is self-identification. She says a genital type cannot easily be seen, that identifying one means weighing internal and external features together, alone with a mirror or with a partner, and that the anatomy and the described qualities can come apart completely.

Which is the right note to end on for the one type in the set whose defining feature is somewhere you have probably never looked. Bodies vary, everywhere, including the parts nobody made a fuss about. The rest of this is a system, and it is one author's.
