Hello members!!
As this question is not a problem of sex but it is related to some extent on sexual topic.I have observed many times that all the private parts are named on the fruit's name like banana for penis.oranges for boobs and for the other parts many other names like grapes,mausmi,apples etc.
I would like to discuss that why it is named so as when we are in a normal routine & these words are entered in our sentence then definitely we either laugh or feel shame to call the names.
So what is the reason behind this?
sex

Well as this is not a problem & not a serious matter the answer should also funny like this:D So my answer is human love two things the most 1. Food 2. Sex
May be that's why people named their private parts similar to their favorite fruits like woman love cock & they call it banana because both are similar in shape & size almost. Man love boobs & boobs are as round as oranges & both are juicy too. Nipples are similar in shape as grapes. So this is the reason.

I guess the names used tat of fruits is because of the shaped with which it resemble. If we observed not only fruits but vegetable names r also being used often. If we come across any object in our daily life like fruits, vegetables, trees, stones or anything which resemble the shape of private parts we observe it and laugh off. :)

Ha ha ha ha....Yes you are correct to some extent...but only to some extent..
Haven't you noticed or heard that there are numerous other 'slangs' or 'informal words' that we use instead of saying the literal dictionaried words of our reproductive and sexual organs...infact,we use the slangs as much often that even we sometimes forget or is unaware of the original literal word....
I have read somewhere that there are 1000 slang words for the word vagina...
Now why is that ?
Most possibly,its because of our sexually reserved social inhibitions that we feel embarrased to say those literal words but instead have devised Cunningly other 'slangs' or informal words to mention those organs...
...and those who are uncomfortable even to say or mention those organs by those 'informal words' cleverly try to indicate or mention by naming other naturaly similar(in shapes and sizes) products names..eg..banana for penis etc...!!!
But you really made me laugh today...ha ha ha ha ....

Your questuion is really not about fruits, but about our cultures. The use of slang. It tells us something about ourselves. It shows that many of us are not comfortable talking about our bodies—especially our sex and reproductive parts. Slang shows that we may not even know much about our bodies. We create slang to hide our embarrassment. But embarrassment keeps us ignorant. Ignorance keeps us from becoming comfortable with our bodies.
Imagine a lady telling a man - Can I eat your cock, or suck on your penis? She would prefer saying - I am going to eat your banana.
Slang is handed down from generation to generation. New slang terms are also created by the pop culture or media in each generation. Slang in one family or community is often different from the slang used in another family or community.
Some women and men agree to use slang during sex play to express and increase their excitement. Otherwise, the slang names of the sex and reproductive organs can create communication problems between men and women, people of different ages, cultures, and economic classes, and people of different professions. There are more slang terms for the sex organs and the sex acts than for any other body part or function.
Besides banana, oranges, papaya, what about cherry? “losing one’s cherry”—for both women and men. Obviously, there is no cherry or any other fruit inside our sex and reproductive structures. Yet “cherry” has become slang for “hymen.”

You have options to call them as everyone calls, you can call on the proper biological name, you can call on slang language and you can call as most people prefer, a sweet name. Fruits are sweet, people love to talk that way and still can go ahead meaning the right word. You can even create your own pet name or way like a code language. As long as your mate understand, fair enough.
I dont know the reason, but if you look at 2000 year old history, all sexual positions were in the name of animals, even the organ was often named that way. The reason possibly was, easy to understand.
