quote:marketing purposes? It has been called that for as long as I have heard of it. My family has elder Hawaiians and they call it Pele's privates. So, don't know where or who you are talkin bout, but I was a child when I first heard about it and it was called that then.

Just my opinion, I agree with ericlp...It is disrespectful to Tutu Pele. There are various legends and "in family" discussions regarding that site, however, it is not named as such by any Hawaiians. In fact, some say the ancient Hawaiians called it "Pele's womb"....That is not confirmed either, however, not as insulting a term.
As we translate the Hawaiian language into the English language, there is meaning lost (in the literal sense), thus, we perhaps get this kind of "inaccurate translation"...
It could also be a term some use for marketing purposes, and in this day and age, raises interest, which I also find distasteful. All in my opinion only.
Agree with Carey, maybe you should check out some Hawaiian talk story. The sex is pretty vivid.
