Actually, "pudenda" literally means "shameful things" in Latin. This is one of those facts which is constantly annoying to those of us who don't find sex to be shameful.

It's also sexist, as originally it referred only to the female parts in question ...

("Genitals" is better, but not terribly better, on account of there being lots of other things to do with them than reproduction.)
