genitals
This term is the standard clinical and anatomical designation for reproductive organs. While it is a neutral medical term, it is often perceived as more explicit or blunt than euphemisms like "private parts" or "intimate areas" in social or casual settings.
Grammatically, this noun is used almost exclusively in the plural form to refer to the collective set of organs. While "genital" exists as an adjective, the noun form rarely appears in the singular in standard English usage.
