"V" Is For Vagina is a first regular studio album by Maynard James Keenan's side project Puscifer, released October 30, 2007. Keenan compared the sound of the album to "driving around in your car listening to those old Motown hits, James Brown, and cool R&B stuff".[1]

The album was preceded by a non-album, retail-only single, "Cuntry Boner", released October 2, 2007 — and, released a week later, an iTunes-only four track EP, Don't Shoot the Messenger, with tracks previously released on soundtracks. On September 30 2007, a second single, and first actual radio single from the album, "Queen B" was posted into a flash audio player on the official website, along with selected tracks by Keenan projects. On October 1 2007, the video was posted on the Puscifer YouTube channel.[2] The video features several fully CGI Maynards as pawns in a chess game between two women. "Queen B" is currently #26 on the Billboard Modern Rock radio chart. The album debuted at #25 on the Billboard 200, selling about 27,000 copies in its first week.[3]

On October 7 2007, "Trekka (Sean Beaven Mix)" was published on Puscifer.com. And on October 25 2007, the entire album was put up for listening.

In a message Maynard sent out on October 27 2007 he said that Target stores decided not to carry the album after seeing the cover image, and Wal-Mart never even returned a call to carry the record (In Canada, the album is currently available at Wal-Mart, but with a large sticker obscuring most of the cover.).

On April 28, 2008 a remix album with versions of tracks from V Is For Vagina was released, entitled "V" Is for Viagra. The Remixes.[4]
