Skin coloured (aka. plant colour) from the outside. reddish and seemingly soft and enticing from the inside. It opens and closes when something enters its mouth on top of that and consumes what goes into it. Its shape from the front certainly also doesn't help.
Sorry, beside being eaten (which also works as an euphemism) what is wrong with seeing what it has similarity to as mentioned above?
It is a living, "breathing" sex joke Venus flytrap is.
And let's be fair, every species on the planet thinks about 3 main things, safety, reproduction and food. Is it really that weird that sexual organs was the first thing that popped into someone's mind when they saw the flytrap?

That isn't its mouth, it's just a part of the leaf. Why make euphemisms for puss when we already directly draw similarities to a mouth?
