I was reading an article in a health
magazine yesterday that was about women
getting corrective surgery on their
genitalia.
There were two sides on the platter: 1.
They opted for surgery to tighten their
vaginas after childbirth for either
enhanced sexual pleasure or for
incontinence reasons and 2. They didnt'
like the way their labia looked.
My reactions were, in order of
appearance;
"Ouch!" (crossed legs instinctively).
"Man, that lady's husband told her while
they were having sex that, 'honey, it's
like a train tunnel down here'. That
would be awful!"
"Has a man ever in the history of the
world turned down sex because of a way a
woman's labia looked?"
"Freakin' porn...now women are having
corrective surgery because they think they
don't have the 'ideal looking'
babychute."
And then...the insecurity. I am female,
afterall.
I wonder if my... yeah, I'm sure it's
alright. "Honnnneee?" I yell down the
stairs... and ask the question.

That post made me laugh a little.
Women need to know there is just as much
variation in female genitalia as there is
in male genitalia.... and males do vary
quite a lot!
I think that is the LAST place I would
consider getting cosmetic surgery.
ouch!

Yeah, I can understand the medical
reasons... but the cosmetic ones?
Yeeowzers. But then again, the mere
mention of "nipple" and "pierce" in the
same sentence sends me cartwheeling
towards the freezer where I stick my head
into it to chill the thought right out of
my brain.
I asked my boyfriend if my "labia looked
alright to him". He rolled his eyes, and
distractedly said, "Love, your labia looks
fine" and went back to work.
What a great conversation.

I'd never felt weird about my labia for
some reason... I have a huge birth mark
down there which is pretty much a 3-4 inch
diameter freckle sort of coming out from
down there on the inside of one thigh, so
I guess... I was more concerned about that
than my labia, which every woman has, so I
figured my were as good as anyone else's
lol. Not every woman has a freckle that
looks like a pool of poop!
