I think this whole idea is just crazy! I honestly don't spend any time thinking of the appearance of my labia, seriously, if a man has an issue with the way he looks he can feel free to never go near it again.

This is just as bad as people who get all keyed up over wether a man is circumcised or not (for the record, I think that is incredibly shallow as well).

@MsMini: agree.

never really thought much about this but I think it's a little out there... well not just a little I don't see the draw but I guess I've never had personal insecurities about mine

I was googling about surgeons to see what sewing stomach muscles back together entails and ran across a page that had SO MANY different operations for vulvas. Like, trimming labia, puffing up labia, bleaching, "evening out". It was SO depressing, how would it even occur to someone that needed to be done??

Great article!

I've definitely always been self conscious of my vag. I don't know why, no one has ever complained, I guess it's just one of my faults. I finally started to feel ok about it because my husband also thinks "she's" perfect, and then I got preggo and now my vag feels giant. *sigh*

ETA: I would never get surgery though. I agree with one of the dudes in the article who said they aren't supposed to look pretty. I think the same about a dudes junk!

@Dapple Grey: yes, pornography is often cited as something that gives people unrealistic ideas about what women's bodies "should" look like.
