John brought something interesting to my attention, vaginal plastic surgery. Holy crap. A certain percentage of women, and I don't know the exact percentage, have inner labias that extand past their outer labias, and I am one of them. It is perfectly normal. But in this article [and bear with me because on the Mac I don't know how to make it link, I'm gonna have to learn HTML]:

http://www.latimes.com/features/health/la-he-rejuvenate13mar13,0,517673.story?page=1&coll=la-headlines-california

it says that more and more women are getting labiaplasty, which is not the same as reconstructing a vagina that has loostened after childbirth (vaginoplasty). Labiaplasty is for cosmetic reasons only, and the article says that women are going after a porn star esthetic, which in turn is based on that of a pre-pubescent girl. This society is sick, sick, sick.

When I was 20 I dated a guy who referred to my labia as "elephant ears" and told his friends about it. Back then I was too stupid not to pitch him over the side of the building. Unsurprisingly, this gave me a complex. My ex, to his credit, was educated and told me, repeatedly, for I needed a lot of reassurance, that my vagina was perfectly normal and that's just the way some women are built. I know that I inherited my traits from my mom and her mother.

It's no big deal. If I'm ever with a man who doesn't like the way I look down there, he can go take a flying leap into a cesspool. As I was telling a friend once, my construction prevents me from going to a nudist colony, because I feel as if too much is exposed. They don't call them "privates" for nothing. However, as it's doubtful I would go to a nudist colony anyway, it's pretty much a non-issue.

You're absolutely right, lady.

We're all made differently and it's bullshit to expect us all to look like a porn-star...

...in fact, who would want to?

Thanks for visiting my blog. :o)
