Vagina


I have come to the conclusion that there is a direct correlation between a man's ability to say that icky word, vagina, and how he treats and sees women. If he can't say the word, he's probably a dick.

This post inspired by Digby.

And while we're on the subject of vaginas this is just wrong on so many levels. Clearly the influence of porn is deleterious on many levels.

Don't fool around with vaginas.

A woman’s vagina is so cleverly constructed that it will accommodate itself to each and every penis; it will go out to meet a short one, retire before a long one, dilate for a fat one, and constrict for a thin one. Nature has taken account of every variety of penis and so there is no need solicitously to seek a scabbard the same size as your knife … Every man can thus come together with every woman and every woman with every man, if there is compatibility in other respects … (From “The Story of V”, by Catherine Blackledge)

To obsess over penis size therefore is a royal waste of time...vaginas welcome all sizes:-)

and ...

Labia Majora and Labia Minora sounds like music to me.

Come on, man. This one can't necessarily be blamed on porn. Porn actresses come in all shapes, sizes and body types, including their labias. Like men, the reasons for dissatisfaction with the appearance/size of one's genitals are unique to the individual. Sure, some dudes seek out male "enhancement" after watching naughty vids, but I doubt that's the main factor driving the industry that clogs up my spam folder.

Women bring pictures of porn actresses and of women in Playboy magazine to the plastic surgeon's office to choose the kind of vagina they want.

Pornography's drift into the mainstream and a growing candour about sexuality often lead to the thorny subject of anatomical comparisons, says Leroy Young, chairman of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons' emerging trends task force.

“[Women] get a comment from their spouse or boyfriend or whoever that, ‘Gee you don't look like whoever,' and a comment about a sensitive area like that, of course, is a huge emotional blow. So I think a lot of the women who pursue that are concerned about issues like, ‘How am I going to be perceived?'” More

Actually, a woman's desire to alter the appearance of her genitals for cosmetic reasons is not (necessarily) born from a psychological issue or unreasonable insecurity by any means. As a medical student and alternative health care practitioner, I've seen many patients who've opted to change any number of given aspects of their appearance through medical intervention, and the result is almost invariably positive on many different levels, especially emotionally and psychologically. Lets's face the facts, folks... Each era in time brings with it certain ideals of beauty, and the current trend for women is the feeling that a neat and sleekly constructed vagina is "sexy" and preferable to one whose labia minora is disproportionately large and/or pigmented in comparison to the labia majora. I am not quantifying this as right or wrong, but merely as the standard with which women in this nation have to work with (for now). As such, there is no reason to believe that this procedure would have any effect except to increase a woman's confidence in her appearance and sensuality. And contrary to some , um, 'assertions' that I have read so far, there is very little risk from this procedure when performed properly. And before anyone goes trashing my opinion, my partner, who is herself a women's counselor, fully agrees with my statement. :)

but that doesn't mean it ain't messed up.

Someone who thinks she needs to "fix" her yaya to feel better about herself certainly needs treatment, but at the other pole.
