What's wrong with the vagina in your life?

Came across this article about the 6 weirdest things women are doing to their vaginas these days. It makes me sad to think that there are women out there that are so unsatisfied with their lil ladies that they would go to such extremes as unnecessary surgery and chemical treatements.

What's your take on NA society's new "solutions" to the problematic female form? and why isn't acceptance one of them?

with the vagina in our life :)

oh. and I'm definitely a fan of my vagina. I will declare that it is quite nice.

Yeah, I've heard of labiaplasty, I can't imagine a woman being so unhappy with herself to go to such lengths. We are all different, that's the beauty of it.

i'm thinking of getting my next tattoo there.

haha jk.

i would absolutely never do anything to alter what was given to me. i mean, my goodness...surgery? seriously? mints? my mind is boggled at the thought of how ridiculous that is.

most dudes are not going to stop in the middle of sex once they see that you're not pink enough...and most guys don't even notice that my breasts are uneven...i can't imagine they would notice if my labia are. hahahahaha. everything i just wrote is so ridiculous. hahahahaha. oh my word.

Mine's perfect, thanks for asking.

Maybe color it midnight blue with flames on the sides, maybe some high class suede for the interior.

The ONLY time a scalpel should come anywhere near the vagina for cosmetic purposes (barring transgender procedures) is to harvest vaginal tissue to re-create the lips of a burn patient or to create areolas/nipples on a woman who has had a mastectomy reconstruction.

The vagina is a self-cleaning oven and any odors that smell fishy or truly offensive should be tested and treated by a physician/nurse practitioner. It is sad that women think there is an "ideal" look for their vulvas.. I think it stems from seeing women in men's magazines that don't compare to their own. I once read that in Africa, larger labias are considered beautiful like rose petals. Why any woman would undergo such unnecessary surgery (and it's inherent risks) or use toxic chemicals in such a sensitive area is beyond my comprehension, especially when I think of the young girls that go through genital/clitoral mutilation against their own will.

Bajingo?

Well there is this one thing that comes every few weeks...

Is nothing sacred?! If your vagina smells bad, tastes bad, and is dirty - wash it. If that doesn't help - go see a doctor. Way to render your built-in health monitor useless. Plus, can anyone say yeast infection?

No woman who has read the Vagina Monologues could dream of attacking herself this way. And with the risks involved in the more surgical procedures...I mean come on, are women really willing to risk never having an orgasm again so they can "fix" something? What's the point in it looking nice if it doesn't work? There's a quote I love from The Vagina Monologues...its when she's writing about how many nerve endings are in the clitoris versus the head of the penis..."who wants a shotgun when we've got a semi-automatic?" Hahaha I love it!

But what can we do to halt this trend? One thing is to start teaching little girls the proper names for their vulvas...identify each area specifically and name it. A little boy's penis is always in view - he understands it. A little girl has no idea what "down there" even is! How can a girl grow to love and respect a part of her body that she can't even identify? Hopefully, if she is more aware of her vagina then she will masturbate and learn how to please herself before she becomes sexually active...which, incidentally, reduces her chances of having sex early.

I like vulva :) It's actually the real word for the entire package and it sounds nice. Comedian Louis CK said our vulvas should be called "falalalala" and have a little butterfly just flying near it all the time...haha.

@IdealistMel I'm with you on ham wallet...eww gross even writing it!

I've decided I don't like ham wallet. It sounds like a racial slur or something! Gut locker sounds ugly... My names are obvious and possibly boring, vag, poon, my "girl"... I also like button and honey pot, they're cute and pretty:)

The Lack of Vagina is my biggest problem with Vagina right now... not all my fault..also in a challenged region. lol

I am sitting on the sidelines on this one.

ham wallet lol!

The only problem for me is that there isn't one. But it's not really a problem per se. More like a temporary inconvenience.

Not to get all 12 year-old on you, but do you have a favorite term for female genitalia? I ask because I had to laugh out loud at ham wallet. I personally like ax wound - so violent for something to delicate.

Ok being sarcastic here, i guess...
a ham wallet is a ham wallet, like ham sandwiches none are ever quite the same or perfect.... and i think its meant to be that way...

I needed a good laugh this morning, thanks.... I think i have things to worry about, but I dont have a b******e bleaching appointment to worry about missing.
