Did Anorexia Stunt the Growth of My Vulva?

Hi Betty,

I'm writing because I am worried about the size and development of my vulva. My clit, when fully aroused, is smaller than an apple seed and my inner labia are so minisucule that they barely rise above the surrounding tissue. I was anorexic from about 12-16, and then from 16-23 heavily abused alcohol and drugs. I am have been clean and sober for about 2 years now and just had my first orgasm about 6 months ago. I am wondering if my past behavior could have pemanently stunted my sex organs or if this size is normal. I do have breasts and hips. Are my orgasmic abilities affected by this, becuase to be honest, I was a little underwhelmed with my first experience. Thanks. P.S. I would have never had an orgasm at all if it wasn't for your site!

Dear A,

Congratulations on discovering your orgasm. You can stop worrying about the size of your clitoris and inner labia. We come in a gazillion different forms and sizes. Now that you are having orgasms, you will be pumping blood into your sex organ regularly which you can view as feeding you beautiful pussy. Even a clitoris the size of an apple seed will still have about 8 thousand nerve endings just waiting to be stimulated. Also give yourself credit for overcoming a series of serious addictions and staying clean and sober. When our Genital Art Gallery goes back up you can enter a photo of your divine vulva to celebrate your success story. I'm very proud of you.

Dr. Betty
