For the Love of Labia

I love my labia.  And I renewed my love for my labia yesterday during an oral sex session.  For the most part, it's always a race to the vagina....a race to the clitoris and sometimes we forget just how sexually sensitive our labia are and how much pleasure they bring us as women.  They're so soft and tender to the touch.  They fold and undulate between our legs carrying with them lubricating juices.  I love the way they feel when I part them and run my finger past their smooth center and into my vaginal opening.  I love to feel them plump up with pleasure...pulling open...ready to receive whatever I may slide past them.

The Risks of a Perfect Vagina (Vulva)

The first time I heard about labiaplasty was about 10 years ago on the Howard Stern show.  It was right when we started seeing the "clamshell" asethetic in porn and all the porn stars who came on the show would talk about the surgery.  One pornlet had her snipped labia suspended in a clear resin block and auctioned it off on ebay.

What struck me then was that there had been no research.  No one knew what the risks were in removing sexual tissue directly from a woman's genitals.  Most women say they want the surgery because they're embarrassed of their labia during sex.  Not that far off from Betty's experience believing she was genitally deformed because she had "dangling inner lips".  It took the right lover to convince her that she was "normal".   

Finally, someone is standing up for women. Gynaecologist Sarah Creighton and psychologist Lih-Mei Liao are challenging the ethics of offering women surgery to address such insecurities, suggesting it is advertisements for a "homogenised, pre-pubescent genital appearance" which creat these anxieties in the first place. 

Is It Normal for Labia to be Bumpy?

Is it normal for my labia to be bumpy? I have had numerous exams and I had a std test last year and have only had sex with one person since. It came back with nothing. Should I be concerned? it has been bumpy ever since I can remember.

Asymmetrical Labia Have Me Sad

I know all women's vaginas are "normal" no matter what size, shape, etc. their inner lips are, but I am still uncomfortable. When I was very young (perhaps 5-7 years old) I guess I was just curious about how I was growing down there, and I would pull on one of my inner labia. I did this for a while. Eventually, I noticed it was stretched; I've had asymmetrical labia ever since - one side is long, thick and dark while the other stays within the outer labia, is thin, smooth and light-colored.

Discolored Labia Have Me Worried

I have dark spots or patches on my inner labia. The are not raised and don't cause any irritation. Is this normal, could this be cancer?

Accused of Cheating Due to Labia Looseness

My husband just accused me of being unfaithful. He said that 2 weeks ago the day after my period he felt me and my Labia were loose and fluttery like i had just finished sex. We have been married 19 years, i have never cheated but i cannot convince him of this. What changes do labia go through on a monthly cycle.

Straight Man Sick of Female Genital Shame

I am a monogamous 46 yr old hetero male that just today got so sick of what I consider ridiculous anti-SEXUAL behavior. For about the umpteenth time in my life, my partner shared that she was ashamed of her inner labia.

I want to speak out to every woman in this world and tell you all that "I INSIST ON SOMETHING I CAN WRAP MY LIPS AROUND AND TONGUE AND SUCK." I am only one man but I am here to tell you ladies, "STOP TRYING TO GIVE ME LESS OF YOU TO LICK!"

I have dated many women in my life and have also been married. I love to go down and must say that the more of you there is to lick and tongue and play with, the longer I will stay there without any boredom. This is unusual for me to be so bold and comment on this site, but maybe my present, last or possibly next girlfriend will read this and realize a lot of men don't want a PUSSY that isn't there.

Does Too Much Sex Make Labia Longer?

The other day my boyfriend commented on my labia minora.. telling me it was longer than normal... or that it looked "weird". I suppose it does look kinda weird.. I guess I just never really thought about it because no one really brought it to my attention. He thinks it's that way because "I was promiscuous in my past"... even though I wasn't and have never been. Would too much sex with your partner though stretch or make your labia longer or seem to hang lower?

Hate My Pussy Lips...Help!

I don't like the looks of my cunt. It has diffent size lips and swells up more on one side. I do not really have any external lips, just mostly a big buffy mond.

The Latest on Labiaplasty

Most women don't even know that the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology doesn't support cosmetic genital enhancement surgeries and has publicly said that "it is deceptive to give the impression that [these procedures] are accepted and routine" and has stressed that their safety and effectiveness have not been documented.

To raise public awareness of this assault on women's health and well-being, the New View Campaign will stage a protest on November 17 from 12-2 PM outside a cosmetic genital surgeon's office on E. 64th street between 2nd and 3rd aves in New York City. For more information see http://www.newviewcampaign.org/fgcs.asp. Go, Leonore.

Danish Surgeon Wants to Know About Elongated Labia

Dear Betty Dodson,

I am a gyn/obs specialist, senior consultant at the University of Copenhagen Hospital Frederiksberg. During the last few years I have had an increasing number of women (young and older) asking for correction of elongated labia minora. They complain of mechanical problems during cykling, riding and intercourse--with the labia going in to the vagina. I remember many years ago seeing vulva pictures and finaly saw a Danish TV interview with you.

HELP..I Think I have 3 Labia

hi there,

i'm not sure what i'm hoping you'll tell me but i think i'll feel better with your advice. i noticed in my early teens that one of my labia was slightly larger than the other and discoloured. It seems to have been steadily getting larger and hanging down more and more over the years to the point that i've been too embarrassed to look down there for at least a year. after exploring your website last night i decided it was time to have a look and i cant believe how bad it has gotten. somehow it now looks like i have 3 labia minora.

Inner Lips Are Longer Than Outer Lips...HELP

My labia minora is longer than my labia majora. I am a little self concious and have been told it's abnormal. I am to embarrased to see a doctor and it really affects my love life... Is it abnormal at all? If so, what can be done to help. Thank you.

Recently Orgasmic and Wondering If My Pussy is Normal

As you know from my previous emails, I am now successful in achieving orgasm where I was not before. I now have another question. I know you say every woman's pussy is unique, but I have not yet seen one quite like mine either in your forum or other pictures. My inner lips hang sort of like flaps when the outer lips are pulled apart. My clitoris is hidden deep up inside of them even then, and when not pulled apart, it sort of looks like the longer flap is a tongue sticking out of my pussy. I once asked my OBG/YN who seemed rather uncomfortable when I did ask and skirted the question. Most of my life, I have felt this was abnormal. Until recently, I thought I had empty "ball sacs" hanging there.

My Labia gets swollen and sore after sex

Hello,

I am quite young and I have had sex with quite the variety of people and never had a problem until recently. I have used the same condoms, switched brands and materials multiple times, had an allergy test, and tried new partners, new positions - everything! No matter who I have any kind of sex with these days my labia minora becomes swollen for days and it is so sore that it makes it hard to walk. I am aware this is normal around the time you have sex but cannot figure out with what causes this to last for days. Shouldn't it subside without Benadryl among other medical things?
