Labiaplasty, surgery to reshape your most intimate, feminine anatomy – the vulva and its external tissues – is creating quite a stir in the media.  Make no mistake.  This is a HUGE money making marketers’ dream.  The ads promoting this type of UNNECESSARY and potentially DANGEROUS surgery are playing upon your insecurities and doubts about your very basic femininity.

For years women have been given the message that we are not okay the way we are.  The average woman has been led to belileve that she is either too short or too tall, her boobs are not okay the way they are, her butt needs reshaping,  he thighs need fat removal, he face needs surgery or botox, etc.  Even men have fallen prey to these overriding media messages.  And increasing number of men have had surgeries to enhance their shoulder girth, improve their butts, flatten their abdomens, and even to lengthen their most important symbol of manhoos, their penises.

The goal of these surgeries, I presume, is to look more attractive and actually attract partners to engage in intimate sexual relations.  Problem is, some of these surgeries may lead to chronic and permanent physical problems that can actually interfere, for the rest of your life, with your enjoyment of the sexual act.  Especially when surgeries remove tissue in a woman’s vulva or around a man’s penis, scar tissu e develops that can numb sensation indefinitely (not to mention the inherent dangers of any major surgey which these are).

I am providing a link to a blog called “SelfServed,”  a blog site self-proclaimed to be about creating a “sex-positive world.”  Self Served includes the wisdom, experience and advice from sexexperts and also reminds us that each of us is our own sex expert.  Nobody else has the right to tell us what we need to do to improve our own natural beauty.

Warning.  The video shown in this link contains nudity and may be offensive to some women who have never actually seen a real woman’s vulva before.  This video may also be offensive to men who may view it at their own risk.  I am apologizing in advance to anyone who finds this information upsetting or offensive.  However,, my goal is to share this information with women.  If  I help even ONE female to choose to honor her own body and not be pulled into this dangerous scheme of body cutting/surgery supposedly for her own good, I have accomplished my goal in sharing this.
