New warning on 'perfect vaginas'


Women are undergoing surgery to create perfect genitalia amid a "shocking" lack of information on the potential risks of the procedure, a report says.

Research published in the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology also questions the very notion of aesthetically pleasing genitals.

Operations to improve the appearance of the sex organs for both psychological and physical reasons are on the rise.

30. omg - I didn't know all those things were unattractive!!
Where is my mirror?

All this time I thought one vagina was pretty much like the next one. How humiliating that I have been trotting around allowing male access to my vagina when all the while it has been puffy, had an embarrassing size (is that too big or too small?), excessive skin (how much skin is just the right amount?)and damn all those unattractive flaws!

Unless the orifice is diseased, all vaginas are beautiful vaginas...

10. Can you imagine ball sack surgery
To lift, smooth and tighten.

:crazy:

And a baby died somewhere because they had no health care.

39. why would they do that?? the scrotum is supposed to be able to allow the
testicles to fall to get away from the body when it is too warm. Otherwise, sterility could occur. There is a reason Mother Nature designed things the way they are. Vaginas and scrotums alike. All this stuff is just a way to rip people off, again!!!

12. Only women could be made to feel that part of their body is not beautiful.
Men wag their hairy dicks around, so proud of god's creation. Meanwhile women are shaving, waxing. burning the hair off of their bodies to compete with air brushed pictures. Any surgery is dangerous so let's save it for emergencies.

37. Are you kidding?!
Many men are terrified that their tool is too short, or too slender, or just generally ugly as sin -- not to mention the question of circumcision. The level of cock-based anxiety is huge for some guys, and surgeries to increase the length or girth of the penis have been around WAY longer than this recent trend of labia-snipping.

13. It is amazing what idiotic surgical procedures women will subject themselves to
Edited on Thu Nov-12-09 02:35 PM by SPedigrees
for some unimaginable cosmetic reason. Foot binding, genital mutilation, tummy tucks, facelifts, and on and on. Personally I find even the simple act of painting one's face with makeup to be unfathomable. And I go under the knife only for dire medical necessity. Life's too short.

There is a fortune to be made off the insecurities of the easily impressionable portion of society. If I had a more opportunistic, predatory nature, I could be rich now.

Edited on Thu Nov-12-09 02:38 PM by Warpy
these twisted doctors don't want to hack up.

I'm put in mind of Dr. James Burt, an OB-Gyn with a grandfatherly manner whose patients trusted him completely until he butchered their external genetalia to suit his own aesthetics.

15. Unbelievable! I'm truly stunned by this. I'm going on 62 and have never even heard about anybody
having such things done!

I really did look at some of those pictures and most are of procedures done to young women in their 20's. Who pays for this or maybe we've discovered why the personal debt of our fellow citizens is sky high!

18. As if guys care what a woman's labia look like.
I have never, never heard a guy complain about a girlfriend's genital appearance. What would inspire someone to do that?

19. Pet peeve: referring to "vagina" instead of "vulva" when "vulva"
is obviously the subject of the discussion. The vagina is a hole and its lining, a space. The vulva is the skin folds at the entrance to the vagina. Anatomy 101.

21. Vulva surgery, NOT vagina. Vagina is the passageway between vulva/uterus
Many women are having vaginal surgery since we don't have to live with a cystocele or rectocele any more. That is totally different from having your vulva worked on, making the external parts simply look different.

24. Pretty Perfect Vaginas are in the eye of the beholder.
Many actually looked better before the surgery than after the surgery, imo.

34. Devil's Advocate here
Serious hypertrophy of the labia actually can interfere with penetration and result in some rather painful intercourse. I've no doubt most of these procedures are for cosmetic reasons but there are some legitimate reasons, also.
