not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet but one helpful medical intervention to natural vagina would be if there's a way to get rid of that terrible garbage smell some woman naturally have. how it looks doesn't matter as much as how it smells, no?
some people get a kick out of rank stank but you could have the prettiest pussy and be totally gross if it smells like the whole town left their lunch inside. yuck.

Sad. Attests to the self esteem (and that they have way too much access to looking at "perfect labias" or whatever to obsess over) of our youth, our society and obsession with shallowness instead of the important things in life.

really this is no different than when men get penis extensions or choose to become circumcised (i say choose because I know many men dont have a choice, im referring to the men that opt to do it later in life for cosmetic purposes). Im not saying that those opperations are right at all....its just no different.
Frankly I dont know why a girl would want to alter her hoo hoo, every vagina is like a snowflake....unique and beautiful.

I just feel sorry for the "flappers" with insecurity issues or whatever, then again, I'm grateful some of the genetic oversights can be corrected.
If you got the money...it's a free country.
Is there a slang term for this yet? We should coin one.
Let's see, we'll call it getting snipped.
As used in an a sentence-type-thing "Oh yo dog, that bitch got her sh*t snipped."
Dear America,
This is where we're at at the beginning of the 21st century.
I wonder what Jesus would have said about such things. Hey Jesus, how does God feel about getting your sh*t snipped?
Alright, well, here's what humans apparently think about it. People wear some strange masks in the upper parts of the income bracket, and retarded ones in the lower rungs.
It's only sad that such services shouldn't be available to everyone that truly needs them.
Oh, there we are back to those words "true" and "need" again. Well, some people need more important things, but others feeling of self-security in life hing around getting their sh*t snipped.
To each their own. It's making the world a better place if you ask me. Although many sub-cultures of our society are truly f*cked up psychologically if you ask me.

To those of you referencing genital mutilation, I really don't think you can make this comparison. Genital mutilation is the non-consensual removal or near destruction of the clitoris and/or fusing together of the labia to discourage/prohibit female sexual pleasure, all for the benefit of the male. It is performed using brutal, barbaric methods (e.g. beating of rocks against the tissue) without anesthesia.
I'm not endorsing female genital cosmetic surgery, but it's a huge stretch to make an analogy between it and genital mutilation practices.

I've never met a vagingo I didn't want to spend time with - some more than others. Our medical institutions have created a system requiring these doctors to pay off years of student loans any way they can. Where are they getting their latest ideas for the advancement of medicine - a profession once held in the highest regard - Cosmo?
How about devoting your time to actually curing sick people. Whatever happened to the Hippocratic Oath? Well, with all the layoffs lately, I guess there must be a lot of openings in this field.

Surgically precise Clitoral de-hooding IS Female Circumcision, and in many cases, helps Women with difficulties in reaching Climax...The so-called Female Circumcision all too often refered to in relation to Islamic & African custom is actually Clitorectomy, the REMOVAL of the Clitorus, often through barbaric means (smashing between 2 rocks is the WORST I've heard of) in order to discourage A Womans' Interest In, & Independent Desire For Sexual relations beyond Her Husbands'(can You say OWNER) needs...SICK!!!
As to Cosmetic Labial Trimming, it's the Womens' body, let Her do as She pleases, once She is of an age to make life-altering decisions....HOWEVER, as a bit of advice from a Man....Ladies, part of the wonder of the Female form is the DIFFERENCES...THAT'S WHY "Hustler" Magazine has become a powerhouse, beyond the 1st amendment issue.
My ex-wife used to look at the pictures to reassure Herself that She was "normal" (and there was NOTHING extreme about the way She was formed) - 3 years ago

As nice as it is to feel as if you actually have something to look forward to in the morning when you look in the mirror... the only thing this made me think of was The Uglies Series by Scott Westerfield.
I might be surprised, but not too damn surprised. This will continue until everyone has the ability to become perfect in their apperance.
Now we just need the way to put lesions in your brain to make you THINK perfectly.

All perfection aside, I was truly unaware that there was a perfect, genitelia ideal. Wow, you have to be some crazy level of insecure to not be able to accept something that hardly anyone sees.. Oh maybe that's the problem... People could just stop showing themselves to people that judge them. Seriously, if you are kindly enough to sleep with someone, they should not be cruel enought to judge the hand that, um, feeds them.

Seriously??! TEENAGERS are talking about this? It shouldn't even be on the table for them. Moving on to the grownups in the room...for me, if the way I look down there is a deal maker or breaker to a man, that in and of itself would be cause to walk. But the bright side is, I wouldn't ask some guy to get circumcised for me either, so there you have it. Let's face it, people - one day, gravity is going to take its toll. You're going to wake up, and your face, your boobs and your butt are going to be down around your knees. So who will care if you look great down there anyway?

It's all the magazines that these young ladies are reading. Don't you all get it. They set unrealistic expectaions. If the magazines would present a reasonable depiction of the average vagina instead of the these beautiful, perfect vaginas, we would'nt be facing these issues. Not everyone is born with a svelt, skinny, camera-ready "cookie". Ladies, your vagina is beautiful, just as God created it(in her image). Now, go out there and be somebody. You can't lean on the "ugly vigina" crutch forever.

I'm gonna throw out a different opinion....
We as a human race are constantly trying to be better, look better, feel better.
We eat right and exercise for the health benefits but also for the benefit of looking nice.
How is this any different?
And besides men do it!!! There is really no need anymore for circumcision. It just makes him prettier!!

Actually, whether it's more attractive to be cut or intact depends mostly on whether or not a person was raised in one of the few countries where it's common. :) I didn't realize until a few years ago that it's not normal worldwide by a long shot:
** Worldwide, 1/6-1/3 of guys over age 13 are circumcised
** In USA 75% of infants overall are done (rates vary wildly by region)
** In Europe overall, under 20% are circumcised
** Some countries like Spain or Denmark are under 2%You can get rates, info on the controversy and links over at Wikipedia's page about it:

I agree that in most cases this is non-sense. In my opinion, there are a few exceptions for labioplasty
where the labia (labium minora) will become irritated
and inflamed by hanging below the outer lips (labium majora). I have been told that this is a very, very uncomfortable condition and makes wearing things
like jeans and sometimes even underwear painful.As for the vanity part of it all, that is a direct result of
the media targeting the western female. We must be perfect. Large, perky breasts, no dimples in our
already toned legs, now a perfect labia?Anyone ever seen Kat Williams comments about
stretch marks? I'm sure the same thing would
apply to the woman who fels her labia lips are wrong. Men could care less. And if they do, they don't deserve to see your vajay-jay to begin with.Self respect, girls. That is where it all starts. :)

I blame the media, of course, but when a $20,000 "labia-plasty" could have housed a homeless family,or fed a hungry elderly woman, or paid a struggling family's electric bill; or any of the other countless uses that could help people in tough situations... it is time you took a look at your self in the mirror and said "Screw it, I'm gonna make a difference in some ones life today..." instead of giving a damn what others think...

As long as you are not being forced to do it, whatever floats your boat ...
Body modification (or body alteration) is the permanent or semi-permanent deliberate altering of the human body for non-medical reasons, such as: sexual enhancement; a rite of passage; aesthetic reasons; denoting affiliation, trust and loyalty; religious reasons; mystical affiliations; shock value; and self-expression.
Do note that extreme forms of body modification are occasionally viewed as symptomatic of body dysmorphic disorder, other mental illnesses, or as an expression of unchecked vanity.

Isn't it interesting that some Western women are choosing to have their girly bits sliced and diced for some unattainable concept of "perfection" and that is considered "ok," meanwhile a generation of women are being sliced and diced as part of longstanding tradition and religious beliefs and its considered "genital mutilation."
In no way am I endorsing female genital mutilation or this new plastic surgery craze. I just think it's an interesting comparison and brings up questions of ethics and judgment. - 3 years ago
