I think her lips were very sexy before the op. Mine are about the same and my man loves them. I am glad she is happy though.
Why are you referring to her labia as vagina?
Vagina = the hole.
I am 16 and I have never had sex. I'm not sure what is normal or not, so that affects relationships I have had. The person that I am seeing at the moment has had many partners before, and I am afraid of what he will think of my vagina. My labia is worse than the woman's in the video, and I do not know what to do.
This site has helped a great deal so far though.
This woman's labia isn't even that bad, mine is so much worse, i feel that its huge and it can actaully be quite uncomfortable is i dont wear the right underwear. I really want it off it gets me so depressed and i'm so self-connscious when in front of my boyfriend even though he doesnt seem to care, but he might just be being nice. please help!
I have no idea why this woman is having surgery, or why the doctor and surgeon are telling her she has a problem.
My wife has larger labia than her, and I find them really sexy! In the past I've been with girls who have had even larger ones, and of course girls with smaller labia as well. It really doesn't make a difference – everyone is different, no two vaginas are the same (clit size varies a lot as well).
I'm probably a bit older (29) than most of the posters here, who seem to be with their first partner or not even there yet. But for those worrying about if their boyfriend is going to be repulsed…most teenage boys have so little experience themselves they're not going to have any preconceptions of what is "normal" (and even porn has a healthy variance of vaginal shapes, which lets face it is where most of their experience is going to come from).
Added to that, they're probably going to be so grateful to be getting any kind of female contact, they're not going to be getting turned off by someone with larger than "average" labia!
Seriously girls – enjoy your bodies, you're all almost certainly "normal" and please don't let it affect your self confidence under the sheets.
i dont think ive always had a problem im18 years old and only slept with a few people but the more people ive slept with i feel like the rght hand side to my labia has gotten bigger…i feel really embarrassed by it however compared to that video i dont feel like its that bad…and my boyfriend has never mentioned anything to me i thin its the fact of feeling different to other womem like abnormal different…im scared if i get a new patner sometime i the future that they might have a different view on the matter and some what take the mik…. i just wish i had normal lips that i was comfortable with :/
Joe you are absolutely correct Guy's are not Bothered about what the size of a woman's Labia as you said it's a turn on.
As a guy i love them – don't worry or get surgery. All the guys i know like large labias too. It gives us something to play with and they're sexy!
