Guys, what do you think of labiaplasty?

[peace-love-couture]

And girls, would you ever get that I was watching the documentary "Sexy Baby" and one of the girls got her labia cut off and the camera showed the labia sitting on the stand after he cut it off. When she went for her exam he told her that it wasn't all in her mind and that on a scale of 1-10(being the largest or needing surgery) they were a 7 I have an "innie" so labiaplasty has never crossed my mind cause I don't need it and I also don't have a desire to receive oral sex so I don't care what a guy thinks about my labia, but I can't imagine the pain felt down there after surgery! Childbirth alone scares the crap outta me let alone knives and whatnot

It honestly bothers me. It bothers me that beautiful p****** are getting carved up for no good reason by opportunistic surgeons. And it bothers me far, far more that girls feel so bad about their bodies that they feel the need to have such procedures. That, to me, is just terrible.

I know the feeling, in a way. The feeling that you're not acceptable and everybody who tells you otherwise must be lying to make you feel better. It's awful.

I saw a documentary on it as well (not "Sexy Baby", a different one) about a girl who was mercilessly and brutally taunted about the appearance of her vulva. She was simply so broken down that she couldn't believe her body was anything other than what the worst people said it was: ugly. And when it came time to do the procedure (yes, they showed it) she had such a lovely vulva. It's just heartbreaking what was done to her, not just physically, but mentally.

I wish I could make her (and other girls who feel the same way) see through my eyes and realize that they don't need to be sliced up to be beautiful.

Well, the girl in Sexy Baby claimed that her reason for getting it done was her guy friends would make jokes about it around her and she laughed about it and put on a face but realized she had what they didn't like I don't really get how people are taunted about their vulvas...that's like me saying I'm taunted about my areolas when I'm not. Guys no preferring large labia doesn't mean they are taunting them just like guys not preferring big areolas doesn't mean guys are taunting me

[sa230e]

It wasn't just about preferences, it was personal insults. She'd have guys see it and tell her to her face how nasty it was, from what I remember, and more than once. But even jokes and comments can still hurt and induce the same sort of feelings. It's sad.

[peace-love-couture]

Then perhaps she did need surgery... if more than one guy says something, then something is wrong

[sa230e]

No. She had a beautiful vulva. It was magnificent. There was nothing wrong. It was perfectly natural and normal.

[peace-love-couture]

Natural doesn't mean attractive It's natural to have saggy t*ts but that's not attractive. It's natural to wrinkle(with age) but that's not attractive. It's natural(for some) to have a big nose but that's not attractive

[sa230e]

You know, I'm speechless. I just can't expressive what a horrible attitude that is. I'm just at a loss for words.

[peace-love-couture]

But these things aren't considered attractive...they might be natural but the average guy doesn't care heck, even girls have their qualms. A lot of girls are turned off by uncirc. penises(I actually prefer them) but it's not typically considered attractive natural isn't valued as much as beauty in our society hey, I have big areolas and I have no problem getting them reduced because I understand men aren't fond of them and that's fine. That's life

[sa230e]

God, I hate these discussions because I just can't put into words what I'm thinking. When I say I wish I could make you see through my eyes, this is what I mean. I'm just speechless, beyond frustrated. And I know exactly what you mean. I've been there. But I've changed. I've realized things. I just can't express to you what I need to and it sucks.

[peace-love-couture]

well what exactly are you trying to get out? I don't care if it's all over the place and disorganized, just go through thought by thought or something what exactly bothers you about this?

[sa230e]

The idea that beauty is determined by consensus. The idea that nature is error-prone and that we humans objective arbiters of attractiveness. The idea that female beauty takes only a single form. The idea that we should alter our bodies to suit our collective neurosis rather than free our minds from the prison we ourselves created. That's what bothers me.

[peace-love-couture]

Well, that's the thing...we, as a society--male or female--created it

[sa230e]

This is the sort of the thing that calls for an article.

Haha of course the surgeon confirmed that they were bad, that's how they make money.

My knee-jerk reaction to labiaplasty is that it's absolutely ridiculous, but that's what I think about cosmetic surgery in general, yet I don't believe in calling people stupid for getting it. What do I care? There are a lot of powerful forces out there making women feel like sh*t about things that should actually seem silly. Surgery isn't the ideal solution but at least she's finding one instead of living with an insecurity that she apparently can't get over on her own? I guess that's my opinion.

[peace-love-couture]

Actually, not all doctors will recommend it. And sometimes labia are large to the point of being removed, especially if it causes discomfort(maybe that's why she had them removed?) idk But you're right. Better to get surgery and be content then live life insecure

It might be the same girl, but I watched a similar thing on this documentary: link

[caligirl3]

i think its crazy

[CuriousEddie]

Let's see... a plastic surgeon makes a recommendation that a woman needed plastic surgery... shocking!

I'm guessing he also recommended himself to do the work, and also mentioned that he takes credit cards or can put her on an installment plan.

[peace-love-couture]

Considering she went to him and was dead set on having it done, why on earth would he recommend another doctor?

[Dragan]

Completely unnecessary.

I've had girlfriends with both innies and outies. Honestly, I like them both. To me, it is one of the least areas of concern when it comes to looks. I'm not a big fan of the knife, but doing something on the face or boobs would make more sense to me if the girl feels insecure. When the penis is inside, we just close our eyes anyways to down there. The face/boobs/butt matter far more than innie vs outie IMHO.

[Anonymous]

there is no point I it, as long as my guy likes it, I have no plans to do p*rn either...

[Opinion Owner]

btw where can I see this documentary?

[peace-love-couture]
