Labiaplasty, Vaginoplasty, Hymenoplasty, Clitoropexy…what does it all mean?!
These are terms for various female genital cosmetic surgeries (FGCS) that some women are choosing to undergo. In other words, surgeries which tighten, tuck and trim areas of the vulva (including the labia, clitoris, pubic mound, etc.) and the vagina.
So why would women choose elective surgery on their most private parts? Women cite various reasons for undergoing FGCS…everything from possible enhanced sexual gratification to a Valentine’s Day present for a partner.
My initial thought is, maybe some women need to reevaluate their priorities…
Why do some women choose this particular endeavor? Is it really for themselves - to make them feel beautiful or sexy? Is it because they’ve sized up their own body in comparison to someone else and determined they aren’t good enough? Or is it at the request of another person (lover, partner etc.)?
So many questions unanswered…
My momma always said, when considering anything that is potentially life changing (and/or appearance changing), make a pro-con list! I suppose though, if it was me and there was ever a con which included “potential loss of feeling,” it would be no-brainer…but to each her own…
No matter what your feelings on this particular topic, let’s remember that the vulva is beautiful and unique to each woman. No two look exactly alike, nor should they.
If we’re basing our perception of beauty by what we see in pornography, we probably have a distorted idea of what a vulva actually looks like. Since there are a myriad of vulvas out there in the world, maybe instead of trying to achieve the “perfect” look, we should focus more on enjoying our own unique beauty. It’s time for women to enjoy every part of their bodies!
