Vaginal Rejuvenation

Vaginal rejuvenation is on the rise. More women are willing to sacrifice vaginal pleasure in order to have a prepubescent looking vagina. In our culture, a hairless "little girl" like vagina is what is seen over and over in the porn industry. What is that doing to the rest of the viewers? It is having an extreme affect on how women view themselves and their vaginas. We must remember that there are many different types of vaginas, just like thereare many different shapes and sizes to a penis. We all are different-- our faces, height, hair texture/color-- so what makes our society think that there should be an ideal vagina. Obviously, this cannot be attained by every woman.

The picture above demonstrates how many different vaginas there really are. It is sad because this cosmetic procedure is not intended to increase sexual pleasure. The sole purpose of this procedure is to deem a vagina "attractive". It can cause painful scarring and nerve damage that impedes sexual function (i.e. make the vulva painfully hypersensitive or numb). Never the less, the demand for these procedures are increasing.

What is this procedure exactly? The procedure involves either tightening of the vagina, removing of the inner lips if they exceed the outer, removing the clitoral hood, and pretty much anything to make the vagina more attractive by the patients standards. It is really sad that the patients will go through with these procedures when they could possibly lose sensitivity. To me this would be the worst thing that could happen. This also demonstrates that they are not really doing these procedures for themselves-- since they are willing to give up their pleasure-- they are more focused on how they look to their sexual partner.
