MEN...i also need an honest answer!

gosh, i already feel a little embarassed about posting this question, but i really would like an honest answer! Trying to keep this short,I guess as surprising as it is I have been somewhat naive to the fact that men think large labia minora are disgusting? My husband loves mine (ugh, sorry i am just trying to explain my insecurity)even though i've always felt like I was not sexy "down there". I've asked him about mine before and of COURSE I always get the "i love it" (because he knows if he said anything else he'd never get it! so i will never get a TRUE honest answer) Anyways, the other day a couple of my co workers (one female and one male, sadly regarding a patient)made the remark about a "roast beef *****", and how much would you do "that" for etc (sick, i know)... i had never heard that term but right away I was pretty sure I knew what they were talking about. Just a bit ago I looked up the term online and my suspicions were correct. I truely want to know the general feeling on this. Is it not sexy to have large labia minora? Does having large labia minora mean you have a "loose *****", and are not the "ideal tight..." Sorry to be so descript. Is having larger labia minora mean that your tendency to smell bad down there is greater? Again, I would appreciate honest answers, I am not looking to hear "if your husband enjoys it that is all that matters". I just want to know!!! Thanks to everyone who replies to this.

Holl;

Underwear cover the labia - why do you think you have to have surgery to be that kind of model?  Have you ever seen the labia of underwear models?  Probably not.  So how would you know what ideal labia look like?  Oh yeah, thanks to Britney, Lindsay, and Paris, we now know exactly what the "ideal" labia look like.

Look, I know there's a lot of pressure to have genitals (and the rest of the body) be "perfect", but you have to put this in perspective - once you hit 60, everything ends up drooping anyway, no matter how much plastic surgery you have.  Why put a temporary "fix" on what God gave you?  And why in the world would you let your poor attitude about your natural body keep you from enjoying sex once you become an adult?  

In addition to all this, if you remove part of your labia, you run a very high risk of losing some sensation in them.  So, in other words, you run the risk of DIMINISHING your pleasure in order to CONFORM with the "ideal" labia type.

And don't think that this problem is unique to women - guys have tremendous pressure to have penises that conform to the "long ****" stereotype.  

The solution is - understand that NO ONE is perfect.  And if you focus on your physical appearance, and the importance of it, you will end up unhappy and miserable.  I've known very good looking people, and with one exception, they have NOTHING to offer mentally or emotionally.  I'll pass.

Thank goodness!  I have been watching shows and reading information about people who have surgery to fix their large labia minoras and I felt really bad about mine.  Not only knowing that other women have this but that guys seem pretty cool with it has made me feel much better and confident.  

Thank you!

Crazy, I wish more people thought like you.  That is one of the most uplifting and honest things I've ever read.  I completely agree - people are too worried about what their equipment looks like.

The most important thing is that your equipment works!  Stop worrying about cosmetics and instead concentrate on function.  Keep everything in good working order, and worry about making yourself and your loved ones happy.  Not whether or not your penis (or labia) could use an upgrade.

And if you're with someone who wants you to change your body like that for them, f**k em.
