inner labia

I have a weird question this time... My inner labia is quite large and i get quiet emabarressed as it tends to stick out like a little tongue.. My bf says it doesn't bother him at all and says that if i ever removed it it could take away some sexual feeling.. It does feel sexual but I really don't want it so big.. Is surgery an answer or is the normal?

And your boyfriend is correct, removing the labia will reduce physical (and mental) pleasure for him and reduce pleasure for yourself. You could end up unable to orgasm.

Hun, you are normal. There is nothing wrong with you.

No two labia look the same. Our labia can have different textures (smooth, or bumpy), different edges (smooth or jagged), different colors (purple, pink, brown, black, nude, etc.), different sizes (3/4-4 inches), and all around look different. One side of the labia minora may be far larger than the other side, this is normal. Most labia are not identical. Heck, some women only have a labia minora on one side.They are ALL beautiful and unique.

The answer is learning to love what you have and realizing it is not only normal but common. This is not a problem. It is normal. Look at tumblr's 'Large Labia Project' to see some of the variation that exists in labia - don't worry if you don't see a similar one, like I said, no two labia are the same. In survey's, men either like a long labia, or don't care.

Porn has RUINED what women think their labia should look like. Pornstars get their labia cut off and bleached. It is NOT an accurate depiction. If you look at porn from 10-15 years ago, they all had normal labia, ranging is size, color, and texture. In fact, the majority had labia that was 2+ inches.

mine is like that too and I HATE IT! But my fiancee doesn't mind it. I was thinking about surgery but am WAY to afraid to even get it. So I'm just going to deal with it. Hope I helped since I have the same problem.
