Curious about surgery on vaginal lips

I have large vaginal lips that i have always been very self conscious about.  My boyfriend likes them but I am not comfortable.  I have never heard of surgery to reduce them but there's surgery for everything else and I was wondering if that was an option.  I don't see it as a big risk on nervers or anything else because it is only the lips.  If you have any information on a possible operation I would appreciate it.  Thank you so much.

Actually, there are a ton of men out there who LOVE women with full lips (some guys are into labia majora, others are into labia minora). I would even say that most men like fuller labia - just like most men like women with full lips on their faces. Do a google search for "met art" or "hegre archives" and you will see all the gorgeous models there, some of whom have very full, healthy-looking lips. Also check out penthouse model "andie valentino", for example.

Full lips give the sense that your partner is excited, because when this happens, the genitalia (male and female) become somewhat enlarged. There is really nothing more exciting to most normal men than when his lover is (or seems) excited. This is why, some women report to faking orgasms -- the ones who do this understand the dynamic of making their lover feel capable of providing extreme pleasure.

It would be a shame to maim the petals of your flower -- these petals can provide you with so much pleasure -- if you are willing to teach your loving partner how to deal with them properly. The sad fact is that most men and women are very uninformed about how to please their partners -- mostly due to "shyness". There is no reason to be shy about what you want/like and what you don't want/like, because the person you are with really does want to please you (unless he/she does not, in which case its time to move on).

Educate yourself as to the pros and cons of this surgery, but know this - you will be changing yourself in order to conform to an imaginary standard that some plastic surgeons and other financially motivated individuals are attempting to impose upon us, not due to any real standard of "beauty". Beauty is found in nature, not in crude, Frankenstin-like modifications of our natural, beautiful bodies. Take care of your body, don't wound it!!!

Well i did decide that I am who I am and if it doesnt pose any major problems then avoiding the procedure would be best.  It's expensive and involves a lot of pain that in the end would only be seen by my boyfriend (who is happy with how I am) and myself.  So for now I have decided to stay with my large lips which my boyfriend actually told me the other day felt better during sex!

Just wanted to point out what Jenni said.. "Like a shield protecting my vagina." Yep that is EXACTLY what they are there for. I beleive that women with smaller lips have smaller, well everything they are covering up.. And if you make them smaller, you will be leaving the parts they are protecting exposed and less protected. Your eyelids are a certain size, When you blink they cover and protect the entire eye. Would you reduce the size of them leaving your eyes exposed? I know it's not exactly the same thing but the only analogy I could come up with at the moment. LOL You get my point..
