LIPS OF VAGINA DISCOLORED
Over the last year i have noticed an area on my inner labia that is darker purple. I used to thing it was just wierd skin because its on my bigger labia and i thought it was just hangy skin. My problem is that the area is getting bigger. Even when i spread the skin, the discoloration stays. Could I have done this by having too much sex?
i just turned 15 years old in march. i believe its normal but im not sure how. i scared to ask any of my friends, family or my doctor about it!! i would feel embarrassed if they thought it was gross or no guy want want me for ME! i just want to feel normal. i have a boyfriend but im scared to let him see it totally. the lights off! my lips are kinda long but after reading all of these i still feel embarrassed to even go to my Doctor about it. I am a MODEL, models are just like everyone else; we all are all humans. im not sure what to do about the discoloration. PLEASE HELP!!!
Yay!! This is what I like to hear....that healthy men just like vaginas and women women period! Thanks for posting this :D Keep doing this...and tell your guys friends to also because it helps women break down this forming myth that all this junk is important.
Peace.
Peace.
Specifically to Sapphire but to all of us...the way you talk about your own body is tragic. Ugly this ugly that, I gotta fix it, etc.......I think therein lies the problem; that we as women think there is something wrong with our bodies and have been told throughout centuries there is...when obviously ^^ judging by the slew of posts of women saying virtually the same thing...that perhaps it's not our bodies, but our society's perception telling us something is wrong, thus becoming our own.
>Obviously this is NORMAL and common for the vulvae(sp?) to have a variety of darkened colors, esp as one ages or depending upon your ethnicity etc. As well as the labia majora to shrink over time/due to hormones and the minora to SEEM longer. Once again, bloody hormones! But really....we're all too effing hard on ourselves and some day we're going to have to stop saying yes to all this criticism that drives us up the walls and makes us seek out approval and just freaking love ourselves....thereby setting precedence that tells the world the same, love us or shove off!
I've tripped off my labia/vulva as of late when I never had before and I'm 41. Part of it is due to body changes and part of it is because of the obsession lately with the perfect vagina. But where did we get this idea??? Porn culture/media/fashion etc...because before the last 10+ years...most people did not have a library of vaginas to compare themselves to and think that there was something wrong. Now we do and suddenly we're shaving them, bleaching them and bleh...having them cut off to make them appear 'more perfect'! All so sick and sad how there is always something 'wrong' with our bodies, so we're told.
I hope that women like us will keep being honest about what is REALLY going on with our bodies so that the rest of us can hear/read comments like these and realize that it's usually quite NORMAL and feeling bad about it is mostly due to propaganda driven by the media industries telling us what's wrong, what to change or alter to make us more appealing. This, keeps us on a chain of emotional dependency, it feeds our weakness to judge ourselves and guess what...drives up industries based on our insecurites (fashion, makeup, clothes, beauty products, porn etc...)
Maybe we ought to just love ourselves so goddamn much that men and other women, whole industries have NO choice but to respect that and go with whatever we're setting as standards. ;)
Just an ideal.

you might be having ingrown hairs due to shaving that's why it's itching. Use a proper shaving technique, you can search for it online.
