labia majora
okay I know this may seem awkward but I'm only 17 and the outter appearence of my vagina and outer labia is really small... I am always hearing my friends talk bout how "big and fat" their vagina is and I am really insecure... it has stopped me from losing my virginity because as I get older my vagina is not growing it is the same as when i was maybe 11 and people are saying boys don't care but I am really insecure and think boys may be used to girls with vaginas alot bigger and maybe laugh at mind when they see it
thank you very much for the feedback I feel alot better and I'm willing to wait for the right guy
How do you mean small? All vaginas aren't created equal. Each woman will have completely different looks, including down there. I was very insucure about my labia also. Especially after two vaginal births. I'm still a bit embarassed. But I've realized that my fiance' doesn't care what it actually looks like, he cares more about how it feels and also what it does for him sexually. You're only 17 years old, you shouldn't be worried about sex right now any way. Save sex for someone special(:
Labia majora and minora come in different shapes and sizes. Some are smaller, some are bigger, some are lop-sided, etc., etc. I am sure yours are completely fine! I seriously wouldn't worry about it. If a guy laughs at you for what you look like down there, just tell him to get lost because you deserve better than that. Any guy who would laugh is not worth your time.
And truly, I would worry more about school at this point than losing your virginity. I kept mine until I was 21, and it was worth the wait because the guy I am with has treated me with respect and dignity in that area and treats me well outside the bedroom, too. At 17, I would have thought I was ready when, really, there is so much more to sex than just sex. It would have emotionally crushed me to lose it to a guy and then not have it work out or him leave just months later at that age and I was very mature for my age. It may seem like a few measley years, but those few years make a huge difference in maturity levels for males and females. Teenage boys tend to be selfish. You want to wait for someone who is old and mature enough to care about your needs--not just his.
