what do guys think about this?(labia minora)

I have a really embarrassing problem (or at least it is to me). My problem is that one side of my labia minora is considerably and very noticeably longer than the other. I have had no sexual contact with guys (which in turn as ruined almost all of my relationships to the point now that I have stopped dating all together) fearing what they will think. Now, I know for a fact that this is normal and is not a health issue but that hasn't helped me to be confident with myself "down there." So my question is, could a guy ever find that attractive? Or should I still be feeling this way?

I would love to get responds from men and women, like from women who have the same type of labia minora and who have had experiences with guys. Please help me with this! Thank you.

I have the same problem as u guys it's not unfortable but it makes me self confident . I have learned to except it and so should u . It maybe uneven but it's apart of u but u may see a difference when u get older as long as it don't hurt it should be fine. I'm a virgin and I maturbared a few times and I am ashamed of my self but as u get older not a lot of guys care what it looks like. The only thing I now is u can get surgery for it .its very hard to talk to my parents or doctor about it though any advice

I`m a man who has travelled a lot of countries. I tell U this, any man who
says he "doesn`t like" your labia should be shown the door!
In fact I believe about 70% of all men enjoy rather long labia. But long or
short, even or uneven, pink brown or green :-) they all look nice as long
as they are clean . .

That is the wonderful thing about the vagina, each one is unique and beautiful.  What ever yours looks like it is yours and yours alone. If your partner, be it male or female, and they don't like your vagina they are not right for you!

I'm a guy and if u ask me how I like I'll answer u small and even. Although it really depends on what each person thinks. Some friends r telling me they don't care as long is not too long like more than 3 inches. Some other they care about details like short or pink or dark. So bottom line everyone is a world so it depends on each person.

Now, I had girlfriends with uneven, even, long labia (but not 3inches long) and probably I thought about it the first month or less but after some time didn't care. Only 2 girls were in the even & short labia team and I really enjoyed it but I didn't make stay with them only for that attribute. So probably it is only good for attraction and sexual enjoyment but nothing else. Besides is probably impossible to know how is the labia of any girl before u date her (probably in future generation it will be) but for now it is private. Contradictory I had the best sex ever with an uneven labia type of girl and it was because her vagina canal was suitable for my size and type of penis. And it is exactly the same how is happens in women, if the penis is too long it can give u pain instead of pleasure or if is too thick same. Same as penises, vaginas have internal sizes and thickness so it is all about chances to find the one that give u the most pleasure.  

Also it depends of what culture you're in. For instance I'm latin and in lationamerica guys care about symmetry so the girls, that's is why esthetic surgeries r really common in this culture, many girls r thinking about bust surgery, labioplastia and so on. Venezuela is really famous for esthetic surgeries and people really care about symmetry or Colombia another example. You can see 95% percent of people using mouth braces at young age because of our mentality of symmetry.

Nowadays I'm living in Canada and it is totally different kind of history. Guys don't care too much about labia size or type or symmetry. So I found out it is basically an individual and cultural thing. Also as I mentioned before it is all about chances to find the one that give u the most pleasure (penis or vagina).  

Girls if you want to care about something care about vagina hygiene and not esthetic. Most of the guys I know including myself can't stand on a dirty, smelly one.

Hi, "Gottawork".  A word from a man who sympathizes with your concerns. But I'm one guy who loves large labia--there's more of you for a guy to enjoy.  My foreskin does the same for a lady.  
I've never seen a three-inch excess like you describe, but you clearly did the right thing by making it symmetrical.  Now stop worrying about it all and enjoy yourself.  And don't settle for less than being loved for who and what you are, from top to bottom, inside and out.  
warm regards

A p.s. for "badguitar":  I just read yourcomments after posting my own. Seems we're in agreement on everything, and I couldn't have said it better or more completely than you have.  Good advice for women everywhere.

Okay listen sweetie. I have the same exact thing. I was scared to let my boyfriend ever do anything with me because i was also selfconcious of my vagina. Turns out he loves it! He says that that one that is longer than the other actually turns him on. This coming up friday we will have been dating for 10 months. And he is still with me after seeing that. Dont worry about it. I have searched the internet for help. MANY other women feel the same way.

I have the same thing! I worry about it all the time but when I lost my virginity to a boy last week it was fine, I didn't really think about it much and he didn't seem to mind at all.
It's made me feel even better reading this and finding out that many other woman have the same thing.
I was considering surgery when I got older as I am only 16 but now that I have read this and the boy I slept with doesn't seem to mind it, surgery is the last thing on my mind. I think its just a case of learning to accept your own body.

I had always been quite concerned about my labia since I was about 10 and it got to the point where it was uncomfortable while I played sports or any exercise so I went to the doctor about a year and half ago.  I was extremely embarrassed and thought that I was abnormal or different from all of the other girls, so I had it removed.  It was a very embarrassing process, but I feel like now I have more confidence to be myself, but I only wish I would have been able to read some of your guys’ responses because we are all beautiful and if someone doesn’t like us for who we truly are, then they are not worth it! My labias are still not even, but my left side was about 3 inches long and it impacted my social life and confidence, which now looking back I wish I would have been more educated on this so I would have felt more comfortable to express my concerns.  

I still find myself feeling self conscious about it, but knowing that there are others out there who share the same fear, it reassures that we are beautiful and that no one is perfect, or really wants to be because it would be boring! :)

I have been happily married to my very beautiful wife for 18 years.  Her left labia is much, much longer than the right, and hangs out from between her lips.  Her left labia is quite petite.  Both side form a perfect hood around her clit, so the asymmetry is all below the clit.  I consider herds to be the most beautiful vilva I have ever seen.  Because it is HER.  No other vulva is HER.  After 18 years, last week she mentioned that she was not so sure about her longer labia, and that she was considering having it changed.  It took me a while, but I think I finally convinced her that not only was it normal, but QUITE beautiful, and that I would be very unhappy if she did anything to it.

wow,
I'm a 17 year old girl, and I've had this "problem" since I was about 12. I always thought there was something wrong with me, but after reading all of these responses, I feel 100% more beautiful and reassured. I'm intimate with my boyfriend of 4 months, and he has never mentioned a thing, and neither have my 2 ex-boyfriends, both of whom  was intimate with. My current boyfriend is the first boy I've ever fallen in love with and he tells me every day that I'm beautiful. However, I've always been extremely self-conscious about my longer labia. The right one is about an inch longer and it's all weird looking haha. My boyfriend loves oral, and I always just thought he never noticed it. But now I have hope that I'm just normal :)
