For the record, the vagina is actually the canal inside. What I think of as the face of the vagina—the lips, the clitoris, the clitoris' hood, etc. all the parts you can see—that is called the vulva. So, this questionnaire is about how you feel about how your vulva looks. [see vulva diagram] though I can't help but ask the question as: do you like the way your vagina looks? because that's what I've always called it...although, that's changing...—Alexandra

do you like the way your vagina looks? go into some detail about what you do or don't like about it.
|

No. For the most part, I am ashamed of my vagina. I have grown up looking at porographic images, so I have always felt it does not measure up. My lips are too long, and brown along the edges, sometimes wrinkled looking. I lost my virginity 2 years ago, so I worry that I will lose tightness-after all, it is the pinnacle of desiring quality.

|
have you seen many other women's vaginas? in photographs or live? where did you see them? did you compare yours to theirs? what did you think?
|
|
I had sexual experiences with other women, and have found that theirs resembles mine. Also, as stated above, pornographic images.
|
|
how old are you? was this the first time you took a good look at your vagina? – if it is the first time, did you expect it to look the way it does? how often do you typically look at it? when was the first time you looked at it?
|
|
I am 21. Not sure the first time I examined my own. Probably very young. I was very sexually curious. I think that other influences (especially media) has made me more uncomfortable.
|
|
have your lovers told you what they think about how your vagina looks? what did they tell you? did you ask them, or did they offer?
|
|
My first told me I had a 'pretty twat.' I didn't ask. My current has also said that I have a pretty pussy. Not sure if I believe it.

this conversation makes me think...

|
How sad it is that images projected upon us make us hate our bodies.
