 do you like the way your vagina looks?
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.

 
For a long time i didnt. My inner lips hang down about an inch and a half below my outer ones, and they are puffy and almost red. I asked my mother once when i was younger if she was built the same and she said,"yes. I think we're like that because we're both fat." That made me feel gross for a long time. I dont anymore, though.

 
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 have seen some, some in real life and some from teh porn industry. I did compare, but i also know that porn, like any industry, has a certain standard for beauty. I know i dont meet that standard, but it doesnt mean i cant be beautiful in my own way.

 
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?

  37. And i had taken a good look many years ago, even talked with my gynocologist about my shape and he told me i was "completely normal." I was in my late 20s at the time. I dont generally look at it on purpose, its sort of right there all the time, lol, but it looks like me, i guess.

 
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?

  i have had two who have spend quality time in the area, and both of them have been very complimentary. One enjoyed them immensely in a physical way, and the other told me it was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. They both offered their opinion freely, and i feel very pretty because of it.

 
this conversation makes me think...

  I'm not the normal but i dont have to be. I know i look lush and different, I'd rather be with a man who loves me for me then feel as if i'm not a "normal' woman who's had his views shaped by a society raised on pornography.
