do you like the way your vagina looks?

since i was young, i've been extremely disturbed and ashamed of my outer vaginal lips
, because one side is larger than the other. for years i actually believed that something i'd done (masturbating?) had made it look that way and if i stopped doing it, it would "fix" it. actually i'd just started coming to accept my body, i'm in a loving longterm relationship (i'm 24 years old, a lesbian), and then last year i changed gynecologists and my new doctor made a very no-nonsense comment about the appearance of my vagina ("has it always been like this?"). yeah... way to make me feel good about myself, doc! i've been sort of knocked back into those old issues because of that. i wish i knew that other women are not always "symmetrical" so i don't feel so freakish about myself.

Get out your handmirror and tell us what you think about how your vagina looks!So, what do you think about how your vagina looks?
Share your thoughts by responding to the questionnaire.

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 it's the question that kicked off vagina vérité®, and that's what I've always called it...although, that's changing...—Alexandra
