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.

 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

do you like the way your vagina looks? go into some detail about what you do or don't like about it.
|
|
Yeah, I do. It's quite petite and neat, and pretty symmetrical. I don't get the whole "big pussy lips are good" thing.
|
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?
|
|
Yeah, when we were around 11, I had some friends over, and everyone in turn was told to drop their pants.
|
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'm 16. I looked at my vulva for the first time aged 9 or 10, with the aid of a mirror. I was curious, I guess. It just looks like a vulva, I had no expectations. I don't look at it very often.
|
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've been told that it's good, sexy and the general stuff. I think I asked. Can't really remember.
|
this conversation makes me think...
|
|
Of one fateful night...haha.
