A while back, I posted this gemstone about grooming for the privates doctor. Since I only received two emails telling me I wasn’t very proper for discussing such things, I think it’s okay for me to move along with the following topic. After all, most of you responded with your thoughts about the issue, and didn’t seem the least bit appalled. And I thank you kindly for that. (By the way, so long as we’re discussing whether I’m proper or not, I might add that I’ve never claimed to be the epitome of or a model for what one might deem as ‘proper’. Further more, what is ‘proper’ and what isn’t is quite relative. But enough about this..)
On to the real shebang:
Recently, my attention was once again caught by a tiny tidbit in Glamour. The article the tidbit accompanied was called, ‘You Want A Prettier What?’. I’m pretty sure the title says it all.
In short, it discussed people wanting to have their bellybuttons completely removed from their bodies, butt implants, labiaplasty, toe shortening or lengthening, shoulder lipo, and belly button reshaping.
First, I want to put out there the fact that while I am not likely to participate in any sort of drastic cosmetic surgery, I under that people do. I don’t have really have an overall opinion about it. It’s six one way and half a dozen the other to me. Additionally, I say ‘drastic cosmetic surgery’, because I once had two moles removed for cosmetic purposes. While that wasn’t a total booby overhaul or a belly button removal, it was still cosmetic.
But completeremoval of the belly button? Seriously?
Can you imagine if one of your friends was like, “Hey, Sally-Jo-Whats-her face, I’m going tomorrow to have my belly button removed!” You might be a little taken back.While the belly button serves no purpose after a birth, voluntarily having it removed strikes a strange chord with me.
But who am I to question belly button removal?
Anyway,
Beneath the portion of the article discussing labiaplasty was a question answer session with men about vaginas.
The question was, of course, “Hey, guys: Is there any such thing as an ugly vagina?” And I was all geared up to read the responses. To me, privates are funny looking. I wouldn’t call them ugly, just natural. At the same time, there are plenty of people that deem them just plain ugly
The men Glamour interview claimed a variety of things:
A character named Jay said,
I really can’t imagine what would make a vagina hideous. Let’s face it, genitals are kind of weird-looking to begin with.”
I’m with you on that Jay. They are pretty funny looking.
The next gentlemen, calls himself Brian and says,
All vaginas are beautiful. If there is a place made by God, it’s a woman’s vagina and it ought not to be messed with.
And well, while I like Brian’s positive attitude about vaginas, I have to admit that to me, it was a creepy sort of statement. As the owner of a vagina, I appreciate Brian’s support. But still.
On to Ravi,
Men usually don’t care about how a vagina looks. They’re thinking only about how good it feels.”
ugh. Ravi, Ravi, Ravi. Why did you have to go there? You could have just said the first sentence and then walked off. I hope your girlfriend’s mother sees this. Or even better, your grandmother.
Finally, Marc says,
No way! My advice to women is to love your vagina for all its uniqueness, splendor and glory. But if I had to make a choice about what constitutes the ‘perfect’ vagina, I would choose for it to be in the shape of the New York Jets Logo.”
Oh, ladies and gents, if you are not familiar with such a logo, I know that you are dying to google image it as we speak. Fortunately, I have saved you the trouble.
I’m assuming Marc means the football in the picture, and bless his heart for providing a visual aid.heh.
Privates are pretty funny looking, and I suppose any part of the body is funny looking if you think about it long enough.
As far as remodels go, I understand that some women do have to have this procedure due to medical necessity. However, the article discussed the fact that some women are undergoing a labiaplasty simply because they desire a “more perfect” vagina. Really? REALLY? A more perfect vagina?
If that’s your thing, dwell on it, I guess.
I suppose if I had to have any of the procedures, and I mean, HAD to or DIE in a pit of lava while being simultaneously eaten by piranhas. I would have my second toe shortened on each foot. It’s always bothered me that it is longer than the first. I suppose that in the same way something so trivial as toe lengthbothers me, an ugly vagina is bothering someone out there.
What are your thoughts? Are privates ugly? hideous? natural? gorgeous? Do you want to swim in a pool of them like Ravi? What if you HAD to have either butt implants, toe lengthening/shortening, shoulder lipo, or belly button reshaping or else get thrown into a pit of lava? which would you have done?
