#body positivism

Last week I had a very interesting conversation with a few colleagues about body positivity. At some point one of my colleagues said it was very brave of some people to expose themselfs (anonymously) on (sex) blogs. And while there are lots of people exposing themselfs, there are also lots of people who struggle with their appearance and are afraid to show themselfs to others!

So today i was thinking: why not show some appreciation to those (especially women) who are insecure how they vagina/vulva look!

First of all, everyone’s genitals are different, and that’s a really great thing. Variations in size, shape, structure, color, and sensitivity abound. It wouldn’t be normal if we all had the same looks right?

About the labia minora: Well some lips might be small and short, and others might be larger and be visible past the outer lips. Some will be bumpy-textured (they are made of the same type of tissue as the scrotum) and be wrinkled, some will be smooth. Some will plump up noticeably and change color as blood flows into the tissues when arousal happens.  I have seen a few and I must tell you that the uniqueness of a vagina (size, shape, etc.) makes it appealing. Often, one side of the lips will hang lower than the other, just like one of the testicles of men hangs lower than the other! That’s totally normal. Some lips will be pale pink, others dark pink, red, dark red, purplish, light brown, or dark brown.

About the Labia Majora: Some lips will appear more closed, hiding the labia minora, some won’t. Some will have more pubic hair on them than others.

At the end of the day it’s still a vagina, and the appearence of your private parts makes each and every one of you unique! Don’t let anybody else say different! Ladies learn about yourself, use a mirror, explore every inch of your body (alone or with your partner). Our body makes us who we are!
