There have been countless threads on this topic, but I still find myself extremely uncomfortable with my Labia Minora.

I'm 16 years old, and in my opinion, my Labia Minora are extremely large, but very rarely do they make me uncomfortable physically. However, on the emotional side of things, I'm extremely embarrased and horrified of anyone, including my current boyfriend, seeing them.

I've read numerous threads about this very issue, and many people suggest that men love large labia, or at least don't mind them, but this gives me little comfort. Maybe it's a teenage stubborness thing, but I'm still not convinced.

Being 16, I'm still obviously not fully mature and I can make rash decisions, but I've only contemplated surgery a few times. However, if anyone has any information on this particular solution, if I do want to think about surgery more, I'd be glad. This can include parental consent for a surgery, if I need to even TELL my parents that I'm getting a surgery (If I decide to), or how much it costs, if it's covered by insurance, etc.

If anyone has MSN or AIM and wants to talk about this further, just let me know what your screen name or email is and I can add you. I'm almost contemplating suggesting people see actual pictures of my said ugly labia minora, but I'm afraid that would come off the wrong way.

I'm just an extremely insecure teenager in regards to my anatomy "down there" and need honest opinions that are being told directly to me. I'd rather not dread ever having oral sex or intercourse with my boyfriend because of my insecurities. I'm still a virgin, but this issue is always in the back of my mind. Help!

I STRONGLY urge you to really take some time and think this through. Take a look at this news article: foxnews.com/story/0,2933,295392,00.html?sPage=fnc.health/sexualhealth

If the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists can't find any evidence that these surgeries are safe or effective you should very VERY cautious. NO medical insurance will cover any "cosmetic" surgeries so you'd be faced with out of pocket expense for the entire procedure AND any complications that may arise afterwards. Surgery is extremely expensive and extremely risky and should only be sought for a serious medical condition for which there is no alternative.

So you don't like an aspect of your anatomy. Welcome to life. I can promise you that EVERY HUMAN BEING has something about their body they don't like that no one else ever noticed or even cares about. If every human was mass produced in a machine to look exactly the same with "perfect parts" you'd see people going to all sorts of extremes to look different.

Life is way to short and precious to spend obsessing about something you can't control or change. Lastly, I swear to you, as a man I'm infinately MORE aroused by large, meaty, labia (both majora and minora). Men's genitals are all external so its only natural that they relate better to EXTERNAL genitalia. Case in point, ever see a guy not eyeball a large pair of breasts?

Consider yourself lucky, you are blessed and don't even know it.

Lastly, I'd advise against sending out pics of your anatomy for approval from strangers. You never know who you are really sending the pics to. Sending obscene or pornographic material over the internet is a felony.

Good luck to you and I hope you find the answers you are looking for without risking your health.

I totally understand and am in the same boat. I'm now 42 and happily married. Although I still look "down there" and think it's ugly, my gyn assured me it's normal, my husband doesn't understand why this is/was an issue for me. He is totally satisfied with me sexually. So you don't win any beautiful
labia awards, so what?! Sex with you is no better for guys than with a gal
with a gorgeous labia (small). Besides, whose to say what's normal or good?
Accept yourself. You're not alone.
