Too Small, Too Smelly, Too Hairy

This is what Canadian post-secondary students think of their genitals. Well, at least the virgins do. A new study posted on the website of the Electronic Journal of Human Sexuality has shown that the more sex a post-secondary student has had, the more comfortable they are with their bits. Not only that, but men are more likely to be comfy with their penises than women are with thier vaginas.

That said, when people have issues with their penises or vaginas, the issues are similar across the board. Men fear their penises are too small, and women worry about the smell and hairiness of their vaginas.

There's lots more stuff in the study including findings that people who like the way they look are more likely to be comfortable with their sexuality (meaning: willing to have sex with the lights on, willing to undress in front of someone else, etc) AND that women who have experienced cunnilingus are happier with their vaginas.

It's a collection of things that seem fairly obvious (if not a little sad), and now there's proof.

The take-away point here: love your genitals! They mean you no harm!
