Tight-Lipped

In a post a while back, I spoke about labiaplasty: a costmetic surgery procedure that involves the reshaping of the labia. The New York Daily News had a story on this same thing earlier this week, and it sheds some light on whether or not these procedures are effective and/or necessary.

Many women who elect for either vaginoplasty or labiaplasty claim they're doing it to improve the sensations they feel during sex. Others do it for sexual confidence. Some women do it because they feel pain during intercourse (a reason I can understand). But the vagina seems to be the last battleground of cosmetic surgery. What could be next? Cosmetic surgery to enhance the appearance of the fallopian tube?

I think that — unless you make a living from having perfectly formed labia (whatever that would look like) — the issues of beautiful labia, a gorgeous vagina, and a fantastic sex life are more often between the ears than between the legs.
