This thread inspired me to reexamine my position, which I did last evening. I’m still in the majority. ---

Covered by a small, tight lycra bikini bottom, a cameltoe is aesthetically appealing.😉 ---

So, out of 138 people, 96 like performing oral sex and like the look of female genitals - which works out at about 69% 🙂 ---

I’m a straight female but I’ve never had sex, so I have no idea what oral sex is like. Oddly enough though, for a straight woman, I think that female genitalia are more attractive than male genitalia. They’re much more compact and if our legs are closed you just see a neat little triangle. Although I don’t think that long labia minora (i.e. “meat curtains”) are attractive. I have a very underdeveloped labia minora. I have to get a mirror, lay on my back, pry open my labia majora, and look VERY closely to see my labia minora. ---

Of course you’re completely entitled to that opinion (and I really mean that) - this is definitely a matter of personal taste. As a straight male, I personally rather prefer the look of large/long labia, but they’re nearly all nice, regardless. In any case, I think it’s really important for ladies to realise that there is quite a spectrum of variability to the possible appearance of their lady parts - I find it a bit sad to know that there are women who think they need surgery to conform to some notion of normality that is actually just one way that things could possibly look. ---

> [@Mangetout](#): > > they’re nearly all nice, regardless. Yeah. Big or small, tucked away or flapping in the breeze, or anything in between, it’s all good. It’s like with kittens: Despite all their variety, they still all score a 10 out of 10 on the scale. ---

I hate to think there are women out there who are worried about how they look down there. Please believe me, you all look great. There’s really no place nicer to visit! That’s one of the reasons we can be such idiots some times. Really. You look absolutely gorgeous. ---

Given a relatively small sampling of observation in real life, and a relatively large sampling of observation in porn, I’ll say that for the most part I dislike the appearance of female genitalia. On occasion there are those that actually look quite pleasant, but by and large, not aesthetically pleasing to me. I still like oral sex just fine though. I’m a bit surprised by the results; I expected a wider distribution of votes when I first read the poll.
