You must have other standards of hygiene over there because the only benefit is when the guy hasn’t washed his dick in a couple of weeks. Perhaps that’s the reason American women are not generally in better health than European women despite the uncircumcised men in Europe.
In fact, circumcision on boys is far worse than cosmetic vaginal surgery since it’s done on children. A more proper comparison would be cosmetic vaginal surgery on babies and little girls. Lets cut off those stupid flaps and folds. Makes it so much easier to clean afterwards.
The whole chopping part of your dick off discussion again. Here two sources, one US based and one UK based. They pretty much agree on the fact that the only benefits are reducing the risks of already rare conditions, which can also (and better) be prevented through other means. Final conclusion from the Mayo clinic: benefits > risks. Final conclusion from the NHS: risks> benefits. Me feels a bit of confirmation bias of one considers to be “standard” procedure. Yes, it does make a lot of sense to chop off part of your dick to minimise already small risks, you can throw in a preventive appendectomy at the same time.
If doctors are doing abdominal surgery in that general area, they often do their in a preventative appendectomy. The risks of opening up the abdomen are greater than the benefits of removing a normal appendix, though.
Preferences are driven and created by the prevailing fashion, sense of normality, etc. Men may well in general prefer smaller labia (they don’t know what they’re missing), but that preference is driven by the same feedback loop that is causig women to feel the need to alter themselves.
It’s similar to the way that the market not only supplies demand, but also generates it and we end up with ubiquitous, shitty fast food that nobody actually directly chose or preferred.
All this talk of designer vaginas make me think it’s only a matter of time before we start seeing vagina designers. And of course, first among them will be Vera Wang.
Now that I’ve got THAT out of my system, maybe I’ll be able to sit through church this morning without breaking into fits of giggling.
That reminds me of a Readers Digest story of a lady who did a spot bathing with a wash cloth just before going to her gyno. She didn’t realize her daughter had been playing with glitter and didn’t understand the doctor’s comments until she got home. The doctor said something to the effect that it appeared she had paid special attention to things prior to her visit.
I found this thread interesting because apparently I’ve dated super models all my life and didn’t know it. No comment on the nip and tuck surgery other than the image of a woman looking in a mirror trying to decide on the perfect length. What does she then say to the surgeon? I’d like a little off the bottom?
IIRC, this involves using a laser to scar the vagina (no, I don’t mean vulva). This makes it tighter. It’s possible that having a vagina full of scar tissue doesn’t decrease the woman’s sexual pleasure. But, I can’t imagine that being so.
Are you effing kidding? I don’t think penises (or rather: men’s reptilian brains) particularly care what a vagina looks like. They’re generally just happy to have a one-on-one encounter with one (hopefully a HUMAN one). “Designer vaginas”? As S.I. might put it: “This Week’s Sign of The Apocalypse”.
I get people wanting to gently mold them like play-doh, but I could have gone happily through my whole life without ever knowing that people chop them like a play-doh fun factory.
