Ah, I see. Thanks.
I seem to recall Benjamin Franklin writing once on the subject, and claiming that the nether regions of a woman were the last to show the signs of age. Between this and a claimed greater degree of enthusiasm and experience, Ben stated his preference for older women.
And nevermore, your nether regions look absolutely gorgeous. Trust me on this.
A Googe Image Search on the phrase “cheeseburger crotch” did not match any documents.
I think I’m glad, though I curse my curiosity.
Cosmetic surgery to make one’s female genitals match some idealised standard is stooopid, in my opinion.
Vulvas are like flowers. Each blossom is lovely in its own way, and no two are identical.

That’s lovely. It reminds me of the line in 1984 when he sees the young woman as a bud, and a larger older woman as a full-blown rose.
Guin-she was fine…well as fine as you can be when you’re married to a man like that.
FGM is illegal in Ireland, so it is policy in all the maternity and women’s hospitals not to re-infibulate women. Unsurprisingly there is some resistance to this.
Now I’ll spend the rest of the day listening to the soothing voice of Gal Costa singing Aquarela do Brasil in my mind… Not bad, actually.
It seems that most posters in this thread seem to think that “cosmetic gynecology” is only for changing the appearance of a woman’s vagina. Just because the word cosmetic is in the phrase “cosmetic gynecology” doesn’t mean it’s just for show. My wife (whose permission I have to post this) is interested in having it done. Due to the length of her labia, it’s uncomfortable for her to wear certain types of pants, otherwise well fitting undergarments, um…rub her the wrong way, and she has to be careful when she sits on her bicycle.
For her, and I’ll bet other women in the same situation, it has nothing to do with appearance, it’s about comfort.

One would think so, considering the rate of caesareans.
This may work a treat in some antique Babylonian idyll, but personally I can’t envisage any eleven-year-old in our climate being overjoyed at being dragged out by a bunch of women to lie naked in a muddy field, on a night probably cold enough to turn the skin purple, before being broken in with a Toblerone. :dubious:
Since the entire episode cited is purely imaginary, it does seem harsh to rag on the patriarchy for being down on it.
As an aside, has anyone ever noticed how many things male-oriented religions can find to talk about before they start on their reproductive systems? Just sayin’. 
ouryL-or you could look at the research that suggests elective c-section for twins, premature labours and breech presentations is better for the baby than a vaginal delivery.
All the hospitals that refuse to do VBAC also increase the c-section rates. Again, they’ve got their own reasons.
It’s not just about being “too posh to push”, it’s about weighing up all your probablities and coming to the conclusion that an elective c-section, rather than a long labour and difficult instrumental delivery or emergency section may be in the best interests of both mother and baby.
Could be about changing the appearance of a person’s face. :eek:
This brought tears to my eyes.
I want to bear your child, even without cosmetic gynecological surgery.

Is it OK if I whack off to a twice-life-size poster of Seven of Nine and mail you the results? Logistically that’s probably the nearest I can get.
Meanwhile, the supposition that any kind of gynie procedure must necessarily be kinder and gentler if performed as a rite-of-passage ( :eek: ) by a group of older women on a young girl rather flies in the face of observed facts as they pertain to FGM as it’s often performed, e.g. and for instance by an old harridan with a rusty tin-can lid. 
While I agree that I would not want my mother or any relative performing any sort of medical proceedure on me, I think the point of the original quote was that this particular kid felt comfortable enough with her environment that her deflowering was not outright painful. The same situation can be achieved if the young girl and her boyfriend are sufficiently patient and mentally supportive of one another. Or liquor-plyed

Let’s see - a deeply moving spiritual experience involving the wise old crones of the tribe, under the full moon at the vernal equinox and a ceremonially-blessed, elaborately-carved ebony phallus handed down for generations, or six Purple Zombies and the back seat of his mother’s Toyota.
Tough call.

Your right. Bad Pullet. Never make jokes again. Especially don’t tack on jokes to statements that acutally support your attacker’s view.
bolding mine
HANDED DOWN??? Like someone else used it? Ewwwww…
That was my next question.
In an ancient short story I read once, the towns people were convinced that it was better for a girl’s virginity to be lost to a stranger. Something about reducing the emotional damage should the relationship with one’s first sexual partner sour. So, when the girl was old enough, she was given a very pretty dress by the female relatives, who all love her dearly, and gently escorted to a twilit field to wait for the local blueballs to come by. Afterwards, the girl was free to date her sweetheart. Unless the girl was ugly. Then she had to wait 'til Blueballs was purple.
Like Malacandra said, just because it’s socially sanctioned and traditional doesn’t mean it can’t be sick.
Sorry if it came across as an attack - I was just funnin’ witcha. Sometimes I come across as an asshole even when I don’t intend it.
Here’s the part I left out

Archæogynæcological (*) discovery of note: Babylonian women had triangular vaginas. :dubious:
Of all the odd shapes to use. Surely being made woman with a three-cornered file would be on a par with giving birth to a square-headed baby? :eek:
- A neologism, I admit, but how often do you get to use two ashes in one word?
