Yard Sale: Designer Vaginas


Hey ladies, do you want a designer vagina?

Thanks to those socially conscious mavericks known as the plastic surgery business, not only can ladies of the world get DD breasts, pursed lips, eyelids to the forehead and soar derrieres, we can also add the all new designer vagina to our shopping list.

We can enlarge our clitoris, enlarge or minimize our labia, shorten the vagina, and if you want the virgin experience, an all new hymen is just the thing for you!

Let me say, if there is some medical case for the surgery, by all means get it. If your religion forbids sex before marriage, and you could be killed for entering the vows of matrimony as a virgin plus, then the new hymen is a life saver.

Otherwise, I seriously ask women thinking about this topic to ask the following.

What the heck is a perfect vagina?

One British study I read reported that women who agreed to the study unanimously had an image of a prepubescent look that resembled American porn mags, with most bringing in magazine cut outs of porn stars and the like who had clearly been digitally altered. The study further blasted the cosmetic industry for a lack of research and patient follow up as well as an justifiable reason for the risky procedure in the first place.

Risks include lack of arousal and a variety of complications.

In my reading on the topic, most of the ladies interviewed who agreed to the surgery aren't resolving severe health issues. Many were insecure types who thought the designer vagina would make them more appealing to men. Others thought it was the miracle cure for a drab sex life. One woman remarked it would keep her husband from cheating, saying something like, and I paraphrase, 'my husband said sex with me now is like sex with someone else, but it's still me.'

Wow.

In my totally unscientific poll, I asked a few guys what they thought about the designer vagina, since men were listed as the reason most women wanted it in the first place. They weren't pleased.

"That's the last straw," yelled one southside Chicago guy, totally offended by the idiocracy of it all. "Tell women this," he said, steam rising from his nostrils. "Any man who tells their woman to get a designer vagina or leads her to think she needs one doesn't like her . . .at all. And she needs to leave him immediately."

Thanks.

I have to thank Hermene Hartman's N'digo column for bringing this topic to the forefront.
