the plastic vagina revolution.

Last night, I was hanging out with grovesphoto
At one point, I grabbed the latest issue of Playboy and began perusing the pages.
to my horror, I discovered an article about the increasing popularity of (get this) vaginal cosmetic surgery.



great, just great.
first, we maneuver really sharp objects really close to places they really don't belong to de-fur ourselves.
then, we decide to start ripping our pubic hair out by the roots
after that, if our breasts weren't big enough, we'd have squishy thingys surgically inserted to get our knockers up to snuff.
and now, women are going under the knife to make their vaginas more attractive and sexually pleasing?

some of the options for women seeking to enhance their genitalia are
Vaginoplasty, a purely aesthetic procedure in which the vagina is given a more "youthful" appearance.
Vaginal Rejuvenation Vaginoplasty, which tightens everything up. instant gratification for people who are too lazy to do Kegels.
how it's done: "A vaginoplasty (commonly referred to
as vaginal rejuvenation) is when a diamond shaped section of tissue is excised
from the inside of the vagina and brought down to the outside of the vagina.
Often times a small triangular area is also excised from the perineum (the area
right below the vaginal opening)."
Labia Majora Fat Injections to, and I quote "increase the fullness of the outer lips of the vagina." this procedure speaks for itself.
Pubic Liposuction and Lift, to get rid of "unsightly fat deposits in the pubic region".
Hymenoplasty, to return the vagina to a virginal state.
there are also people who opt to get their clitoral hoods trimmed - a type of female circumcision, if you will.

one procedure I find particularly disturbing (aside from the snippy snippy of the clit hood) is labiaplasty, in which uneven, "unsightly" labia minora are trimmed down.
how it's done: "various instruments are used such as
pinpoint cautery, Yag lasers, fine scissors, or a knife. The edges are then sewn
together with delicate absorbable sutures."
we're talking about women in their early twenties and thirties having pieces of their bodies hacked off so they can look more like porn stars.

You know, other cultures have a history of trimming up things in that area, too - in Somalia, it used to be (and still is, in some regions), common practice to cut a young girl's clitoris clean off.

labiaplasty isn't just "cosmetic procedure"
it's fucking mutilation.

another absolutely ridiculous procedure that's becoming popular is G-spot injection.
here's an amusing little side note for you: In preparation for writing this, I did a little research, and found out that "there is no confirmed scientific evidence that supports the existence of a particular physiological area known as the 'G-spot', The common belief that the "G-spot" is composed of a dense collection of nerve endings is not scientifically supported by existing research."

from what I gathered, it goes as follows - first, they tell you to find the blasted thing (which is obviously a very precise way to determine where it is - I know if I was having surgery on, say, my liver, I'd feel more comfortable if they let me find it on my own and I told them where to cut). Then, they numb you up and shoot some collagen into it, giving you a nice little speedbump that supposedly makes G-spot stimulation easier and more intense.

because apparently, guys need all the help they can get finding a button that isn't directly attached to a remote control.

as every woman is different, there is no one specific location for this "organ".
now, maybe I'm just a bit on the cautious side, but I sure as hell don't want somebody in a doctor's coat poking around, searching for something that just might not exist and has no confirmed location (well, maybe I might like that. but not for surgical reasons), then inserting a sharp foreign object into my vagina and shooting me up.

the most common side effect of G-spot injection is incontinence.
so not only do you have what feels like a squishy tumor hanging out in your *insert riculous vaginal euphemism here, I can't bear to type any of the ones I can think of*, there's a chance that you'll end up voiding your bladder and bowels right as you're about to start yodeling, screaming, making wookiee noises - whatever does it for you.
sexy

for the small fee of just $1800, you too can piss yourself with every orgasm.
um, no.

our society has fucked up enough beauty standards as it is.
keep them away from my crotch.

special thanks to mordere for the icon. *hump*
