If you had asymmetrical labia
and you could get free surgery to get them evened out (by reducing the bigger one), would you do it?
Let's say you had excessive flaps.
Would you consider it?
(related to circ discussion -- someone seemed surprised I would want flabby beef curtains cut off. I figured most people would.)

I might think about it in an "If I could change something about my body, it'd be ..." but I would never seriously do it.
Edited to add: This is only because I'm a grown-up. I wouldn't begrudge anyone if they got my flaps chopped when I was a baby and too young to remember/understand.

11/11/11 = 5 years. Woah!
hmmm on second thought I wonder if asymetrical labia is like a fetish and I could make more money in porn if I had them? If so, then no I would not.

I'd have to say I'm on the opposite side of the fence on that one. I'm pretty sure I'd be freaked the foff out to know my parents had my baby girl bits chopped off because they were lopsided. Unless my mom was Jarbaby, in which case I'd already have a pretty good understanding of the level of crazy that exists there. And she'd need those out of the way so she'd have a better view for her daily hymen checks
(Disclaimer: I didn't read any of the circ debate, so if there was some medical need for a baby's "excessive flaps" being chopped that I am unaware about, I may stand corrected. But as it stands, I find it completely icky)
If I had weird looking labia, I'd be open to getting them chopped off.
The free plastic surgery is only in theory because typically circumcision is covered by insurance. If you're paying thousands of dollars for the labia surgery, the comparison isn't equal.

Maybe I am just not detail oriented but I don't really think it makes any difference at all.

The un-cut guy I was with was very fastidious about hygiene but there was always some gunk under there and it grossed me out. Plus it just smelled/tasted different. I didn't much like it. Personal preference. I realize not everyone feels the same.
I DO wonder if any girls (or guys) see a cut wang and thing "Not bad, but I wish he still had some foreskin!"

whashesaid.
I never gave my labia much thought but now I'm paranoid my are uneven or weird and feel like I need to go check them out. I would not have surgery on them if they were weird, only because I am deathly askeered of any kind of surgery/needles.
Not always. Male circ is considered "cosmetic surgery" by many ins companies and is not covered.
The hair grows in thick where the horn used to be.
hypothetically, could you tie them together around the crotch of your panty?
if yes, then I would!
If I had to tuck one side into my sock, then I would too.
If it was throwing off my balance, because one side was so much heavier, then I would.
if I just had a minor asymmetry...probably not.
one side of my inners (tmi, woot.) tore right in half during a baby birthing incident (the baby was coming out of MY vagine.) and I had to pee through a funnel for weeks because it hurt so goddamn badly.
it would have to be apretty jank labe for me to want to suffer any unnecessary trauma in my nethers again.
Im ALL about getting a boob job, though!
I love everything about this comment. Except the ripping part. YEEE-OUCH.

you seem to have thought a lot about this.
so where is the circ debate? I am always amazed by what people think other people should do with their sons' penises
The debate is on PC&E. I have no issues of uncircumcised penises. My guy isn't and I have never found any "gunk" on his penis and it smells no different than any other penis. All penises cut or uncut look the same when they are hard, so I see no issue. If I have boys I highly doubt I will have them circumcised.
If my labia was large I would have surgery. I would think just for the fact that sex would be uncomfortable. But I find the comparison of a large labia and a circumcised penis to be ridiculous.
If I'm not willing to yank mah hairs for aesthetic reasons, I don't think surgery is going to be an option.
Also, am I the only one whose labia, you know, feels good? I can't see wanting less, barring gait-changing circumstances.

Miles' bris wasn't covered by insurance.
I've never even seen an uncircumcised wiener live before.
I'm pretty sure that unless my labia approached freakish levels, I would opt out of the surgery, free or not.
Yes. I would have to be approaching some real oddity before I'd consider vag surgery. (Mouse, I know it's not actually vaginal surgery)
The nerve!

No labia cutting. I've already had my vagina cut and stretched and recovered from that, ain no way I'm doing any surgery downt here just for looks.
I'm thissing all up in this joint. Ethan's circ wasn't covered by our insurance, but we have pretty crappy insurance.
I've never seen an uncircumcised wiener. I honestly didn't care either way, but Zane strongly wanted it done. I left that one totally up to him.
I have no desire to have surgery in my nether regions. At this point, there is only one person consistently seeing it, so there really isn't a point. He's already watched a baby coming out of it. I don't think he's going to care if it's wonky.
this thread is HILARIOUS.
I would totally have my meatflaps cut down if they swung to and fro. I do not want to tie them in a knot, or in a bow. Nor do I care to throw them over my shoulder, like a continnental soldier. If my meatflaps hung low.
I once totally cut one in half whilst trimming the area before prom (I've told this story before). It was AMAZING how quickly that shiz healed (not in time to do the sex after prom, to my bf's chagrin). It's so vascular that it would recover very well with any surgery or tear.
Also, I will just say, that area is pretty swollen for me right now due to the pregnancy. Sometimes it can be uncomfortable to walk or my underpants catch them in a weird way. It's not just a vainity thing--low meaty flaps would just be uncomfy.

Eh, after the nurse kept referring to my vag as my bottom (am I chicken?) this seems like a minor offense.

Mine definitely differentiated the two. They made a point of telling me when they were checking for hemorrhoids. Um....thanks.
I cannot answer this, since I have forgotten what my vagina looks like.
But probably not. Like PP, I would entertain the *** out of a boob job.
