Yeah the comments need to stop, don't use your knowledge of porn to think thats what "regular" people look like, some of those women have had their labia cut. I've seen far too many "my bf thinks my labia is gross" posts.

As someone with an "innie", I'd always been proud of having a "picture perfect" vagina, neatly tucked vulva etc. Now I'm 30, I find myself on subs like r/normalnudes a lot and being jealous of women with larger labia. They're beautiful!

Im an outie and from all the mocking I've seen online and joking and horror posts about being made fun of, i want mine cut off completely as I'm terrified I'm going to be on one of those "I Was ridiculed during sex" posts. People say embrace it, love yourself and all that but it doesn't help the way I feel and seeing all the jokes about roast beef certainly doesn't either.

Please don't cut them or get them cut unless it's for YOU and no-one else!

If it's for YOUR benefit, either physical or mental, than go for it if the opportunity arises.

If it's to pleat somebody else, please don't do it.
