Question: Well I have a long labia minora...

Personally....I think that when a guy is having sex with you, the size of your labia is the last thing on his mind! He's just thinking.....oh yeah, I love loving this girl/woman!! I promise! And I'm sure they're aware that all of us are built different, just like the guys are all built different. Who would want everyone to be the same? And if he loves you....it doesn't matter one bit to him. :)

It may be awkward, but you wouldn't believe what some people ask their OB/GYN. If you don't ask the Dr. can't answer. She is a trained professional and I think if anything were really wrong she would let you know.

Longer labia is actually very common. I woundn't worry about getting surgery unless it is causing discomfort. You can always talk to your OB/GYN about it if it seriously bothers you.

I soo no what you mean! its soo awkward!

yeah they should talk about how everything looks different and show real pictures

You know, I didn't even know that people could have long labia until I came across a webpage on it. Then I asked my boyfriend if I did and he went 'Oh, yeah, you do. Yours are quite long actually.' XD I felt really self-conscious and got all embarrassed, but he just shrugged and said 'Vaginas are as different as faces. It really doesn't bother me. Actually, I quite like it. Guys tend to.' :P As long as he's fine with it I'm not too fussed. But srsly, everybody's different. Dw about it.

I am only 19 and still a virgin. I've been to an OB before and she said that since I am not at risk for any STDs/STIs that I can wait until I'm 21. Since I am so uncomfortable with this condition, I definitely want to wait as long as I can. I also don't feel comfortable asking the doctor if everything looks good down there. I feel that it's a little awkward.

well if you have never had a pap smear and you are over 21 or have been sexually active for at least 2yrs, its time to get check-ups at least once every 2 years (my doctors words).

I am very surprised at how common this is. I took so many health courses in high school and they never once mentioned this to be normal. I hardly have self-esteem as it is, but this made me feel even worse. I am wondering though, is there a little discoloration on the larger labia? I have always wondered if there might be something more going on with mine since it seems to be . I have never had a pap smear, so I don't know how things are suppose to be.

I used to be embarrassed by my labia. I watched a little porn, and all the women looked like they didn't even have inner labia.
But you know what? My boyfriend says he loves my vagina/vulva. He literally compliments me at least once a week, and not because I said anything. A lot of guys like a little labia, rather than none at all. So long as they don't get in the way, there is nothing wrong. If a guy says anything, it's probably because he's a virgin, and watches way too much overly plasticized porn. So, don't take that shit.
