[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two friends just had this done at 50. I’m grossed out by it honestly. I’ve lived for the male gaze long enough- they aren’t worth it.

As someone with larger inner labia, it’s not always about the male gaze. When the inner labia protrude beyond the outer labia, it can be extremely uncomfortable. I have frequently had issues with biking and horseback riding because of the pressure on the vulva (and those lips) can pinch those labia. It is very painful.

During PIV intercourse, I have to “open” them up to avoid them accidentally getting pushed inside of the vulva during thrusting, or pinched. Again, that’s all super painful. There can be a great deal of adjusting of the vulva that needs to be done when sitting to avoid discomfort, and I often use Vaseline on them to avoid chafing.

I considered doing the surgery solely for these issues, and also because I felt it was abnormal (a midwife when I was 24 had told me mine were “pretty bad” when I mentioned embarrassment about them, which gave me a complex). It took me a lot of self love and reading books with real photos of real vulvas to realize mine were completely in the realm of normal, even if I did not look like and adult film star. [/quote]

I have those too super long and a bit frilly. When they get poked in during sex I laugh and pull them out.  And hold them open if necessary. Yeah sometimes they get pulled and it’s uncomfortable. It’s fleeting. I also had a pretty significant tear in one during birth, abrasions too. They healed.

Honestly, I would be concerned with any change that could effect clitoral sensation or pudendal nerve. [/quote]

And I apologize to the person I’m quoting. I am really angry your midwife said that that’s messed up! Vulva magic balm is lovely and I use that sometimes in the summer - it helps with chaffing and prevents rashes from overheating .
