And the unrealistic expectations generated by internet porn strike again.

So let's all sing together, shall we?

Ohhhhhhh...
Do your lips hang low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot?
Can you tie them in a bow?

I know someone who has this issue and is greatly disturbed by it. All her doctors have told her that she is within normal ranges, but she feels abnormal and obsesses about it. Thank you for posting this article, I have emailed it to her for a little perspective.

And wingnut... Clever use of the bassett hound song (it was originally about ears).

i now feel a general numbness in my nether-region, pain during sex, and a near-perpetual yeast infection ... but hey, my cootie now looks faaabulous.

[...] In other words, says the study's co-author, social worker Laura Berman, of Chicago's Northwestern Memorial Hospital, who has a PhD in sex education, the best way to start enjoying your body could be far simpler than surgery: "You may need a new boyfriend."
i'm down with this advice.

Oh yeah, since a scrotum is a much more beautiful piece of anatomy.

You don't think that male anatomy is attractive?

I've spent a lot of time pondering this topic (really). I've looked at a variety of pictures of male and female bits. Not porn, where very specific and unrealistic proportions are highly represented, but galleries of medical images, artistic images. And I'll be honest...I think the human body, the human sex organs, are amazingly complex and a wonder to behold. Those who aren't willing to appreciate the visual appeal, the unique lengths and nooks and niches and veins that make us indivuals in all ways miss out on so much beauty.

Only mine. Glad to have it. ;)

Other than that, I'm only inclined to observe and appreciate female anatomy...curvy. That 3-2-3 ratio.

I really like the female gait. Just the general movement, the swaying I guess. A feminine walk really gets me. Not ridiculous, but I prefer a girl that doesn't stomp down the sidewalk.

I've been to the scarleteen boards before... and in spite of the way this article opens, i can honestly tell you guys that the moderators there do their best to try to instill positive self-image and sooth away these sorts of self-conciousnesses before they become full blown obsessions.
