and yes, cooch lifting has been around for a while, but it looked to be a regional-LA-kinda-thang. but once you have a "Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation Institute" in Washington DC, you figure it won't be long before there is one of them Institutes in Pikeville Kentucky.
fuckin' pathetic

Procedures Popularized In L.A.'s 90210 Come to D.C.'s 20037
Christopher A. Warner says he considers himself something of a maverick, a caring physician willing to challenge medical orthodoxy in order to help women.
That's why the 39-year-old board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist recently opened the Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation Institute of Washington in a red brick townhouse off Washington Circle. There, he is building a business as the first area physician to perform controversial procedures that use a laser to enhance sexual gratification by repairing tissue damaged by childbirth, to give women a "youthful aesthetic look" or to make those who are not appear to be virgins.
"I'm asked about these procedures a lot," said sex therapist Laura Berman, who directs an eponymous clinic for women in Chicago. "We're in a culture, unfortunately, where most women are falling down a slippery slope with plastic surgery. It's very disturbing."

Would this be the place to bring up the topic of anal bleaching? No? Oh, right....there is no proper place for that.
This world is just nuts. Nuts, I tell ya.
A good quote:
And Nawal Nour, an assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Harvard Medical School, is no fan of what she calls "designer vaginas."
"I have always believed that empowerment is via the brain, not the body," Nour said.
For some men, it's hot. First one in, and all. Whatevs.
This is indeed freaky. I have heard of women getting some reconstruction because after having kids, they were so 'stretched out' the sex was terrible for all involved. Or stitched up to tight that it was painful (post episiotomy or tearing). Fine. That's all well and good.
But as an elective? To 'be prettier'? Hell, men are usually happy they are getting any. Women do hold that power and shouldn't feel insecure about their vaginal area as well as everywhere else.
I used to worry about my buddha belly, but my sex life has never suffered because of it so it's a non-issue. Because again, men are usually happy they are getting any.
ugh
ugh
Wow...

Eventually, maybe surgeons will be able to make a giant slice across the top of a woman's head --- grab firm hold of a handful of head skin --- *YANK!* real hard and in one mighty swoop *PRESTO!* there's a lift for the entire body at once --- face - neck & chin - breasts - tummy - nanny hoohoo - thighs - calves & ankles! Everything a couple of inches higher & taut instantly!
Voila!
Sad...just sad.
I do NOT need a perkier hoo-hoo, thanks.
I've also heard of women wanting to do 're-virginize' themselves as a gift for 'the guy they should have saved themselves for.' (I haven't clicked on the article, so it might be in there, too).
It's hard for me to even begin commenting on that. Is it guilt from having a life beforehand? WTF?
"Disapproving Hoo Hoos" ???

Don't they sell Virgin pills at Spencer's Gifts? It's been a while since I've hung out at the mall, but I'm pretty sure they sell such items there. Probably just as effective as the surgery.
And LT, that makes me think that they would pay to have the women revirginized and them make them go in for voluntary female circumcision. I read an article about that sometime in the past year and it made me physically ill.
You know some people need a shrink not a plastic surgeon.
BTW geisha did not bind their feet. They are Japanese. It was the chinese that bound the feet of upper class girls. It was kind of a cultural body modification. I am not saying it was a good thing but corseting and high heels in Europe cultures seem to me to be as ghastly as foot binding.
I wonder what Annie Sprinkle has to say about this.
I spent enough time in post partum (one semester of nursing school and one shift at the hospital) I don't want to see anymore please. Your post reminded me of when a transgendered friend got her new "plumbing". She was so pleased she showed everyone.
