Surgery

Hello all,
It has recently come to my attention that a large number of the female population are having surgery to reduce their labia minora. I have one thing to say:
Please, for the love of God, leave your bodies alone. Large labia minora are not only natural, but are beloved by a large amount of men.

I just don't get why people have to change what God gave them.
Sorry for the soapbox....

Sincerely,

Jerry

Cottontail, I think Jrnokes point was a positive message of pro-body acceptance. That is a big part of what being a nudist is. I wouldn't promote body issues here where we enjoy what god/nature gave us. I met a guy here who didn't want to go to the nude beach without inflating his balls first. It blew my mind! What? Do we have to have giant breasts and balls and phallii and tiny labia to hit the beach now? I agree with Jr. I think plastic surgery is usually done because of shame, not fun. We promote fun here.

Thank you, yes..... sorry, I am in such shock that I can't communicate properly, but also, surgery is dangerous! Why can't we all just be happy with what we have - What God gave us and drive on???? What next? - Ack! I really did not mean to ask that....Nooooooooo....

RE: Surgery

I've got scars on different parts of my body. I got them from living a hard, active life. Each one was earned - each one demonstrates a milestone on the road I've traveled. Suppose I wanted to get rid of them? Would you forbid me that totally un-neccessary plastic surgery? Would you tell me I'm not allowed to get a tattoo to cover them up? If so, what business is it of yours?

I'm really not trying to be rude here, but that's the bottom line. What business is it of yours what someone else does to make themselves feel better about their body? Does it end at the relatively harmless procedures you've brought up? What about people that get liposuction, tummy tucks, stomach stapling? What about ladies that get bigger boobs, for their own self-esteem? What about "permanent make-up"? What about people with brown eyes that wear green contacts? What about ladies seeing that first touch of grey, who decide to go out and get their hair died?

In my opinion, there's little difference in any of these things. They're all procedures done to combat nature. They're all done to make the the person who occupies that body feel more comfortable in it. They don't affect me, as I'm not the one experiencing the pain, I'm not the one bearing the cost, and I'm not the one reaping the benefit. In short, it's none of my business. It's none of my business who gets what body part pierced. I'd be happy if society would treat it as none of their business as well.

If Society would decide that it's none of their business, then maybe they would also see that it's also none of their business who goes nude at a given beach, and that nudity in general is no threat to Society. People need to just mind their own business, stay out of everyone else's business, and the world would be a happier place...

If that guy was a personal friend of mine, I may have a word with him about how totally un-needed his "ball inflating" ritual was. As it is, it's no skin off my nose. Most plastic surgery isn't done out of shame - it's done from medical necessity. Those procedures that aren't done out of need are done because someone is unhappy about some portion of their body and wants to be happy. I don't think "shame" enters into it - people that are ashamed by their bodies aren't going to go out and show off the "new, improved" versions anyway.

Cottontail, I don't think JR is telling anybody what to do or how to get there, just like you he's stating his opinion. Hehe...I'm only mentioning it to you as it looks like you are jumping down the poor guys throat. lol

Anyways, I agree with you Cottontail, a person's body is their decision. Though, I wish more people would have surgery because of medical or their own reasons, not because they are trying to have the "perfect body" that the media states we should have.

There is a huge difference between having plastic surgery because of a deformity, burns, scars birth defects, and the cosmetic type done to look like Barbie or some actor. I agree, leave the body alone , simply because any surgery involves risk

Years ago, I was watching an interview with Janet Jackson. Topics ranged all over the place, but eventually included Michael and his many surgeries. Janet pointed out that in her view (and it's a view shared by millions of other people), Michael is an artist, first and foremost. He regards his body as just another canvas, to be painted upon at will, until it has the "look" he thinks it should have. Personally, I think he should have never begun, much less carried the work out as far as he did, but then again, it's not my body - not my canvas.

I have the same opinion of that one woman that had the several dozen surgeries trying to give herself the perfect "Barbie" body. Her body, not mine. I would never chop the roof of a 1957 Bel-Aire, or make it into a low rider capable of 3-wheel motion... but I respect the choices of those that would do so. I would never shorten the barrel of a match-grade Springfield 03-A3, or cut down the stock to make it into a sporting rifle - but I respect the choices of those who do. It's not my property. It's theirs, to do with as they please.

If a personal friend came to me for advice regarding a specific operation, I would judge that person's desires against his/her needs, and give specific advice - for that person and that situation alone. It bothers me when someone makes a blanket statement that people "should never do such-and-such". Until you've walked that mile in their shoes, you have no right to give unsolicited advice as to the rightness or wrongness of any given course of action. That said... the original poster certainly is entitled to his opinon - it's an opinion that I tend to agree with most of the time. But just because I tend to have that opinion as well doesn't give me the right to spout off my moral codes as though they were handed down to me by God on a stone tablet. The original poster would do well to keep in mind the tenet that others should have the freedom to do as they please.

I apologize if this sounds harsh - I just feel no-one has the right to tell anyone else what to paint on their own canvas.
