Q: Embarrassed, Please Help Me

This is such an embarrassing thing to talk about. The thing is, i'm 20 and I don't know what a vagina is supposed to look like. I mean as far as health is concerned, I know you'll all tell me they all look different. I don't know the names of the parts... Down there. All I know is it looks disgusting to me. There are these draping pieces of skin on either side of the opening that are wrinkly and hang down an inch or so. Is this a normal thing? What are the names of the parts? I can't imagine a guy ever wanting to look at that mess.

Oh,honey!!I feel so badly that you feel that way about your body!Get yourself "the vagina monologues" by eve ensler.She had interviewed many women about their vaginas-some in their 80's!!!It is a great book and it will help you to see that your vagina is not an ugly thing.Those draping hanging things are your labia majora.If you get a mirror and sit on the floor,you'll be able to see your vagina and your other parts.Inside the labia majora are the labia monora and if you open these,you will see your vagina.Right above your vaginal opening is a little protrusion of skin-if you touch it,it should become erect.Like a penis.This is your clitoris-the only part of the body designed exclusively for pleasure ....And we have it!!!!Not men.They have a penis- a dual purpose organ-used to urinate and copulate.We lucky women are the ones to have this beautiful part.And so many do not know what it is capable of doing!!If you feel your vagina is ugly ,how can you possibly enjoy sex??I hope you will get one of the books recommended, educate yourself on your body and how it works!!!Best of luck to you!!Patty
