Just when you thought it could get any more FUCKING MENTAL....

[MercyMyJewels]

We are asked, do you ever get weirdly conscious of your labia?

bam flippant jabbering is good. I do lots of it.

And actually, yes, sometimes I do just sit playing with my boobs while watching TV. Well, not exactly "playing", more "comfort cupping". Actually, I've just realised I'm holding my right boob with my left hand right now. Apparently I do it ALL THE TIME according to DH. It's how he can tell I'm tired or stressed.

I was just coming on to say the "author" is male and I haven't even read the link but I see I was beaten to it

Nope. Because I've had them all my life. And, barring weird accidents, will have them for the rest of it.
They are not constructed from other parts of my body, or animal parts; they're all natural, and they're all me.
I'm no more aware of them than my ear-lobes.
And if you want to see living autogynaephilia that ^ looks like a textbook example.

Yes ugh, the writer is absolutely getting off on having women talk about their genitalia and they don't even see it.

Am I conscious of my labia? No, I have never given them a single thought. My uterus, now there's a bleeding house of pain and madness but obviously it's less female than my manicured nails.

Isnt that what autogynephilia sounds like? The women in the comments dont pick up on that even as they comment around it? None of them experienced what the writer experienced.

Em, thinking of you.

My labia is pretty much the only part of my sex organs I don't have regular awareness of. Unless thrush.

If we are talking boob injuries I burnt one of mine - I was welding underneath my van and a bit of weld got through my outerwear and to my underwiring. I still have a scar.

dear christ i couldnt get past the adjusting handbag thing.

its just......odd, dont these people get told by friends that no, thats not how women talk and think?

I misread that Indominus and wanted to know why you were wielding your boob under a van.

The only time I'm ever aware of my labia is if I'm trying on a pair of trousers that are too short in the waist so that an acre of material tries to cram itself between them.

Oh, and there was the multi day cycle thing where I had a blister on one of them...and it popped...

choc, sorry but I snorted at your boob in the bain-marie

The whole article smacks of AGP, and then in the comments you see why.

In between the wank bank descriptions women are giving the author about their bodies, someone talks about "reaching their cronage" which I suppose is code for menopause and the author describes how difficult they are finding aging. The piece is basically a begging letter for women to validate their aging lady body. And they are simply cooing over all the women coming to tell them about their bodies.

Grim.

They need to ask for their money back. they obviously got duff substandard laid, but I guess that will happen when they aren't real, bait like the way some people's fake tits go wrong.

As far as I am aware no woman is aware of feeling (or feeling aware of) the labia she was born with simply by walking from A to B (unless perhaps she's just given birth.) This person obviously got the Barratt Homes of Labia builders and they should go back and ask for the snagging list to be sorted out. Get a little trim.

labia not laid

So, is the AGP?

Because it's very creepy.

*is this

I'm honestly curious ... do you think that men are conscious of their dicks and balls in the same way that the author of the above is conscious of their labia? Men are weird creatures and do seem to adjust, fiddle and the like more than women. Of course, it could be that there are nerve endings there that they have that make these areas potentially more present to them and all that. I didn't think labia had many nerve endings? Might be wrong? Anyway, maybe old habits die hard?

I'm truly sorry Em. I hope that you are doing OK.

I'm still not quite sure how I managed it TBH - I think I must have got distracted at the point I was lifting it up (oven under counter, so you had to bend down to get anything out) and not extended my arms far enough, so I brought the tray up underneath them... it's just another in the long list of ridiculous small injuries I do myself. At least I'm not DP - he's locked himself in the bathroom 3 times (different bathrooms, different escape routes each time too - he once fashioned a screwdriver from shampoo bottle to escape!).

I'm never weirdly conscious of my labia, but I do love it. Sometimes I shift a bit when sitting and get the gorgeous warm tingly feeling of labia rubbing on clitoris. This doesn't happen often.

Em sending best wishes to you.

Yes it's AGP. A fetishising of and unhealthy interest in women's bodies and biology.

Like this.

I don't know about you, but I think the entire selling point of Tampax is that you can go about your every day life without feeling it.

Thanks, datun

It's really quite sinister. And I actually find it quite depressing it maybe that's just my mood. Like someone said before, you aren't colonising fucking Mars, you can't just plant a flag and call it yours, you can't take our woman hood.

And I never "bonded" with a woman over my period. FFS.

And thanks for the link but god I wish I hadn't watched it.

I've been feeling my labia, having gained a prolapse after the birth.

Sorry, i should have put a trigger warning about my cisprivilege, as only Real Women get prolapses.

The whole point about tampons was if you can feel it then it's not been pushed up far enough. You had to then take it out, discard and push in higher.

I preferred slim pads once they came onto the market. As do many millions of other women who are able to access sanitary protection.

Oh god that link, glad I didn't read the first one. How chucklingly hilarious that 'cis' women have to cope with tampons and have all the blood and stuff as well. Still - on with the day eh?
Totally missing the point that if anyone tried to insert a tampon when there was no period would feel discomfort.

Also, what Elendon said.
