Cory Silverberg: What's Missing in the Search for Female Viagra
The lie in the promise of a female Viagra, that a pill can make someone want sex, is the same lie for male Viagra. It doesn't make sex better or make men want to have sex more.

Good grief sisters. Learn to love yourself. Please.
OMG this is so stupid. People really do this?
Why do women want surgery to make their vagina look better?
As a long term free lance vagina inspector, I contend they are all beautiful in their own way.
Thank you KIVPossum, It turns out that most men think the same way you do. In a recent study of some 600 college aged men and women most of the women thought that their genitals were ugly. Almost all of the men thought that women's genitals were perfect the way they are; smell, taste, feel and look. It has a lot to do with acceptance and women aren't allowed to explore their genitals enough when they are young to gain that acceptance of them. Combine that with constant comparisons in the media and you have a recipe for...well, a very sad situation in my mind.
My thoughts exactly! :)
As a long time fan of the vagina, I'm pretty sure I've never seen one that needed any enhancement. That kind of surgery is akin to giving the Mona Lisa a nose job.
This is insanity! Any man who would want his woman with LESS labia obviously doesn't know a whole lot about sex. Extra tissue=extra sensation! In the before & after labiaplasty photos, the "afters" always make me want to cry!
awesome article!!! 3 for 3 huffpo...bats with oral sex, where to shop for healthy meat products and now the topper...
I LOVED this article. i support this surgery wholeheartedly. The face is wrong but this is good.
For cryin' out loud, whatever happened to the good old days, when a guy was just grateful to get there??!!
Now we're all supposed to get them landscaped and sculpted.?!
How completely exhausting.
Yep new city ordinance. Inspector swings by from 2-4pm next Wednesday. They also need a photo for the ID card to go in the database to ensure vaginal compliance.
I concur. I came of age in the 60's when it was all in it's natural state. It's that way for a reason, people!
"It's that way for a reason, people!"
Does that include male foreskin? Or, are only women beautiful, and supposed to be au naturale?
Actually, they are talking about vulvas, and all vulvas are fine the way they are. (Well, at least the ones I've seen.) This is just more misogyny.
So then, are male foreskins fine the way they are? If, for whatever reason based on your twisted myopic logic, adult women choosing to have surgery on their own vulvas or labias, is by whatever stretch, mysogonistic and for some irrational reason the fault of men, what would you consider the act of American mothers consenting to the un-necessary, and not medically indicated forcible amputation of 1 Million neo-natal males on an annual basis, one ever 30 seconds, everyday?
Get lost.
