Regarding "fixing" genitals: the closing speaker at AASECT was all about this (Dr Irwin Goldstein). I actually had to walk out. Several of us were incredibly offended. Have I been self conscious of how my labia minora and majora look? Abso-fucking-lutely! (I have larger majora). Have I pondered surgery? No. However, I know that so many women undergo these surgeries and to hear some asshole talk about how he can make my vulva "pretty" is insulting. So much hate. Genitals look different and I think that's a damn wonderful thing. I love the way genitals look. I have yet to see genitals (in person or picture) that I think look "gross" (and yeah, i'm gonna include ones I've seen with STIs - they just look different. Just how my vulva looks different from my ex girlfriends). Ack. Need to drink tea now for a min.
Ok - totally need to blog about the Something Positive cartoon! That's awesome! I have seen more and more of the Trojan brand vibrators on tv and that's pretty neat. However, they suck. They tried to talk themselves up to me and I played with them (on hand, was at a conference) and they're kind of crap. For the same price, you can get significantly better toys, however I get that they involves buying online or in a porn store which may not be as positive as bopping into Walgreens for a lot of people. However, I do love to see sex aids becoming more mainstream.
