Why is porn being blamed for society's perceived preference of the “neat” labia where the labia minoria (or inner lips) are smaller than our labia majora (outer lips)? Indeed last year’s Muff March, protesting against the new labiaplasty craze, blamed adult cinema for all evil.
Of course, there is a lot more of this “neat” type of vagina in porn, but as Liselle Bailey said when talking about porn’s use of pubes in an earlier post on this site, porn follows trends, it does not make them. And why are we relying on porn for our sex education anyway?
Now, I understand that schools are unwilling to show couples having sex. But pupil's text books show illustrations of vaginas and guess what? The vagina is always the same. If schools handed out books like Joani Blank’s Femalia, featuring a range of beautifully shot fannies, some hairy, some piereced, all different colours and all uniquely lipped, then our attitudes would change. Girls would likely feel a lot happier about their own special place and boys would be more appreciative of the beauty that lies within all of our knicks.
Femalia is available from Turnaround for £10.99. I will also be bringing my prized copy to the next Fannying Around on February 27 2012 x
