What is a "beautiful" sex?

Take bets: in five years, the internet will abound with stars slideshow before/after their sex operation.Exit very straight and 90th busty nose photos, make way for vulva images redone.Operations exist and popularize.They are called "nymphoplasty", "labiaplasty" or "labioplasty" and consist in reducing small or large female sex against around 2,000 euros.Surgeons are formal: demand is growing.If there are no statistics in France, the number of nymphoplasties practiced in the United Kingdom has increased by 50 % in the past five years.Since 2005, messages devoted to the “small lips that exceed» complex swallowing up on sex forums."She is fat and swollen, I don't like her, balances orkiday about her vulva on aufeminin.com.When I see the others with a flat sex, well -cut thongs and a cute little cat, I really want them."On Doctissimo, Coralie, 15, spans himself:" I am super complexed by my vulva, I have the impression that it is not normal.In fact, my little lips protrude from large lips and clear when I stand in front of the ice we see a little little lips and I find it horrible.»One question:“ Am I normal? »Lili Puce, 16, cowardly on health-medicine.Net: “All my vulva exceeds, it is too large compared to the large lips, or the large lips may be too small?»Answer them women already spent on billiards, like Luce who describes the post-operation on AuFeminin.com: "It remains impressive the first days because it is super swollen and purple but you should not panic, you have to wait minimum ten days before knowing what it gives.You will have sons who are absorbable or that the surgeon will take away you.»She advises in passing:“ Bring photos of sexes you would like to have.»

Nymphoplasty is not the only aesthetic intervention concerning the female sex.In the intimate surgery radius, the surgeons-plasticians also offer a rejuvenation of the vulva with injection into the large lips of hyaluronic acid (with moisturizing and volumators) or fat taken from another part of the body. Objectif: repulper les “lèvres qui deviennent flasques, qui diminuent avec le temps», explique le Dr Bénadiba.Based in Paris, this surgeon-plastic artist, specializing in intimate surgery, has produced two to three labiaplasties per week for ten years now.His patients are mostly between 25 and 35 years old. “Mais je reçois aussi des mineures et des femmes de plus de 60 ans», précise-t-il. Aucune ne s’est pointée avec une photo de vulve “idéale» mais toutes ont débarqué avec d’énormes complexes.“Most of these women are physically embarrassed, for example to play sports, have sex or even in clothes.»

Fashion is in the dashing, young and dynamic vulva

Eléonore crossed the course a few months ago after being complexed for ten years.“I don't regret anything, the result is very satisfactory and natural.I feel more free in my movements.» De même pour Julie, 32 ans : “En sous-vêtements ou en maillot, je sentais une gêne.It was also painful sometimes during relations with my husband.» D’autres consultent par pur souci esthétique.Because fashion is in the dashing, young and dynamic vulva.If intimate surgery was born in the United States and Brazil in the late 90s, it was the fashion for integral hair removal that propelled it to the front of the stage: without hairs, the vulva is revealed,With its strengths and weaknesses.Porn was then responsible for conveying a flab, smooth and harmonious image of the female sex. “Je reçois de très jeunes filles qui se sont comparées avec d’autres ou avec des actrices de films X à la recherche de normalité», confirme le Dr Bénadiba.

However, on the side of porn, we deny in block any use of this type of operation.“Actresses never do that. Pas à ma connaissance en tout cas», assure l’actrice Anissa Kate.Céline Tran, former porn-star known as Katsuni, says she knows nothing about the subject but slips: "It may still be taboo.» La responsable du service presse et communication de Dorcel, Adeline Anfray, nous répond : “La chirurgie des sexes n’est pas pratiquée chez nous.There are no criteria of beauty of the sexes.Girls all have different sexes, with lips that exceed or not, clear or darker flesh ... This is not about that we are recruiting.» Le traitement réservé aux acteurs porno est bien différent."The size of the male sex is decisive, it is simply more visual.But its form not. Nous travaillons avec des hommes qui ont des sexes tordus ou dont l’érection dévie», explique Adeline Anfray.The fact remains that the imposing (and shaved) members of the X film actors spin complexes to men, who also have more and more use of cosmetic surgery operations.Dr. Azoulay, who has been practicing intimate surgery in Paris for five years, is assisting a real explosion in penis operations, for magnifications or elongations of the rod.

The first operation is to inject fat or hyaluronic acid into the penis.Problem: the effects generally fade after eight months.The second requires cutting the suspension ligaments located at the base of sex, which allows to gain between 10 mm and 2 cm at most, and only at rest. Si le grossissement de la verge va venir pallier un manque de frottement lors de la pénétration, l’allongement ne vise, lui, qu’à soulager celui qui présente un “syndrome du vestiaire»."Often, men explain that they find their penis small because in the locker room of the gym they see biggest than theirs.We will then treat the penis as a nose which has a small deformation. Psychologiquement fragilisé, on est prêt à tout», analyse Ronald Virag, chirurgien-urologue auteur du Sexe de l’homme (Albin Michel, 1997).On the Doctissimo site forum, a certain Blackstrobe, 24, describes his complex:

Immediately, a surfer advises him to find out about hyaluronic acid injections. Pourtant, pour Ronald Virag, seul un “syndrome du petit pénis aggravé», soit une verge inférieure à 7 cm de long en érection, justifie véritablement une intervention.For minipenis, more radical and more complex solutions exist: pennial reconstructions, tutors inside the penis, widening by means of foreign biomaterial grafts.For micropenis (less than 5.5 cm in erection), reconstructive surgery even offers neophallus, also used in the case of a change of sex."As for the cloakroom syndrome, the best way to cure it is to explain to patients that surgery will not delete anything, that it is not acquired.The penis is not a normal organ. Quand on l’opère, on prend le risque de modifier sa façon de bander», met en garde Ronald Virag. Pour le Dr Azoulay, ce type d’opération apporte au contraire “un bien-être psychologique» au patient :

It is also the psychological argument that is invoked to justify labiaplasty. Pourtant, les conséquences ne sont pas à prendre à la légère : “Il faut aussi faire très attention à ce type de chirurgie car c’est un organe hyper sensible, on peut induire des troubles de la sensibilité, de la perception», assure Ronald Virag qui, au passage, apporte un sérieux bémol aux injections d’acide hyaluronique dans la zone du point G destinées à provoquer davantage d’orgasmes en augmentant la sensibilité de la zone, mais dont les effets ne sont pas scientifiquement prouvés.Mélanie, 27, a nurse, nevertheless felt them well, the effects. Il y a sept mois, prenant exemple sur une amie, elle a procédé à une injection chez le Dr Azoulay : “Le changement est radical !», s’exclame-t-elle au téléphone.The effects are already fading, she decided to make a second next year.

The feminists vs the vagina designer

Not everyone is as enthusiastic. Créée en 2000 pour lutter contre “la médicalisation de la sexualité», l’organisation américaine New View Campaign livre une guerre sans pitié à ce que l’on appelle outre-Atlantique et outre-Manche le “designer vagina», le sexe féminin esthétiquement modifié. Pour Leonore Tiefer, docteur en psychiatrie à l’université de New York et membre active de New View Campaign, la labiaplastie cause des “cicatrices inutiles» et un “sentiment d’insécurité psychologique et sexuelle».

In a parodic video available on YouTube and produced by New View Campaign, a villainous surgeon explains to his young assistant how to create complexes in women and find expensive solutions to get rid of them.

The short film denounces the harmful influence of porn images, female magazines, celebrities and the false feminist speech advocating the freedom of women at work behind cosmetic surgery of the sexes. “La beauté a toujours été une préoccupation humaine mais elle est désormais devenue un marché très florissant», explique Sophie Cheval, auteur de Belle autrement ! – En finir avec la tyrannie de l’apparence (Armand Colin, 2013).She says it: said market only continues because it maintains complexes in men and women, notably through female and male magazines.Second problem pointed by the psychologist: by focusing our attention on the aesthetics of sex, we forget its primary function which is to provide pleasure.

Launched this year, the Labia Project site collects and exhibits photos of vulva of all kinds.Large, long, small, twisted, red, roses, mates, hairy, pierced ... Its Australian designer, Emma P., says he had the idea of this project by learning, in a documentary broadcast on TV, that the development of labiaplasty in Australia was partly due to the fact that porn magazines erase the sex of their models usingretouching software."I wanted to show the diversity of our vulva and thus fight against the ideals of beauty that we impose on people until they believe that something is wrong with them, she explains to us.My site is a place that is not dangerous, which is not erotic and where women can see other vulva.It's not porn, it is closer to a clinical study.» Emma ne se contente pas de poster des photos de vulves, elle prend le temps à chaque fois de discuter avec ses interlocutrices et poste souvent leurs témoignages sur son site.

A travers son projet, la jeune femme interroge les normes esthétiques imposées par la société et pose une troublante question : qu’est-ce qu’un “beau» sexe ?

"If the penis is soft, that it smells good, it also participates in making it a nice cock"

Sophie, 30 ans, se souvient qu’ado, la vision d’une de ses copines nue l’avait amenée à se demander si son propre sexe était “normal». Puis, alors qu’elle avait 20 ans, son copain lui avait dit que son clitoris était “bizarre»."It made me parano for years until I realized that the following guys did not complain about it.I understood that there were no standards.Now I don't care.» En matière d’esthétique du sexe, chacun a ses critères de beauté, souvent bien précis.Lisa, 30, explains prefer the sexes of women with a little hair.“But no metro ticket, that makes a porn actress.» Quant aux pénis, elle n’aime pas les “bites champignon avec un gland très gros» mais apprécie “les veines saillantes». “J’avais un plan cul qui s’épilait entièrement et c’était pas désagréable mais ça faisait bizarre», lâche-t-elle. Lorsqu’on l’interroge sur ce qu’est une belle vulve, Raphaël, 28 ans, opte pour les adjectifs “démonstrative, présente, externe».The penis, "must be well proportioned to the body of the guy, he assures.Verious erection dicks are bof, I like they are stiff and straight.A well -proportioned dick at rest, it can be magnificent.Finally, it is disappointing.» Il confie se sentir dégoûté par un sexe “de couleur violette» et préférer “les mats». “Si le pénis est doux, qu’il sent bon, ça participe aussi à en faire une belle bite», ajoute-t-il.

Thomas, 27 ans, kiffe les sexes féminins qui “laissent deviner leurs petites lèvres»."It's hot and cozy.But at the same time, they must not say too much to keep the territory side to explore.» A l’inverse, le pénis est pour lui “la partie du corps masculin la moins gracieuse».

Anaïs, 27, has a preference for circumcised sexes. Quant à Louise, 26 ans, si elle assure ne pas avoir de critères spécifiques concernant la beauté du sexe féminin (“il reflète notre personnalité»), elle en aligne pas mal lorsqu’il s’agit du pénis : “Il doit être droit, assez long et large (pas trop quand même, il faut pouvoir le mettre dans la bouche !) Et avoir une jolie couleur.»

The popularization of oral-general practices (blowjob, cunnilingus) has undoubtedly resulted in an increase in surgical operations.A century ago, these relationships were reserved for the closed house.Were not intended for reproduction, they had no reason to be within the married couple.In addition, putting your mouth in contact with a sex was not deemed hygienic."Today, almost every 35 years have oral-genitals. De là découle aussi la pratique du sexe épilé et de la chirurgie labiale», estime Philippe Brenot, psychiatre et sexologue.In contact with the face of the other, sex is exposed in all its imperfections and its fragile beauty.If the 90s have exploded plastic breast surgery, the 2000s that of the buttocks, the years 2010 should be those of the big boom of sex surgery.
