France veil row sparks Trappes unrest

184. obviously, you did not read the article

I guess you just want to vent this morning. Of course, having one's clitoris cut off, ad vagina sewn shut are abominable practices, I never advocated for them. However, I do not think looking "over there" instead of in our own backyard is helpful for anyone.

In order to save you the effort you don't appear to have the energy to read, here is an excerpt.

"A few of the presenters acknowledged that no data exist on whether a labiaplasty will burst during childbirth--a major issue since many of the women having labiaplasties are younger, including patients under 18. But not a single speaker raised the issue of the potential impact of labiaplasties on female sensation or sexual stimulation.

Asked for a comment by email on this missing question, Leonore Tiefer, clinical associate professor of psychiatry at NYU and Albert Einstein College of Medicine and a sex therapist, wrote me: "In the opinion of most sexologists, the labia are part of the arousal structures of the genitals and their loss impairs sexual experience."

Matlock and his disciples (most of the presenters) insisted that for a labiaplasty to provide "a complete aesthetic look," some of the skin around the clitoris has to be excised. Yet, this can be the cruelest cut, leaving the woman to experience pain, not pleasure, when the clitoris swells and she is sexually aroused."
