The weird world of the Vagina Institute

Sunday - 9 September 2007

Read this excellent article about the bizarre website, the Vagina Institute.  Samara Ginsberg, whose blog is also well worth a look, delved into the site's clear belief that there is a vaginal ideal to which women should aspire. Having a look at the site (obviously, not safe for work), I get the distinct impression that it's the work of a man. It has a fairly smart design, but contains many obvious spelling and grammar mistakes, as well as some fairly unnecessary close-up photos. Though it claims that it wants to help women to understand more about their bodies, it became obvious almost immediately that the real aim of the site is to trick women into insecurity and even cosmetic surgery.

    I've seen the site and it's horrible
    It's only purpose is to make women unsecure about their genitals and to make them believe there is a standard and if you don't mesure to that standard they impose then you're genitals are wortless

    I think the site has a lot to offer, as it explores all parts of sexuality and not just what some people want to know.
