It’s truly incredible how completely the contemporary consumerist mode has infiltrated our proverbial and literal holes. It’s plainly obvious why those advocating for the antiseptic and anesthetized nature of our holes tend to be people trying to sell us something, and I wonder who exactly is having transcendent sex when they’re preoccupied with their holes smelling like something other than what they are. It’s truly a denial of the most primordial and natural and beautiful aspects of sex, an antithesis of that titillating story of Napoleon & Josephine, when he asked her in a letter please not to wash herself before he could get back to taste her essence. “I’ll be there in a week,” he pleaded.

These conversations remind me of a lot of generational conversations we have with our mothers and grandmothers. I’m afraid that in the same way our grandmothers told us to douche, and our mothers told us to wax, well tell our daughters to get surgery on their labias.

I sincerely hope that labiaplasties and anal bleaching is not what we pass down to the next generation of girls as a new “old wives tale” about what men want. In fact, I hope our daughters can be as free a man to not consider how to alter her body to be what they want. This topic makes me so angry. Amazing read though.
