not does the G spot exist; the real question is, if someone calls themselves a 'sexologist', do they still exist as a person of any credibility?

Speaking of designer labias and other expectations . . . . exactly when did women in Playboy cease to have pubic hair? I just happened upon a new issue and the women seem to have balloon tops and 10 year old girl looking bottoms.

I have a pretty good idea when the boob jobs took effect, but when did all this shaving become the norm?

Are we all supposed to shave, have our labias cut, and foreign objects inserted under our breasts now? Oh, and have someone with a needle inject us in the vagina wall!

Gee, I wonder why women have such fucked up body image issues?

Are women's body's of so little importance that science has not even concluded if the "G" spot exists in all women or just some percentage of women? How can someone be considered a Sexoligist and actually dispute that the "G" spot exists, if not in every women, certainly in many women? I do think however, the "G" spot is overated as some magic button. I know I have one, and that stimulating it can feel too intense, amazing, painful, or dull, depending on my mood - just like any other type of sexual touching. It is a pity that everyone seems to forget that the brain is the largest sexual organ and that while we all have individual preferences for how we wanted to get off, there is no magic orgasm button.

See Cosmo, Glamour, Paris Hilton, etc.

Don't lay this on the men. We like curves. We also like vaginas, which is why trimming can be nice (so we can see them, esp. when we've bought a magazine in order to see them). As far as large breasts go, that's a matter of taste. Anyone who's ever watched "The Girls Next Door" can tell you what Hugh Hefner's tastes are and I'm quite sure the magazine reflects his standards.

BTW, anyone who thinks that a sexually mature vagina sans hair bears any resemblence to a pre-pubescent vagina has apparently had neither, because they are, in fact, vastly different.

Women stared trimming in Men's magazines around the early 90s. Way to be on top of things...

OK, for the last time:

- The vagina is not external.

- All you can see of the vagina from the outside is a hole.

- No matter how much pubic hair you remove, you will still not be able to see the vagina.

- You can see the vagina only if you insert an instrument called a speculum (used for gynecological exams), crank it open, and peer in with a flashlight. You will not, however, see this in Playboy. Not even in Penthouse or Hustler. No matter how much hair is shaved off.

That is all.

Hey, is this going to devolve into yet another 300-letter thread on the politics of muff maintenance?

Totally awesome.

Since the G Spot is "invisible", it will be fun to read how the Patriarchy is to blame for women that have the $1800 per quarter that go for this shot.

Because we know that since the Patriarchy is to blame for: thongs, bikinis, high heel shoes, fake breasts, piercings, tatts, designer vaginas, stripping, dieting, anorexia, bolemia, tanning, blow jobs, and anal sex,

then it has to be the case that these poor misguided women with too much money are doing this because of the patriarchy and not out of any expression of their own needs or desires.

It's hard to understand the payoff for a man to spend $1800 to inject a spot in his girlfriend that he cannot see, that he cannot feel, that he cannot show off to his fellow rapist oppressing wife beater pedophiles, and that can give him no pleasure.

But if it seems as though women may be doing this out of their own free will and an expression of their own desires and needs, it will jeopardize the house of cards you've built with the deck of Patriarchy cards.

So let's have at Tracy Clark-Flory, and the rest of you gals.

Let the Advanced Patriarchy Blaming begin!

I know I'm comingfrom a post- sex revolution perspective. But I find something very ... sad about the "effortless orgasm" (hich is truly a misnomer if one has to raise $2k to get one). But, shouldn't something as deliciusly wonderful as an orgasm require a little effort? Doesn't one's partner take a little pride in paying the appropriate attention to bring on a satisfying orgasm?

If women all had easy buttons, why would we date? And why would men bother trying to please them?

To work the solid analytic geometric with polar coordinate translation equations that is female sexuality.

when men care too much about women's sexual pleasure women are oppressed by men. Smash the patriarchy!!

he seems like a bit of a loser to me, buying magazines to look at vaginas. But real men like pussy, and they like it hairy, and they like it to be a little musty, a little sweaty, and to taste a little salty. Shaved and perfumed? No thanks. Not interested. I want a woman, not a mail-order vinyl doll with working parts.

Whatever.

the preference for all female sexuality to be focused on the clit, it's a little penis, outside the body just like a man, equality you know, has a transparent political dimension. Of course, so does the belief that penetration is the only genuine, fullfilling, etc. kind of sex. The point is that BOTH points of view are EQUALLY politically motivated, and anyone who tries to tell anyone anything other than figure out what YOU like should be seen for what they are, promoters of a political agenda.

And so is my husband, or I would never have married him. He quit buying porno mags more than a decade ago specifically because of the shaved privates. He says he was freaked out by the "little girl" look and to this day can't understand the appeal. And a quote from him: "Imagine if women expected us to wax our balls! That's just not right!"

Indeed ;)
