Are My Labia Too Big?

Sometimes when I get a question via email, before I start writing out my earnest, evidence-based answer I imagine how my grandfather might respond. My grandfather, who passed away more than ten years ago, was a loving and highly cantankerous man who lost half his family during the Holocaust and was in almost every way like the father in Art Spiegelman’s Maus. In other words he’s not the first person you’d go to for labial advice.

But if my grandfather were alive today, and if for some reason you decided to ask him about whether or not your labia are too big (lets say you were drunk…and hanging out with my grandfather) I think he’s slap his huge hand on his forehead and as it slowly slid down his face he would let out a loud sigh (he’d probably also cough a bit and then clear his throat before speaking). Then he’d say “you’re worried your labia are too big? You want to know what’s too big? My nose is too big. You’re labia are just fine.”

And that would be the sum of his advice. Depending on your personality, this would have made my grandfather either someone very good to talk to about your sexual worries or the last person in the world you want to talk to about them. In any case, it’s to everyone’s good fortune that my grandfather never became a sex educator but ended up fathering a sex therapist who then fathered a sex educator who can offer something a little bit more than comical distraction. I think.
