An Unexpected Consequence of Porn?

Sometimes I click on a link and realize how out of touch I am. Case in point:

In the Self article, "Surgery where?", the author, Jennifer Wolff, speculates on an unexpected result of the availability of porn: "Hoping to pump up their sex life, women are having cosmetic surgery on their most private parts." With the ability to now compare their own "nether lips"* with those on view on the web, some women look to plastic surgery to improve their intimate appearance.

The article also discusses conditions where surgery is warranted because some women are in constant discomfort or experience pain during intercourse.

With increasing frequency, I find myself saying to myself, "Who knew?"

* I thought the term came from "Lady Chatterly's Lover", but it apparently goes way, way back to Chaucer.
