Tee hee, I read your thread title and thought you were going to be posting about THIS (NOT SAFE FOR WORK!!!!!) (vagioplasty). Honestly, I look at the before and afters of all these ladies' hoo hoos and I know I'm not a connoisseur or anything, but I think they all look okay!

"Normal" means different things to different people, though. Many women have flat gluteal muscles or don't have shapely buttocks...It's really no more odd than breast implants if you think about it. Everyone has a different idea of what "ideal" is.

For example, anal bleaching became all the rage a few years ago. The airbrushed pages of Playboy, Hustler and so on were blamed for that.

It's a crazy world we live in!!!

How does one even know that one might need anal bleaching? That's not an easy area of the body to peruse.

You're not the only one. I didn't even know that could be DONE! Sounds...awkward. (the anal bleaching, I mean)

Hope it's okay I replied in here, even though I'm not maintaining yet

Haha I am not shocked actually. It is a crazy world out their. The thing that I found and was quite astonished that almost 80% of the Brazilian 20 year old women have a plastic surgery to get the infamous Brazilian behind that most women are jealous of.

Wowza! Nope, butt implants don't surprise me; I've known several people who have gotten them.

I once wanted my butt to be bigger, but (thankfully) I was able to achieve that through stairs, lunges, squats, and power cleans. If my butt still remained flat, I don't think I would go as far as to get butt implants, but that's just me... I pride myself on being all natural and personally think plastic surgery is unnecessary unless you have large amounts of loose skin, a completely flat chest, a deformity of sorts, or gender dysphoria Of course, deformities are also a matter of opinion AND who am I to judge those who get plastic surgery when I've never been in their position?

preetyladyserenity, I find it quite amusing that 80% of those ladies get plastic surgery on their rear ends to look like that! Dang!

Wonder if you have to sit down carefully?

I once saw an article on calf (the kind in your leg) implants. After my frustrating attempts this winter to by a pair of leather boots that didn't make me look like Oliveoyle, I'm laughing at them less.

And I also must lead a very sheltered life!

I guess you didn't read "Our Bodies, Ourselves"...HAND MIRRORS, Ladies!!!

I don't think anyone "needs" anal bleaching, really, by the way, but I am sure y'all know that. It would be pretty strange to be anti-artificial sweeteners but pro-anal bleaching, right?

Okay, I'll ask. What in the world is anal bleaching? It sounds painful, and like the punchline of a frat boy joke....
