Even though we know that the beginning of labia stretching came into being in Africa, there are strong accounts of the deep roots of this practice in the African culture.

When exploration of far-off lands came into being, many explorers visited Africa and came back with very different stories of how the people there lived and how different their cultures and daily practices were. Many of these explorers also came back with accounts of the African women being very differently built as compared to the European women and how their body parts were enhanced or changed to a greater degree.

Labia stretching is not just practiced in a few regions of Africa, it is quite common in Rwanda, Zimbabwe, Zambia, and South Africa. It is also spreading to other parts of the world where women are trying to learn this ancient art to add more to their intimate lives. Though it can medically not be proved whether elongated labia offer more sexual gratification, looking at the satisfaction levels of the cultures who have been practicing it, it definitely is catching on to the others.

Zambia is a country located in Southern Africa known for its rich culture and traditions. One of the unique cultural practices that have caught the attention of explorers is labia stretching. It is a practice that involves pulling and stretching the labia minora to increase their length and size.
