Labia stretching today
Most of our knowledge about labia stretching comes from the studies that were carried out in the earlier days by various researchers. Many subjects were studied to really understand whether the stretched labia were a genetic difference or were these a modified aspect that could be practiced anywhere.
In the earlier times it was concluded that this elongation was not artificially done and that the Bush women seemed to have this difference right form the time they were born and that as they grew older, their labia would become bigger and more stretched. It was also noted that these elongations were different in different parts of Africa where at some places they were flat while at others they were thicker.
It is also known that the Bush women also used their elongated labia to expose them to the men publically when they indulged in erotic dances. Today, the practice is still very much alive and contrary to popular belief, not just the women in Africa but all over the world, practice the art of Labia elongation.
There are many accounts of African women who have shared their stories of how they were initiated into labia stretching and how the entire process was. Many of them state that a little while after they got their first period was usually when things were set into motion. Ideally, the mother, an aunt, an elderly women in the family or all of them sit the young girl down and then tell them about how to prepare to become a fully grown woman. The girls are explained how to go about stretching their labia outwards for their daily to make them longer. They are also given herbs to help them swell their labia so it is easy to pull them. They are told that the process will help them achieve better sexual satisfaction and keep their man happy.
The story of the women who adopt this practice by choice is different as compared to the ones who have to do it as it is a part of their culture. The African women may sometimes not even be asked if they want to do it, they may not be explained the complete reasons for doing it either. They are just sometimes told what to do and fully understand the reasons once they grew up and became sexually active. It has been found that elongated labia help a lot during foreplay and enrich the entire experience altogether.
It is not alien to us that women would at some point of time, just like men, try to understand their genitals better and this has led to them exploring them and modifying them in various ways for various purposes. Women have made incisions, elongated their labia (both majora and minora), and even tried to elongate their clitoris. Women have also looked at modifying the vagina in various ways; there have been instances of modifying the temperature, humidity, the diameter, the humidity and even the consistency through various means.
Most of the practices related to modification of the female genitalia have been related to either the woman or the man’s satisfaction or that of both. However that is not the only reason women all over the world make changes to their genitalia, there could be reasons surrounding hygiene, the woman’s well-being and even her fertility.
Elongation of the labia minora falls under the category of sexual pleasures and has been known to provide excellent experiences to both men and women. The practice is based on an ancient art and today has spread to almost all over the world and is considered a very erotic practice.
The reason the elongation of labia minora came into being comes from the need to make the process of love making more satisfying for both the partners. Earlier, an African woman who did not have well elongated labia minora would be called cold or even ‘men’ because they did not fit the then definition of a complete and desirable woman and it feels like the trend has caught on where today many women are learning how to elongate their labia minora in order to seek higher sexual gratification.
