Labiaplasty is on the rise. Boys and men continue to worry that their penis is too small. Every other week there seems to be a new treatment promising to make your penis longer and harder or your vagina tighter, smoother, and more sparkly.

You see blurred out images online or dainty flowers, or bananas and crude doodles to illustrate their place. Students should see longer labia, different skin tones, penises that are short and fat, penises that are long and lean. Seeing these images before we start having sex or having the power to make changes to our bodies through surgery or other means is incredibly important. How we view our bodies informs how we view ourselves. It affects our sexual relationships, our decisions, our mental state.
