Labiaplasty is Type II Female Circumcision and can be considered a form of Female genital mutilation if performed for cosmetic or cultural purposes and not for purely medical reasons. In almost all cases, even a small amount of labial reduction can lead to a drastic reduction or complete elimination of pleasurable sensations of the vulva. It is commonly performed in many African and Middle Eastern countries, particularly those influenced by fundamental Islamic beliefs. They do it because they think that a woman who enjoys sexual pleasures is a "wh?re". In their "world" it is OK for a male to enjoy sexual pleasures but not for a woman. Very f??ked up misogynistic belief set.

I hear you but I'm reluctant to comment on the practices of other cultures because I know there is a hardcore group of people who will immediately scream racism/racist.
