I (22F) have been self conscious over my anatomy from a very young age. I feel so uncomfortable explaining it, but basically my clit is just kinda large. Or the clitoral hood is the correct term I think. It’s Maybe around an inch long. It kinda looks like a teeny tiny penis, I recognize how ridiculous this is, and I’m shocked I still have anxiety over this at my age and after like nine diff sex partners not having anything negative to say, and often reassuring me that it doesn’t matter.

I’ve been with women and men and everyone’s gentials look different and I’ve never once cared, I just see sexy people and enjoy them. and i think if someone did say something negative to me it would be more embarrassing for them honestly. I guess my concern is being masculinized? I have always been a bit tall, and I also struggled a lot with my body. I think sometimes women are expected to be delicate or small often felt like growing up I didn’t fit in those roles. I always felt too loud or too chubby or not put together enough, and then I’d see my god damn ugly vagina. Maybe I’m overthinking it but I worry that it just doesn’t make me look….ladylike, as ridiculous as that is, and I know that’s very much rooted in weird sexist ideas that are irrelevant to my pleasure or gender.

I also would periodically research this in an anxiety fueled craze to make sure something wasn’t wrong with me. I would see people say it doesn’t matter, people who promote getting surgery, or people who avidly warn people against surgery, people who say it’s because of a hormonal imbalance, etc.

I guess I’m posting because I need some reassurance from women. Does anyone really care? Is there something wrong with me biologically?? Does anyone else struggle with this and do you have any advice on how to not let insecurity ruin my sexual interactions??
