"  Dear E. Jean:  I feel so inexperienced! My husband and I fell in love when we were 11 and married when we were 22; he died suddenly in February 2010, and I miss him terribly! I&amp;#039;m reluctant to start dating because, having been with the same man for so long, I&amp;#039;m unsure of the whole sex thing. Mostly I&amp;#039;m scared a man might find me ugly because I have enlarged labia (my inner labia protrude about a half inch). Please give me your thoughts on whether I ought to consider labiaplasty.\u2014Afraid I&amp;#039;ll Be Alone the Rest of My Life Miss Afraid, My Violet: Let me get this straight: You want to slice off your labia like a canned peach? Good Lord, woman! The sole purpose of those beauty spots (in my unscientific opinion) is to make you grind your teeth in ecstasy. And you want to give &amp;#039;em a trim? I&amp;#039;ll bet your husband (God rest his soul) ran home from work every 20 minutes just to adore you. I beg you, Miss Afraid, don&amp;#039;t do it! We women castigate our hair, our weight, and our thighs; can&amp;#039;t we leave your labia out of it? I don&amp;#039;t know what gave you the idea, but I suspect it&amp;#039;s the fact that we all live in a horrible new porn world. (See the last question.) And what the porn world calls beautiful, I believe in my soul to be ugly. When we women go along with these porny aesthetics, we lose erotic touch. You are gorgeous. You are heartbreaking. I won&amp;#039;t hear of you going to a surgeon! P.S. As for you being inexperienced? Any woman who, from the age of 11, enjoyed such a happy love knows more about relationships than any dating expert in the world. Trust yourself!
