Women's genital self-esteem affects sex, health

Women who feel negatively about female genitalia find it harder to have an orgasm and are less likely to get regular gynecological exams, says a new study from Indiana University.

They are also often more critical of their own genitals – and other women's – than men are, according to the study, published in the current issue of the International Journal of Sexual Health.

Men were generally more positive than women, a point that didn't surprise the author. “Men are more relaxed and open and accepting of women's genitals. Women are assuming the worst, and they're anxious, and men are just happy to be invited to the party.”

This is because “women are just a lot more critical of all of their body parts,” she said.

Reminds me of Robert De Niro quote: "According to a new survey, women say they feel more comfortable undressing in front of men than they do undressing in front of other women. They say that women are too judgmental, where, of course, men are just grateful."
