People Worry Their Genitals Aren’t Normal, Here’s How To Stop It

According to a new study, over a third of people worry their genitals aren't normal.  How upsetting!  It deals with lack of self-confidence, sexual education, and much more.  Read on to figure out more about the shocking statistics, and how to stop this unfortunate way of looking at your most private self.

Over a third of British adults worry their genitals aren't normal, says a new study.

Sadly, 73% of those who worry about their genitals were female, while 27% were male.

Between the ages of 18 and 30, 43% said their "genitals look different" than those they see online and in the media. How depressing!

"I don't know what it's meant to smell like," 18% said about their own genitals. "I always feel as if my smell isn't normal." It's unfortunate that there's such an insecurity about women's vaginas -- especially when they're likely healthy smells.

This insecurity about genitals frustratingly distracts the women during sex, making them unable to experience orgasm.

Men, however, had no substantial evidence as to why they're insecure about their genitals. There are theories, though, like the presence of porn.

"It really scares me that adults still compare themselves to the actors they see in porn films as these are definitely not ideal," Michael Ross, spokesperson for MedExpress said.

Ross continued on about his opinion on his research: "These results really shocked us as one would like to assume that genital worries and confidence issues end after the period of adolescence."

One way to stop this insecurity about genitals is to educate oneself. Look online for what healthy, normal genitals look like instead of those found in Hollywood or magazines.

Another way to combat this worry is to remember that photoshop and professional editing is a thing. Society loves to fool you into thinking there's a superior person to be -- even when there's clearly not.

Remember how many sexual partners have enjoyed your genitals, no matter how "weird" you believe it is.

And, on the other side, remember how many genitals you've been into when your partner thought their junk was weird!

Turn yourself on! Don't be ashamed of what you look like! In fact, be sure to be so body positive that you can't think of a reason to feel weird about your private parts ever again.

Porn is porn and real life is real life. There is a huge, scary difference between porn and real life that some people need to realize before unfairly judging themselves.

Enjoy yourself when you're involved in intercourse. Don't focus on what you look like, focus on how great you feel -- how amazing your partner is making you feel despite your insecurities.
