  • Dominika C Porn
    Dominika c porn Continue Mostly from the I've watched, there seems to be a whole three categories of vulva:1. Incision type - external labia form a single slit or furrow without the clitorial hood visible or internal labia protruding. Looks tiny and tidy. Very small microscopic clitoris, very tiny inner labia. Open type - the outer labia naturally parted revealing the inner labia of the chick between them. May or may not have a prominent hood or a larger clitoris. The most common.3. Huge - the large, flappy labia that dangle behind the main lips is usually tightly folded and extruding down/outward noticeably from her mound. Can have a huge prominent hood or an unusually large clitoris. What is the most exciting/sexy arousal for you? Guys, what type of do you prefer/find the most stimulating? The process of stretching the labia involves pulling or weighing down the inner labia, or labia minora, in order to lengthen them. It began as a cultural tradition in parts of ancient Africa, Asia and the South Sea, but has since been adopted by some Western cultures, albeit on a much smaller scale. This is primarily done for appearance and sexual enhancement. Labia stretching is usually approached with the aim of permanently increasing the length of the labia minora. The stretching process should be done on a regular basis for a long period of time to achieve long-term results. Regular stretching also constantly increases the size of the labia. Lips can only spread outside the labia major or stretch down as far as a woman's knees.
