The History of Vaginal Tightening Surgery

By the mid 1970s, public discussion of loose post childbirth vaginas had become common in a in popular culture. In 1974 and his best selling book, How to Get More Out of Sex, psychiatrist David Rubin urged mothers to get vaginal tightening surgery. By the late 1970s, he'd started circumcising his patients' clitorises in order to expose more of the organ and make it more easily stimulated by sexual intercourse. His surgery was focused on giving women more orgasms, but for a profoundly selfish reason,. so their husbands would feel like they were good at sex without needing to do foreplay or, god forbid, perform oral sex.
