Reason: due to your age, do not post your age on this board....also due to your age, please limit your sexual health questions and responses to the Teen Sexual Health board... thanks
Masturbating isnt effectng this,your growing is what is effecting it. All women have different types of lips when it comes to that area. Some are long and stretched looking while others have barely any lips at all. You shouldnt let it bother you because it is natural. It could change some more as you grow then again this change now could be it.

Yeah but see you started masturbating at a younger age so of course as you age there will be changes. They will occur whether you masturbated or not.
Do a search for female anatomy pictures and you will see that we all come in a variety of sizes when it comes to the vaginal lips.

It's normal and has nothing to do with masturbating.
But i remember when i was younger i would always rub it in that area and i think i stretched the skin there because i always rubbed it in that particular area the other side isn't stretched because i didn't rub it there.
i have the same problem. i didn't know if it was normal until now either! i wont let my boyfriend see me naked because my lips are stretched... is that a turn off for guys? guys, did you know lips come in different shapes and sizes?
Vaginas come in all different shapes and sizes. Some women have vaginal lips which protrude while others have little or non of their vaginal lips prominent. It has nothing to do with whether you masturbated or not. It's no different than women having different shapes and sizes of breasts.
The same applies to men. Mens' penises come in various lengths and thicknesses. Some are of different shades. Some bend and some don't. Again, whether the man masturbates or doesn't has no effect on the shape, size or curve of his penis.

So your saying that if i hadn't masturbated i would still have the stretched skin there? i'm scared to masturbat because i don't want it to stretch anymore and it seems like it's growing everytime i masturbat because when i don't masturbat, i see that it shrinks a bit. UH i give up!!

Does anyone else think that this is just a joke? C'mon, your skin cannot visibly stretch from rubbing it and then go back to normal after not rubbing it!

Maybe she is referring to the area getting bigger when stimulated. The whole area does swell when aroused. It is very common for some women to have a large or uneven labia. If you visit the plastic surgery board you will see all kinds of posts discussing surgery to reduce or even out the size. Not that I am saying that is what needs to be done, just that it can bother some women so much that they decide to do something about it.

please don't think this is a joke i feel like i can't explain my situation properly that's all
I can understand them swelling when aroused, yes, I definately agree with that. I'm sorry if this isn't a joke, it just seems strange. I suppose being a teen and experiencing things for the first time is sometimes scary. I wouldn't worry about it, I think the poster before me is right about the swelling. That has to be what it is. I don't think that they can become abnormally "stretched" out from masturbating, though. You haven't noticed it when you stop doing it b/c you are not aroused at that moment. Don't worry about it. I'm sure you are fine. (I know it's easier to say not to worry than it is to do.) Have you ever been to a gyno? Maybe you could tell your mom that you would like to go, and have things checked out. They are a bit nervewracking, those gyno appts, but if you are seriously concerned, then you should see someone about it. You don't have to tell your mom WHY you want to go, or HOW you noticed the difference in appearance, even. You could tell her that you noticed it in the shower and want to be seen. I know I couldn't have had that conversation with my mom, but looking back, I probably could have and she would have been understanding. Good Luck!
