Gross, but normal? - Sexual Health - Women Message Board

Okay this may be a weird question and actually I don't know if it even goes on the sexual health board but that's what brought it up in the first place....so....
Is the skin around your anus supposed to be way darker than the rest?? It's nasty looking but I know I'm clean and all, is that normal?? I never really thought about it before but I don't want someone to notice that if we're in a fairly lighted room or something and be like, ew! (lol I mean someone as in a SO and we're doing, um, "stuff"

) I mean if it's normal then there's nothing I can do about it but I want to know if it is?

Yes it is normal. Everyone's different; some might be darker than others and some might not be darker at all but yes it's normal.

Yep, totally normal, as is the darker skin around your lips and inside your thighs where things rub together.

Also dark nipples, and the line down your lower abdomen when you get pregnant the first time.

Completely normal. Some people are the same colour. Some are lighter. Others- even though they might have pale skin might have a dark brown coloured anus.
No worries.
