This message will only reiterate what the other reply's have stated, but on a more humorous note. Over the Christmas break, I saw "The Vagina Monologues." One of the monologues touches on this very issue.

The woman states, "one day I looked 'down there'. Most women have an ephipany and think that it's beautiful, but I thought it was the ugliest thing I had ever seen. I pitied anyone who had to go down there. For years she felt this way, until she met a very common place and ordinary man named Bob. Bob was a vagina connoisouer. He knew that by looking at a womans vagina, he was looking at the woman herself. So the woman takes Bob home with her and they turn off the lights and begin to have sex. Bob stops and wants to turn on the lights to 'look' at her. Of course the woman is embarrassed, here she is completely naked, WITH THE LIGHTS ON, and Bob is staring at HER! DOWN THERE! So Bob looks and looks and finally he says, 'Elegant, fabulous, creative, artistic.' The woman is stunned. You saw all that DOWN THERE? She is amazed and proceeds to have the best sex ever."

If you have the opportunity to see this play, I highly recommend it. It is a funny, yet sometimes painful and sad look at womens issues using the vagina as a methaphor.

Finally, on the vagina as a methaphor theme, if you are disgusted with yourself, you may be disgusted with your *self*. This monologues makes the point that we are all beautiful in our own way. The adjectives that describe me will not be the ones that describe you, but we are both wonderful in our own way. I too feel unattractive on the outside sometimes, usually based on the weight issue and the hormone imbalance.
