Surgery
Through an online questionnaire, developed by the scientific committee of the Italian Federation of Scientific Sexology and disseminated anonymously on the Fiss website and social networks from April to July 2022, the organizers wanted to highlight a cross-section of society on sexual issues.
What are the opinions of Italians on some of the most popular issues, such as surgery of the private parts? The questions were answered by 816 people. Most were northern residents and female. More than half have a degree. More than 90% say they never thought about it, but almost everyone has heard of it. Labioplasty, circumcision, hymenoplasty and vaginal rejuvenation are among the best known and desired interventions. Less well known are G-spot augmentation, scrotal removal and penis lift.
“This type of surgery is often requested by people to feel in harmony with their body and live their sexuality serenely”, comments Caruso. However, over 80% of the sample declares that they have never undergone an operation and as many as 74% of the participants claim that they have never felt the need. Why is there still so much reluctance about cosmetic surgery of the private parts? Among the reasons, 96% declared fear of disapproval from friends and family.
Those who reported having had surgery were driven by a dissatisfaction with their appearance and therefore eager to improve confidence and feel more attractive, increasing self-esteem and mood. Following the intervention, however, very few have seen a real benefit in their social life.
