excuse me miss, but you seem to have misplaced something..

there have been times in my life where i have fiended…i repeat, FIENDED…for some vaginal intercourse.  however, even during my creepiest moment i never stooped so low as to make one out of paper:

apparently, crafting a cooty cat out of construction paper is not enough for some people. for those of you intrigued by other va-jayjay machinations, i submit to you this fine piece of information:

An Italian doctor has reconstructed vaginas for two women born with a rare congenital deformation, using their own cells to build vaginal tissue in the lab for the first time.

Professor Cinzia Marchese of University Sapienza in Rome says a 28-year-old woman who underwent the first such operation a year ago now has a healthy vagina.

“She has got married and is living a normal life,” says Marchese, a professor of clinical pathology and biotechnology whose study is published in the journal Human Reproduction.

The second operation was on a 17-year-old girl. The researchers took cells by biopsy from where her vagina should be and say the cells should grow in the lab to provide mucosal tissue, from which to ‘build’ a new vagina.

Mucosal tissue is found inside the vagina, the mouth and elsewhere in the body and has important attributes distinct from ordinary skin.

The two women have a condition called Mayer-von Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome, or MRKHS for short, which affects an estimated one in 4000 to 5000 female infants.

Girls with the syndrome are born with no vagina. They often have a normal uterus, ovaries and external secondary sexual organs such as breasts, but cannot have sexual intercourse or give birth.

“Usually the syndrome is diagnosed when they are young and they try to have sexual intercourse for the first time and it hurts,” says Marchese.

Women with MRKHS are often embarrassed to talk about it with their parents when they are young and often “live the rest of their lives with no normal sexual life, even though they are normal women with normal feelings”, she says.
