Female Genital, Cutting, or Circumcision

In tandem with cultural taboos about menstruation, girls have traditionally posited ambivalent relationships between their bodies, sexuality, and menstrual cycles.{1} From the historic menstrual hut to the modern invention of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) to the pervasive social norm of eliciting female menstruation from others (Delaney et al., 1988) menstruation was categorized as distasteful, socially deviant, and in some cases pathological. similarly, the contemporary lady regularly revels in shameful approximately our bodies in the context of sex, citing body photo issues, sexual "disorder," and matters we experience approximately every day as key sexual issues (Kleinplatz, 2001; Nobre and Pinto-Gouveia, 2008; Plante, 2006; Tiefer, 2001)1. girls routinely engage in a range of normative body practices to manage their 'disgusting' bodies (Roberts and Goldenberg, 2007) {2}: hiding menstruation, shaving (Tiggemann and Lewis, 2004) {3}, sports make-up, weight control, hiding body parts odors and extensive care. while several studies have looked at women's feelings, sensations, and responses to menstruation—especially negativity toward menstruation—relatively little research has examined how these cultural interpretations of menstruation fueled women's sex lives.
