LOL
I guess ignorance is bliss. I never paid any attention to other women's genitalia and was a bit surprised to learn that there is so much variation. Generally if you are happy with you, other people accept your valuation of yourself. So start lovin' on your good self!

I'll echo that you sound perfectly normal to me. Not a thing wrong with you.

As for hair, some guys like hairy muffs, some guys don't. I shave mine, because it feels better to me. I enjoy the way it looks and feels more. But it's just a personal preference.

It all sounds fine- remember clits will get bigger when stimulated - Labia will puff out.
I have never seen a set I wasn't entranced by.
It is standard for girls to have hair in all the places you mentioned. Porn girls have full wax jobs- so dont judge by them.

Remember any guy is going to be more worried about what you think of his equipment and performance than the look of yours.

I mean for starters, my clitoris is small, really small; probably less than half an inch in width, and about the same in length. Is it abnormally small/underdeveloped? or something else?

Secondly, I have large inner labia, like to a serious hanging point. I know all women are different, and there really isn't a 'norm', but just in these terms, is it normal? I'm generally starting to feel really embarrassed around my boyfriend when he touches me down there; I don't really want to fully explain everything to him, we'd both get really uncomfortable, but I just don't know who to ask about this stuff.

Annd finally, pubic hair issue: on me, it grows at the front where everyone has it, right down to my anus, over my labia majora and everything. Does everyone have this? I once read a thing about shaving, and the writer said something along the lines of 'yes, some women even have hair there', which made me feel like a bit of a freak.

Everything is normal. I have been with a woman with a very tiny clitoris and a very tiny clitoral hood. She could orgasm like none other that I have known. Inner labia small or large or in between are all fine. Large labia wrap around the penis in a delightful manner, whereas small ones accent the boundary between a woman's vagina and the penis. In between combine those scenarios. Finally, hair. There is something exciting about a lot of pubic hair on a woman. It is usually soft if there is a lot and also heightens the sense of exploration and adventurousness.

Yes we're all different - very different and unfortunately there's not many avenues of seeing what others 'have' to compare ourselves. Not everyone's labia minor are neatly hidden away and the airbrushing in men's magazines has a lot to answer for as they will doctor most vaginas to make them conform to what is accepted as 'attractive' - but that's far from reality and most men obviously know this over time and experience and I doubt too many care.

I don't particularly like mine because the pigmentation is quite dark. It's not all 'pretty and pink' but I've never had any guy pass comment so if they're happy with it, so am I.

If it really bothers you, see a specialist. Operations can be done to reduce large labia, but that would be an extreme option and I would imagine is only done in extreme cases. It woiuld be a lot easier to just take the time to become comfortable with yourself.

Re pubic hair, again we're all different and I've found that with age comes more hair. Hair on the labia majora is not at all unusual, yes all the way back to the anus, and it is a pain if you want to get rid of it. I'm too much of a wimp to go the waxing route but find shaving does the job just fine, it just has to be done often.

I myself like dark pigmentation, even jet black. I'm not sure if the clitoris is always light in color, but the ones I've seen are (usually light pink to almost white) even on girls with dark labia, making for an interesting contrast and a dead give away when the girl is sexually excited enough to have her clitoris engorged and sticking out. Think of a beacon in a warm dark night.

Like clitorises, vaginas are all beautiful.
