I find labial reshaping to be a disturbing trend, as well. I don't know if this is accurate, but it seems to me that the whole thing went something like this: No one looks at their vaginas, and has no idea what other vaginas look like, and just assumes their vagina was normal. Then it evolved to people looking at and appreciating their vaginas. There were books showing beautiful labia looks of all shapes and sizes. Then people started to look at their vaginas, and wonder if theirs was normal or pretty. Once women were looking at their vaginas, comparisons and criticisms quickly followed. Bizarre.
Anyway, one minor point. I don't know why people have this idea that porn promotes tiny labias. Due to the nature of my former job, I've seen more porn than most people will see their entire lives, and let me tell you, there is NO "standard" look for labias in porn. None. They range just like in normal life. There are some fetish titles that pick girls with specific looks (big labia lips, for example), but that's true of any body part (big boob porn, tiny tit porn, long legs, round butt, super skinny, curvy girls, etc.). While there does seem to be some weird societal leaning towards "petite" labia these days, don't put that on porn, because it's misplaced.

Well, that's my $0.02, anyway. :-)
