1. Where did I say it was right for everyone or even encourage ANYone to get one? Yet here you are, being hypocritical by chastising me for something I had every right to do simply because I didn't have a bad experience with it.
2. I'm a woman. Please do not tell me that I am being misogynistic. That's as bad as women who don't allow men to hold doors open because it devalues a woman's ability to open her own door. Sometimes people can choose to do things for someone else for reasons that have NOTHING to do with with their "value" as a person.

No, it's not made up. I requested one when I gave birth vaginally, and I would request it again. It did hurt for the first month or two after we resumed sex but it wasn't so painful that it prevented my enjoyment.

My doctor told me it's also called a crown stitch and described it to me before doing it. Instead of just stitching the "right" portion of the vaginal entry at the perineum, the crown stitch also stitches a little of the vaginal wall and brings it up to that "ring." (I don't know the name of the sphincter there.) Maybe I got lucky, but I would not hesitate to do the same thing if I were having a baby again.
