• What role, if any does media play in shaping a woman's self-image regarding the appearance of her genitals? Be sure to discuss the relatively new cultural phenomenon of shaving or waxing one's pubic region and/or genital piercings.
• Explain why penis size has historically been so important and how it has affected men's masculinity and/or self-image. Describe penile augmentation procedures.
