Labia majora.

Answer / moe_reese

If you are fortunate enough to find a woman with large
"labia minora", who will volunteer to let you manipulate
them, you can compare them directly with a man's scrotum (no
problem finding a volunteer for that).

Thoroughly wash your hands. Then, using the pads and sides
of your fingers (not your finger NAILS), knead, pull, and
stretch the skin of the male scrotum to its maximum size.
Gently release the skin, and observe it very closely (with a
magnifying glass if possible, but not in direct sunlight).
You will see the action of tiny muscles, in constant motion
under the surface of the skin. Miniature waves will work
their way across the surface to return the skin to its
original size and shape.

If you have access to a hair dryer, adjust it to the "cool"
(no heat) position and the shrinking process will occur more
quickly. If you adjust the hair dryer to the lowest "warm"
setting (making sure it is not close to the skin), the
process will reverse, and the scrotal skin will relax and
seem to melt and flow.

Now wash your hands again and follow the same procedures on
the largest "labia minora" of the female (probably the left
side, if she is right-handed, or the right side, if she is
left-handed). You will see that the skin is the same in both
males and females.

All women have a pair of empty scrota because their gonads
did not descend through their inguinal canals, as men's did.
Some are as large as a man's scrotum, while some are barely
visible. We simply choose to use the politically correct
euphemism of "labia minora". However, they are not
homologous to the labia majora.
