Vaginal Rejuvenation Doctor "Knows" Kegels Don't Work

Dr. David Matlock, the guy who pioneered the vaginal rejuvenation "industry," was on The View this morning to discuss his trade—and hit up his demo. He mentioned that women tell him what they want done by telling him how old they want their vaginas to feel, after which he made a pretty gross joke about women wanting vaginas like 14-year-olds. Joy Behar was not amused, and confronted him on the fact that creating tighter vaginas is actually more beneficial for men than for women. He disagreed, but didn't really explain why. However, he did say that he "knows" that kegels do not work. Is it just me, or is this "doctor" totally fucking unethical, going on a national talk show and telling women that kegel exercises are basically pointless? Clip above.

You know how there's that stoopid trend in plastic surgery in which women try to "normalize" their labia by homogenizing them? (I went for my own consultations, once upon a time.) Well, we have Dr. David Matlock, aka Dr. Sex, to thank for that. He's the dude who's pioneered the whole thing, and also invented the G-Shot (that shot that's supposed to enlarge your g-spot to enhance sexual pleasure, but has no real research behind it). Anyway, in this profile on Dr. Matlock in the Times of London, we learn that he is now a multimillionaire, and he refers to his patients as "customers." At least he's honest. [Times]

Today's Broadsheet column on Salon (via the SF Chronicle) clues us into yet another disturbing vagina-modification procedure that seems to be making the rounds: "The G-Shot". Touted as a method to increase sexual pleasure, "The G-Shot" is a two-thousand-dollar procedure invented by L.A. plastic surgeon Dr. David Matlock — he of the wonderful Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation Institute of America! — in which collagen is injected into a woman's G-spot in order to increase its size, and, presumably, the patient's sexual response. Notwithstanding the fact that many sex experts — including the wonderful Betty Dodson — are skeptical about the very existence of such an area, and the fact that in order to administer the shot some doctors feel it necessary to "arouse" their patients, what does this all mean? Will the obsessive, aesthetic assault on our reproductive systems never end? Are cervixes next? Or, Lord help us, is our uterus ugly???
