Virgin Territory Sees Sex Sirens Stir Up More Controversy


Controversial Dangdut singer Dewi Persik caused a stir recently when she talked 
enthusiastically about her plan to undergo vaginoplasty - surgery to 
reconstruct the vagina. 

Dewi, who has been divorced twice, talked about how she wanted to be a 
born-again virgin to please her next husband, whoever that might be. 

In another TV show, actress Julia "Jupe" Perez also talked about the procedure, 
earning a reprimand for the Trans TV show from the Central Java Broadcasting 
Commission, which considered the topic to be racy and against public decency. 

The procedure, when done for vanity's sake, is taboo for people like Hanna 
Yunita, 27. 

"I think vaginoplasty is only understandable when you have a health problem," 
she says. "Other than that I don't see the use of having a new hymen. You're 
still not a virgin anyway, so it's deceit. One should be honest even if she 
broke her hymen because of an accident or she was raped. 

"If one undergoes the surgery because she's afraid her partner will leave her, 
then she should leave him. He is no good and doesn't deserve her." 

Fransiska Mochtar, a gynecologist who is also an expert in laser vagina 
rejuvenation, hopes more women think like Hanna rather than Dewi and Julia. 

"Vaginoplasty is not for everyone. A good doctor should be very selective in 
choosing patients to undergo this serious procedure," she says. 

Vaginoplasty can be done with either a scalpel or laser, with the first method 
being more common in Indonesia. 

This is partly because laser surgery is four to five times more expensive. But 
patients say laser surgery brings more satisfying results, is faster and the 
pain is more manageable. 

Fransiska says she has seen an increase in the number of Indonesian women going 
through the procedure over the past few years, though the rise has not been as 
high as in some other countries. 

She says this is likely because vaginoplasty is still a controversial subject 
in Indonesia, the world largest Muslim-majority nation where Eastern values 
constitute a big part of daily life. 

Although many Indonesian doctors are capable of performing the procedure, they 
are very selective in whom they will treat. 

"I will only perform the procedure on women with medical problems, hereditary 
abnormality, or those who really need it because they were rape victims," 
Fransiska says. 

She says some common medical problems that justify the procedure include muscle 
loss around the genitalia that would result in poor bladder control, affecting 
quality of life. 

Fransiska says there is still a big misconception in Indonesia about the 
purpose of vaginoplasty. Many women think the procedure was a quick fix for the 
fact that they wish they were still a virgin. 

"Most women who come to me and wish to have the surgery come for the wrong 
reasons. Physically they are fine; it's their mind that is the problem. 

"Their problem will never be solved with surgery. They will come back for more, 
and they will never be satisfied with the result because there was nothing 
wrong in the first place." 

Fransiska says women seeking the surgery first must undergo an anatomical test 
to determine whether they really need the procedure. 

If their problem is affecting their health and disrupting their sex life, they 
will qualified for an immediate treatment. 

But if there is nothing physically wrong she usually tells them to go away and 
think about it, and even recommends they see a psychiatrist. 

"This is a permanent procedure and it's irreversible. There should be a lot of 
consideration before one has the surgery," the doctor says. 

Fransiska says every woman should understand there are some serious risks 
involved. 

If the patient insists on having the surgery without the proper procedure or 
the right doctor she could end up with bigger health problems. 

"My suggestion is to consult with your gynecologist first to find out whether 
or not you really need it and ask your partner to come along with you, to 
ensure that this procedure is not an excuse to merely please the man's ego," 
she says. 

"A woman's worth is not only judged by her virginity. 

"Men should understand that and stop being so selfish, and women need to 
appreciate themselves more."
