Chocolate Labia
I'm "Advanced" Sex Ed. in school. Advanced is just when you go more in depth to what you should feel and/or expect in sex. My teacher encouradged us to go home and take a mirror to look at our "parts". So I went home took a compact and looked down there, only to discover that my Labia Minora are light brown. I know that's not normal compared to the light pink pictures we saw. I hardly ever masterbate,I'm a virgin, and am about 99% sure I don't have an infection. They aren't sore, swollen, or even tender. I have a regular skin tone if you're wondering. Why are my labia brown?

Sometimes, the skin in the genital area is just naturally darker. Don't worry about it. You're fine.

Sounds normal, but if you are seriously thinking about having sex, you need to do more than look in a mirror. I hope your teacher has talked in depth about the emotional and physical risks involved in all sexual activity, and the ways to protect yourself from getting hurt and getting diseases. I have NEVER heard of an advanced sex ed class at your grade level. If you are confused about any more information or are thinking about having sex in the near future, please talk to a trusted family member, teacher, school counselor, or visit a planned parenthood for more information and protection.

Perfectly 100% normal, just a different skin color then the one you saw. Don't stress!

This is perfectly normal. They are brown because everyone is different and therefore will have different skin tones. Also remember that if you think something about you is abnormal that you can ask your teacher in private. In this case I'm positive they would say it's normal. :)

The answer to your question would be the same as to the questions, "Why do some people have red hair?", or "Why do some people's ears attach at the bottom?"
The answer is normal variation.
The only person who looks just like the illustration in an anatomy textbook is the model for the illustration.
So don't get upset if what you see doesn't match exactly with what's in the book; we're all different and that's what makes the world wonderful!
