One of my lips is longer, darker, and has no feeling.
one of my vaginal inner lips is longer than the other, but its also a darker color, like a brownish color. it has no feeling on the end of it when i pinch or tug at it. what is this? is this abnormal?

Vaginas are like fingerprints, they're all pretty unique. It's common for one lip to be longer than the other, and also a slightly different colour.

Is your shorter lip also without feeling, or is this only happening in the longer lip? Chances are everything is fine - this area is not packed with nerve endings like the clitoris, fingertips, etc.

However, only a doctor can check you out and give you the all clear. The next time you see your gyno, ask him/her about this.
