Labia minora elongation has been documented as being practiced by 98.6% of the women in Tete province, Mozambique. Women engage in this procedure before the first menstruation. In this article we report on the findings from the male respondents from Tete province that participated in the qualitative component of the World Health Organization-supported multicountry Gender, Sexuality, and Vaginal Practices study. The men reported that the main motivation behind labia minora elongation is to enhance the sexual pleasure for both female and male partners. Researching what men know and perceive of labia minora elongation is crucial to understanding the contribution of this practice for sexual health. This knowledge is helpful to inform the development of new human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevention technologies and culturally appropriate information, education, and communication interventions.
据记载，莫桑比克太特省98.6%的女性都有小阴唇拉长的行为。女性在首次月经前就进行这种手术。在本文中，我们报告了参与世界卫生组织支持的多国性别、性取向和阴道行为研究定性部分的太特省男性受访者的调查结果。男性报告称，小阴唇拉长背后的主要动机是增强男女双方的性快感。研究男性对小阴唇拉长的了解和认知对于理解这种行为对性健康的作用至关重要。这些知识有助于为开发新的人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）/性传播感染（STI）预防技术以及符合文化背景的信息、教育和宣传干预措施提供参考。
