Many people these days feel self conscious about discolored skin in intimate areas. This has come about due to the prevalance of both pornography and also nudity in mainstream movies and television. People are now more easily able to compare themselves to others. 

People in the adult entertainment industry have been using intimate area skin lightening products for years. So the look that regular people are wanting to achieve isn't natural anyway. Most people have darkened skin in these areas, it's perfectly natural. The darkening occurs for a number of reasons including hormonal changes, aging and friction.
