Since when did the prepubescent, no-hair look become a normal preference for guys??? Sometime in the past decade I imagine. It takes SO MUCH DAMN MAINTENANCE. Keeping it waxed costs a fortune, and men don’t always return the favour. Now of course, bushes need to be kept neat, I hate the feeling down there otherwise. But did you know that once upon a time, pre-WWI, North American ladies didn’t even shave their pits? It was when the American boys came back from France after hanging around the local prostitutes that they started voicing a preference. Now, I can’t standing have pit hair myself but I’m starting to wonder what’s next, am I going to have to shave off my eyebrows to stay sexually attractive? —Normal Adult Female

Overreaction much?
It probably is a generational thing. I grew up with 70’s porn – billowy breastesses that obeyed the laws of gravity and a nice thick dark merkin. I don’t much cotton to plasticine chesticles and the landing strip. De gustibus non est disputandum. (Giggity Giggity – Hugo)
yeah lets just go by what was acceptable in the 30’s and 40’s from now on then LOL.
I’m not gonna whine if a girl hasn’t been keeping it shaved but I will say that finding a completely smooth nether region on a girl is like winning a Free Ticket on a scratch ticket and then winning 20 bucks off the free one in terms of how excited I’ll be.
I was gonna post something related to this in the Fucked n’ Chucked Bitch but it makes more sense here: A shaved bald cock/balls and pussy make for a very sensual experience, not just the appearance but also to the touch. Throw a bit of lube ‘down there’ there where the pubic bones meet and its a little extra. Overall, the physical reaction is heightened to enough of a degree to make it all worthwhile. Plus the act of shaving/waxing works on a person mentally as they visualize who they are doing this for what what the result will be (on their partner) Some people are a little pent up sexually and assume its a pedo thing, but it’s not. Maintenance has to be kept up, but varies from body to body.
Hope this helps.
Arrgggh. Ivan, damm that was hard to translate :), first I thought you said not to argue with the dead – chortle. Took awhile to get it right. And as far as taste goes, I prefer natural to augmented anyday.
Last time I checked it was 2010. Times change. Who wants a mouth full of hair. gross
lol. I went to yuk yuks one night and the female comedian had a whole skit on her boyfriend being a pedophile cause he asked her to shave it all off…lol. Generations change, we are now the very high maintenance generation. WTF?
it’s a generational thing. as long as you keep your naughty bits clean it’s all good
Some guys like hair, some don’t mind, and some don’t like it at all just as some guys don’t like zero hair. It’s just a preference and do whatever you want OP!
I’m not terribly picky when it comes to body hair. Armpit hair I don’t mind as long as it’s not in massive tufts. As for bush, as long as it’s neat and trimmed I don’t really care. But that’s just my opinion.
It’s not that hard to take care of, and if they guy isnt reciprocating with his own bodily maintenance, time to dump him for someone who is more considerate… and clean
What about those guys that we see with what looks like a dead animal crawling out of their shirts….you know, the chest, shoulder, and back hair. YUCK! Would it kill some guys to trim or shave.
Most people don’t wax down there they shave… it’s free and doesn’t hurt. A couple minutes shaving in the shower isn’t really a lot of maintenance especially if you do it regularly.
I don’t shave for sexual reasons, it just makes me feel cleaner.
Pubic hair has several purposes but I think the relevant ones here (to women specifically) are catching sexual pheromones to signify ovulation and catching dirt and infections and other bad stuff before it gets in the vagina and festers. This was all great when we were living in caves and needed to reproduce just to keep the species going and soap or underwear didn’t exist. But we’ve evolved to the point where we are overpopulated, can control ovulation, reproduction, and our own hygiene.
We’ve also come to the point where oral sex is the norm (humans and fruit bats are the only living things that engage in oral to my knowledge lol). Anyway, the hygienic standard has been raised with our technological progress and thus our sensitivity to bad smells (along with some diseases unfortunately) has also been raised. Think of the hygienic standard in the 1800’s, they didn’t smell shit but you went back in a time machine you sure could.
Then there’s the people crying pedophile. Yes back in the day when we were dumb animals, pubic hair (along withthe smell of stanky pheromones and vaginal secretions caught in pubic hair) was a handy visual signifier that a female child was now an adult, able to reproduce, and ready for banging. But seriously, we’re smart enough now to be able to tell the difference when cloths are on and hopefully smart enough to be able to tell the difference between a naked child and a naked woman with a shaved pussy. “Whoops! You’re ten? Man, I thought you just shaved your pussy, my bad.” As accidental pedophilia is non-existent I’d wager a guess that we are indeed smarter than that.
I’m just rambling at this point. Basically, pubic hair is vestigial. Go all natural if you want but personally I don’t want dead skin cells, sweat, vaginal secretions, menstrual blood, and urine getting caught in hair down there throughout the day and stinking up my crotch.
As for male pubic hair in sexual partners, I don’t have a preference as long as it’s kept clean.
And just for the record I know the difference between pheromones and smells, and I’m aware that some laws can make an 18 year old a pedophile for sleeping with a 17 year old… I just thought that the comment was long enough without getting overly specific and going off on yet another tangent.
hey normal, come and see me. i love the hairy look and feel there. too many people get turned off by the hair, not me. the more the mairier. seriously o.p., if guys don’t want to see your pubes, then they shouldn’t want to venture down that little hiway. me, on the other hand, enjoy the softness of them, and don’t mind the flossing action either. turned off yet people, come and take me o.p., i’m all yours. mail me at gary_more@ hotmail.com. and we’ll set something up.
Who waxes? Are you posting from LA, op? Or are you a porn star of some kind? Shave shave shave I say. It’s good enough, cheap, and you don’t have to worry about pubes laying around/ sticking out of your bathing suit/ getting dirty etc.
Meanwhile, if a guy is gross, I tell him that I’m not spending 10 mins after sex pulling out a forest…. trim that shit up or at least pull out the loose ones in the shower. Unless he wants to get cut out of all ball action because will be leaving his boxers on (and trust me, no guy wants that).
That being said, if you don’t want to bother, find a guy that doesn’t bother either. Then you match. Or, if you decide FOR YOURSELF to spend a lot of time keeping it waxed, you can probably be more demanding of your partner’s hygiene. Power of the pussy hon.
ron jeremy was a porn star-separated at birth?
http://weblog.timoregan.com/uploaded_image…
Nice Goin Fat was Right? Ron Jeremy did pull off 9-11? Oh man, my whole world is crumbling about me. >: 0
i was thinking of hairy people and with thewons comment, i googled ron jeremy and lo and behold look what popped up…teehee
Lots and lots and lots of people wax. My girlfriends who work at spas say their biggest clientele is for Brazilians.
Waxing freaks me out… I would be so nervous and self concious, I can’t imagine. I have a lovely electric razor which works in the shower, yay for waterproof technology. Even quicker and easier.
I know women who do shave their eyebrows and then paint them back on, OP. So yeah, that is what’s next for ya.
Not that I like that look – just saying, that’s where we’re headed…
that is such an odd look nevermind
http://www.just-whatever.com/wp-content/up…
I keep it neat and get a couple waxes a year to keep the landing strip in check and maintain by shaving …. (like anyone actually wanted to know, but hey, we’re sharing, right) 🙂
Now, if I do get lazy and let a little hair grow on the cupcake, under the arms or on my legs for a couple days or…god forbid…a week. Tough shit.
My theory is once he’s seen my ankles around my ears and my ass in the air he should be able to take a little hair on my legs.
Good strategy d_g ;~) Love it!
try the knees up mother brown and give birth to a watermelon…if he loves you after that he’s a keeper
Most guys don’t like hair, but any REAL man wouldn’t give a fuck.
Sugaring’s the say to go from what I’ve heard. I’ve never done it, but I gotta say shaving can be pretty crummy when you get those little red bumps and ingrown hairs. I’ve heard that’s pretty common when you first start, but after a while that goes away.
The only way to make it completely smooth for any length of time and to make sure you get everything is to wax or sugar. And that can get pricy.
It *is* a generational thing though. My mom and her friends are disgusted by it and said they have no interest in looking like they’re 12 years old. *shrug*
funk, are we the last of the REAL men here?
All this talk about girls shaving their bushes is getting me a little randy!
Is Katy Perry’s kitty furry?
I wish waxing weren’t so pricey, or I would take that route rather than shave. I would like to try the sugaring like PK mentioned though – I’ve heard good things.
I don’t like the bush at all, but if it came down to gettin laid and she had the bush… wouldn’t knock a tic off me.
mornin ivan-i don’t think it would matter to you if katy was furry or not…woohoo
the answer was charles bronson
Erm, Uh, – *Blush* Purely professional curiousity *cough, cough*
Mornin Painey >; )
Ah – all is now clear. That one threw me *Shamefaced screeee*
He’s also the only “Great Escaper” to have been part of the Dirty Dozen and the Magnificent Seven
Not to mention his role as Lt. Bullit (though he was kind of overshadowed by the car :P).
This may be a stupid question, but I haven’t heard of “sugaring’ before; does it invovle actual sugar? I heard getting sugar in those regions can cause infections, like sugar in flavoured lube does or something.
It conjures up images of grinding away with a finely grained sandpaper. Which, depending on your kink could either be a major turn on, or end with you confessing to being a child soldier in the service of Al Qaeda.
what was steven’s first starring role in?
Didn’t he have a TV Western where he played a bounty hunter? I am purposely not going to Google this.
“the blob” starring steven mcqueen…screee
I know someone who vajazzled the word “Sexylicious” on to her crotch. It’s not really a word and I have no idea how she fit that whole thing on there. But before people go dissing girls who shave their pubic area, just know that girls who shave as well as glue sparkles and rhinestones to their pubic area exist.
If you thought fads couldn’t get any tackier than fake tans with bleached hair, tramp stamps, and the words “Sexy” and “Bootylicious” written across the ass of stretch sweatpants… you’d be wrong.
Vajazzle: The act of applying glitter and jewels to a woman’s nether regions for aesthetic purposes.
Fun fact Miss Painey….My little mans favourite Disney Movie “Cars”…the main character Lightening McQueen is named after Steve McQueen…..I guess he was also a racecar driver? Either way… I love the movie.
D’OH! >: ( He and Richard Attenborough went on to appear together in “The Sand Pebbles” 3 years after Great Escape.
I think the ‘bald look’ is a newly emerging cultural preference, and it goes along with that other relatively recently emerged preference that our culture has for women with breasts suitable for nursing mothers (ie. large and inflated) but the hips and asses of 12 year old girls.
I think these recent eruptions on the cultural/sexual scene have received a powerful thrust from the cash-engorged porn industry over the last thirty years. I expect things will reach a climax when the norm for adults becomes dressing up like prepubescent children in order to heighten the sexual experience.
I’m against ‘clear cutting’ on principle. It messes with the ecosystem. But I have to admit it does eliminate most of the wildlife in a given area.
He liked to race in his off time RC. I believe he financed and directed his own ego-project called “Le Mans” in the mid 60s. I’m not certain, but I think he did most of his own motorcycle stunt work in “The Great Escape”
That’s nothing Snoop, Rosie O’Donnell has most of “The Brothers Karamazov” written on her FUPA.
I whole genre of porn already involves the women dressing up like young girls. I disagree with your prediction. It’s already happened and although it has it’s fan-base, it hasn’t caught on.

Pubic hair stubble, the result of shaving, is disgusting. So is razor burn and pimple outbreaks from over-shaving. Trim but don’t shave your bush completely off. It’s gross when completely shaved.
If I’m with a woman, it’s because I want to be with her, not because of her bald/hairy pussy. Her hair, her choice.
I can see how the trimming/clear-cut got started by the smaller and smaller bikini bottoms, but wow, I think we’ve all gotten a little too fixated.
the boy’s favourite movie was “balto” rc…”the sand pebbles” is a good one, that scene where he shoots the man being tortured is incredible and back to the program http://hausdigital.com/wp-content/uploads/…
Couldn’t care less. Love my gf regardless.
In fact, sometimes I ask her to let it grow for a change 🙂
I usually shave too, though I can’t seem to avoid the nasty ingrown hairs and the feeling of a hundred fireants having a field day down there if I go more than two days without shaving the stubble. Wish there was a cheap and easy way to just get rid of that crap for good, or a depilatory that doesn’t scorch my delicate ladyflaps.
you mean like electrolysis?
Yeah, something not so time-consuming and expensive though, unless those little DIY machines on the shopping network actually work on pube hair.
I still swear by my electric razor, it’s quite gentle and gets really close without eating me alive…
electrolysis – no way am I going to let some wacko near my junk with a tazer.
good grief ralmn, you sexy beast you. don’t start shaving stuff and it won’t grow back
as i said before, it is normal for a female to have a hairy snatch. if the guy don’t like it, he can find a bald cunt someplace else. i have been with hairless girls, and it disgusts me, rather have a little cushion for the pushin. maybe the sl;apping sounds another o.p. overheard, was the sound of skin on skin only. with hair, it is not as bad as that. and trust me, i have been fucked by some pretty wild chicks before. it just makes diving more fun too, like going thru a lelp patch. girls, if you got it, grow it, and come and see the suckster, he doesn’t care if you are like an ape down there, or the pits either.
I can’t help it.
Every time I read one of your posts on a subject like this, I hear Glen Quagmire speaking.
“Disgust” at a hairy snatch seems like a bit much. How much bush does a lady have to have to provide ‘cushion’? Geez, I’m picturing Chewbacca here.
Oh, I meant ‘bald clam’.

The Suckster is HELLA KULE! Tells a great story, knows more about computers than I ever will AND can field dress big game. A 21st century Renaissance man. Beat that , Annie.

vun off dese dayz, ve vill meet, und zen, lookit out. gotcha painy. we must do it again sometime soon comrade ivan. maybe i can camp out for a few years in the stacks, and maybe meet another stow away there. the pleasure was mine, and maybe that sexy rosie can join us too?

I went out with a girl from Italy about 30 years ago, & she had hair under her arms, it was trim but it was definately there. I didn’t mind it at all actually. She didn’t shave her pubes or her legs either & although she was a brunette, her leg hair was very fine & a light blond… we were both in our early twenties at the time. I have nothing but good memories of our time together.
Okay, so oral sex is standard issue for a modern sex life, right? A shaved or trimmed beaver is quite frankly, just less distracting for the simple reason that you’re not extracting hairs from your mouth every ten seconds. As far as being cleaner, a stinky pussy is a stinky pussy no matter what it’s wearing.
All the GFs I’ve ever had have always appreciated a bit of manscaping as well, especially yes, the balls. No man should ever shave his chest though, that’s just wrong.
