Thank god. I love my hair and it stays!

And as for this 'tard: "When a woman doesn't shave, it tells me she doesn't really respect herself," all I can say is a girl who shaves because of some guys misapprehension is the woman who doesn't respect herself.

The visual of bare is just nice as that of hair. The difference for this man lies in going south. A bare pussy is a wonderful treat for my tongue..... and no more need be said. I'm a hairy monkey and love every hair... but I do keep myself trimmed for her as well.

Count me firmly among the "bushies." The person who started shaving when she caught a glimpse of the current content of porn mags supports my personal theory that shaven pussies are a marketing ploy: Consciously or not, denuding the mons just started to APPEAR a dozen or so years ago, owing to no groundswell of consumer demand whatsoever that I remember noticing. The result now is nauseatingly typical: The marketers of porn sell "hirsute" women back to us (at inflated prices, usually) as one of the many "fetishes" that allegedly fascinate a significant proportion of the consumers out there--e.g., Golden Showers (Bleah! if I may editorialize). Then salt is rubbed in the wound (and the ploy reinforced) by describing such women as somehow primitive, slovenly--but all the sexier for that, for those of us weirdos out here who like such stuff--and unsanitary. For what it's worth, I remember such another (to me) gratuitous eruption in the depiction of sadism--at least a little whipping, a little blood--'way back in the '70s that thank goodness did not "catch on" as a major leitmotif in mainstream porn. Sorry to go on and on. I'm an old geezer and would pay a PREMIUM for just ONE lousy porn mag, just ONE occasional new porn DVD, that depicted women as God meant for them to look. In fact, I am such a troglodyte that woman-on-woman appeals to me hardly at all (got to be REALLY good looking, and obviously REALLY into it--rare); likewise, threesomes and up, while occasionally interesting, can't hold a candle to a man and a woman (unshorn), slowly, sincerely, passionately making love. Forgive the length--felt good to vent.

hair is fine if it's my future wife or my mother. but if i'm gonna be lucky enough to whisper into strange pussy.... i'd rather be sure there aren't any claws, teeth, guns, needles, or microphones nesting.

Thank you for your analysis of this weird "beauty" trend that seems to have started with the increase and ubiquity of pornography. I tried shaving out of curiousity and was beset by constant itching and ugly bumps. Then I tried waxing and it hurt like hell and was very expensive. Natural is better for me and if a man is that obsessed with hairlessness than he can pay for the damn process! Yes, it did feel good, I have to admit, but it felt pretty weird, too, like I was just ready for oral sex at any minute!

I vote bush too. always mmmmm

brilliant! it's about time someone has put it out there. agree with you 100%. thank you.

To further arouse such effluvial primitives this is why limburger cheese was created, and fish markets are not olfactorily ameliorated by air circulation nor incense ...yuk! YUK!

i'm in the waxing camp, for various reasons. i like the sensations it gives me; just going commando turns me on and i like that. i'm relativly hairless everywhere else as well, thanks to recessive genes, so i like to minimize my pubes to just a landing strip. i still fight with ingrown hairs, but that's due to having small pores...*shrug* i use a loofah and try to keep it to a minimum. one of these days, i'll just let it all grow back and be fluffy, but for now, i like to be bare. plus, it's gotten me laid; just last nite a conversation about my smooth skin and lack of body hair led to a discussion of waxing and a request to see my 'landing strip'. *grin*

The shaving craze has other interesting implications. I suspect Gillette, Schick et al have lots of secret marketing research that would be fun to read. That said, I agree that the spread of porn has driven the craze, but I also think it ties into the whole body adornment trend -- tattoos, piercing etc. As a man, I find hair very sexy -- especially if a woman has a LOT of hair, and it's thick all the way back to her asshole. But I also have felt the smoothness of a shaved pussy, which can be a delight when you're going down on a woman. It works best, however, for women who have prominent, protruding inner labia. It shows off that beautiful flower very nicely. It's the women whose inner lips don't show who look more like little girls.

you know, being middleastern i got a lot of hair to spare )where do you think those persian carpets come from wink wink) but i've always loved my downy, soft mound. so as per an ex-boyfriends' requst i shaved just to see what it's all about. the down sides; it took an hour, it grew back all itchy and made me feel like a 9 year old which i was non too thrilled about cause i wouldn't want to fuck a 9 year old. plus, i'm a gardener and sweat a lot at work and man did it sucked! there is no protective layer of hair to wisk away the sweat so i had a clammy clam all day! ew...when i asked the boyfriend to do it for me he refused. chicken.
bald, pastey white, clammy pussies being all the rage, you must be the last man in america that doesn't want to fuck childres. god bless you.

p.s. do you think middleastern porn stars have to shave every half hour?

Here here for bush. Besides liking women, not prepubescent girls, I like the mystery pubic hair represents . . . is that redhead redheaded? Is she a real blonde? Is the hair soft? Wirey? Bald is so predictable.

I'm a brazilian man and hate all these shaved women. My girlfriend has real pubic hair and I love to smell it, I think it's sexy, really sexy. I would like the women don't shave the hair under her arms, too. Some europeans women doesn't do and it's sexy. About hair on the legs, I don't know what to say. The truth is that some woman decided to look like dolls, with you hair on the legs, under the arms and on the pussys. I am not a child. I am a man.

A piece of liver? What does that mean?

My question is this: how do you tell, just by looking at a woman, if she has a hairy pussy? (Usually I look at a woman's forearms for hair growth.) I guess it's easy to tell if a woman is naturally hairy, but how can you tell, just by looking, if she's the type to trim, shave, or go totally natural? I mean, when the time comes, I don't wanna end up discovering that she's bald down there. Ick. I need a fail-safe way of telling beforehand. I suppose it's trial and error...

My generation is a shaving and braz-alienating one. The very unscientific research I've conducted shows that we au naturels are the definite minority. What's worse, a good number of 20somes, male and female, consider maintaining one's hairlessness to be part of a basic hygiene routine. I was glad to read that although I may be out of synch with my age demographic about yet another thing (don't get me started on the whole music issue), there are others who feel, as I, that Bush deserves a comeback. And until it gets its due, we young frontrunners of the movement will be cutting-edge countercultural rebels. How's that for turning things around and coming out cool for being soooo 30 years ago with the shag carpeting. Besides, when you're carded in Quebec (where they treat the 18+ age limit as a conservative suggestion) because you don't look your 21 years, a nicely furbished bush is your ultimate proof of age.

For all you 'bushies', sorry, but it's nasty. No one seems to complain when I shave my face that I'm trying to be boyish or prepubescent. Neither would anyone accuse someone who didn't like a beard on a man of being obsessed with young boys. Pubic grooming is a sexual ritual and it does increase sensitivity. I happen to like going down on a woman, and having her shaved (or at least trimmed) is cleaner. And who the hell wants to be picking pubes from between their teeth while dining downtown? YUK. Oh, and yes, I maintain as well. What's good for the gander...

I thought I was alone. I don't want government or the local garden club in my bedroom. DOWN WITH TOPIARY PUBIC HAIR. If I'm drunk enough I'll take home that hot guy even if he has his intials shaved in his head. However, once I loosen the belt I want to see some fur. Trust me, I know what to do, I don't need the instruction shaved anywhere nearby.

There is nothing wrong with a little bush. As long as it's not a supper hairy wrap around from belly button to butthole. I think a woman should at least look like one, when you get her pants off. A bit of bush is ace...
