No, you're right. "Shave" is a euphemism for the nanobots that live in my underwear that destroy the hair while I sleep.

I remain a little weirded out by how over the course of my life the practice of shaving the pubes has gone from something pretty rare to something that's if not expected then at least not even a little surprising.
In Finland at least this happened in an even shorter time: I've noticed the same change during the 13 years I've been sexually active. These days it's not uncommon to come across a fully shaved porcelain pussy even on hippie or feminist girls, who you wouldn't expect to shave it. The only proper explanation I can think of is that porn and porn imagery has become more mainstream, and obviously shaved pussies are very common in porn. Personally I much prefer hairy vaginas, I've always found fully shaved ones a bit weird. It's not like I'm gonna run away from a shaved pussy, but I think they have a sort of a preteen vibe which makes them a bit awkward. Also, if the hair has been allowed to grow a bit after the last shave, the resulting pussy stubble can give you the same sort of red face that you get from kissing a man with a stubble.

Oops, sorry - in Finnish "porcelain" is a slang term for a completely shaved pussy, but I guess it doesn't make much sense in English.

so basically you were saying "a fully shaved completely shaved pussy"?

Yeah, if you can't handle talk on pubic hair, don't read ILTMI. It's always kinda sad to see threads like this which start with a decent discussion, and then fall back into "Omigod, a penis!" jokes. Less jokes and more proper talk, please.
― Tuomas, Sunday, 11 July 2010 09:02 (thirteen years ago) link
This tendency for women to shave off or wax all their pubic hair is kind of interesting. Not so long ago a man interested in that would have been deemed a bit creepy - I wonder when it started - about ten years ago? I don't think it's explanatory enough simply to say that it's due to porn going mainstream, because women in porn didn't shave until - I don't know, I'm no expert, but the late nineties or so? Certainly Madonna in her Sex book in the early nineties is not shaven. Why did porn suddenly not like female pubic hair?
― Zelda Zonk, Sunday, 11 July 2010 09:14 (thirteen years ago) link
I'm not an expert on the subject either, but I think it has to do something with porn becoming more extreme, wanting to "show it all" in extreme closeups, etc. And obviously it's easier to show it all if there's no pubic hair. In the old porn movies I've seen, there's much less of "spreading the pussy" type of closeup shots. I think I've read some article on porn history that said this "extreme" trend began around the 80s and early 90s. And Madonna is not a good example because she's not a porn actress, therefore she probably followed mainstream trends and not porn trends when it comes to shaving.
I'm not saying that porn explains it all, certainly there could have been trends that effected shaving both in porn and mainstream society, but I do think shaved vaginas became prevalent in porn several years before it happened more widely in Western societies, and the mainstreaming of porn is probably at least a partial explanation to this wider phenomenon.
