bahahaha thanks thread

OK I'll come out and admit that I find it a little weird that some straight guys would shave and or wax

it's a hygiene thing, not a vanity thing, tbh. thicket isn't the easiest thing to keep clean and fresh

okay I just properly read Kenan's first post and now I am visualizing this:

... only in pubic hair.

little-known fact stateside, that guy was the singer from Hairhouse, whose Kajagoogoo-inspired single "...Only In Public Hair" reached #3 on the Finnish singles chart IIRC

interestingly enough "public hair" and "pubic hair" are synonyms in Finnish

FYI this is what happens when Kenan shaves his face

xpost to hi dere - that's not an "l," it's a hair on your screen

Baby, let me touch you there
In your public hair
Let me feel it if you dare
In your public hair
Baby, you should be aware
That I just don't care
Come on baby, don't be scared
Let me touch your public hair

total jam IMO

"It's a gender-reversed film noir spoof, in which a hard-boiled female detective tries to locate the eponymous ceramic feline"

ok you totally invented that movie, got an imdb pro account, and made up the whole page just for lols.

That kenan blood face picture is going to haunt my nightmares...

holy lol

There's something Harry Potter-ish about it though.

Or maybe that's what happens when you try and shave using a webcam instead of a mirror...

90% of webcam shots of men are shirtless. why?

so you can dig those guys' breasts, duh

porcelain pecs

(weak drum loop, tinkling piano)

i'm trying to catalog all the changes i've noticed during the 13 years tuomas has been sexually active...

hahahahahahahahaha

I did that about an hour after posting, "Razors are not that tricky." Instant karma's gonna get you.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Wait back up to the shaving shaft bit again: am I missing something here or is there a suggestion of hair on the actual penis? Because um, ... what?

on the lower quarter-to-a-third of a hirsute man's prick, are found a few stray hairs. it happens.

full disclosure, mine's like a beefeater's hat the whole way up

ha

ok can we change the name of this board to I Always Think I Love TMI But Then I Just End Up Convulsing With Grief

i guess i don't know which english stupid looking traditional soldier i'm thinking of, eh?

I like that as a board description. (xp)

oh cmon guys you can't have tmi on tmi

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.

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?

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.

omg, a penis

oh shit a bare behind

tuomas all otm

especially when he said this which I will now c&p for posterity

It's not like I'm gonna run away from a shaved pussy

not sure why some ppl think it's 'creepy' for a woman to shave her vag - the 'ew it's so pre-pubescent' is pretty bullshit, since it's widely acceptable (and mostly preferable) for women to shave their armpits and legs. in my experience guys like shaved vag for the same reasons: it's cleaner, fresher, feels nicer, is better for oral sex and is more visually stimulating.

According to Wikipedia, the Brazilian became popular/widely-known amongst "the average person" in the late 80s, which jibes with my memories of people making Brazilian wax jokes in high school.

Wikipedia also has a handy visual guide to different wax jobs; it is probably for the best that guys don't do this as all of them would look silly next to a penis (esp. the landing strip; no one wants a dick with fuzzy racing stripes).

it's cleaner, fresher, feels nicer, is better for oral sex and is more visually stimulating.

this is all kinda crazy subjective stuff here - I mean - if people enjoy shaving their parts, hey, more power to 'em, but "cleaner"? a shower's a shower; "feels nicer" - mileage varies obv; "better for oral sex" & "more visually stimulating" - you'll find plenty of people of both genders who'll disagree on both counts. but I don't think it's creepy for a woman to shave it! just for dudes to think there's something gross about woman parts that have hair on them - a dude for whom the vagina in its natural state seems a thing in need of grooming/improvement, is a dude creeps me out a little, is all

this is all kinda crazy subjective stuff here - I mean - if people enjoy shaving their faces, hey, more power to 'em, but "cleaner"? a shower's a shower; "feels nicer" - mileage varies obv; "better for oral sex" & "more visually stimulating" - you'll find plenty of people of both genders who'll disagree on both counts. but I don't think it's creepy for a man to shave their faces! just for chicks to think there's something gross about man's face to have hair on them - a chick for whom the face in its natural state seems a thing in need of grooming/improvement, is a chick creeps me out a little, is all

gahhhhhhhhhhhhh i said IN MY EXPERIENCE

WHICH DENOTES SUBJECTIVISM

sorry steve didn't mean to make you feel bad about your distaste for hairy vadge

xpost yeah people who have sexual preferences different than mine completely creep me out, is all

you must mean bearded ladies?!?!

also not many girls i know shower more than once or twice a day; certainly not after every time they pee (sure, you 'wipe' but there's all that bush there!!) or whatever else they may have going on down there, so yeah IT IS CLEANER IN MY EXPERIENCE.

create 'i love pubes' board & make me tha mod
