In the pubic interest

I've nothing against someone shaving their pubic hair if they want to, but I find it problematic if a shaved pussy becomes such a standard that women feel they have to shave to fit in - and I think that might be where this current trend is leading to. It's already happened with arm and armpit and leg hair: most women I know think it's kinda "weird" if a woman doesn't shave those parts. If this was a subjective choice I'd have no problem with it, but a hairless body has become such a beaty standard it's hardly just a matter of personal choice. I don't think it should be anyone's responsibility as a woman to shave any part of their body.

As for a shaved pussy being "cleaner, fresher, feels nicer, is better for oral sex and is more visually stimulating", personally I don't feel that way at all. Even if you haven't shaved it, it stays fresh and clean enough if you just wash it regularly. And it doesn't really feel nicer to me, I like stroking a bit of hair. And like I mentioned above, if there's any stubble there, it's not better for oral sex; a hairy pussy is actually a better cushion for your face. As for visual stimulation, I don't find the inside of a vagina a particularly aesthetic sight (the porn movie style of "showing it all" is just too straightforward), and the shaved outside certainly has kind of a pre-pubescent look, which I don't think is particularly stimulating. A hairy pussy, on the other hand, retains its mystery and exhumes an aura of maturity, which to me is much more stimulating.

you know how some hotels offer you a choice of pillow? Well I sense an untapped market

Hi Dere, you asked for this

That is not comfortable at all, where is the hair?

stuffed inside the pillow

it's kind of a role reversal sort of scene

wow

i love this board

Pubic hair stuffed into a vagina takes us right back to shaft shaving

i just want to know whether the button on the pillow is functional or just decorative.

So a hairy pussy is like a nice Bordeaux, then...

exudes or exhumes? It has been over a decade since I was goth, but the phrase "exhumes an aura of maturity" just calls to mind the smell of rotting corpses. Not v sexy.

h8 these personal presumptions abt "sexy"

exhumes an area of morbidity

sorry T. - i shouldn't judge people that find the aura of rotting corpses sexy.

<3

It's OK to shag dead animals, says judge

though "tbrr" if someone cut up a rotting corpse and stuffed it into a pillow decorated like a shaved vagina with a function button that they'd undo and then bury their face in the rotting corpse while masturbating -- i'd think they were a very sick individual.

Sorry, I meant to says "exudes", not "exhumes".

LOOK YOU STUPID PRUDE CUNTS SOME OF US ARE OF SEMI-MEDITERRANEAN STOCK AND HAVE A LIGHT COATING OF HAIR AROUND THE BASE OF THE PENIS NOW I HAVE FUCKED 16 WOMEN AND NOT ONE HAS EVEN NOTICED LET ALONE COMMENTED UPON THIS FACT BECAUSE IT REALLY ISN'T A DEAL NOW KINDLY STOP BEING ALL 'EW' AND ALL 'OHH' ON I LOVE FREAKING TOO MUCH INFORMATION THERE ARE PLENTY THINGS MORE DISTURBING THAN A FEW FOLLICLES ON ONE'S PECKER SUCH AS ANYONE WHO THINKS THERE IS ONE WAY OF DEALING WITH PUBIC HAIR

Yeah I think having a few shaft hairs is totally normal.

I also don't like shaving them at the risk of the tiny hairs that are inevitably present growing back darker and longer.

i trash this board a lot but what a great thread, tons of everything i come to TMI for, kenan being weird, j0hn being self-righteous, ppl being unreasonably butthurt because someone suggested their sexual preferences are gross/creepy, and, of course, louis actively engaging in that special activity that the board purports to love

for the record i shave my pussy

max being sardonic in that winning way of his, also failing to tell us about his operation

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Admit it, you rip 'em out 20 at a time to keep yourself in the proper mood for dealing with humanity.

No matter the hair, the idea that shaving makes it grow back thicker is 100% myth. But don't take it from me.

can't tell what is making me laugh more, that or the idea of literally shaving your vagina

harbl OTM...the Vagina Monologue™ c/o a woman who was irritated that her husband didn't like her "hairy vagina," I was with the husband – if it was indeed her vagina that was full of hair, that sounds like a nightmare on so many levels (mostly keeping clean).

Oh btw "shaft hair trivia" that is also "Beastie Boys trivia": the artist for the cover of License to Ill said the plane was meant to be a dick, and the smoldering mushed up part was like the hair at the base (I read it in a book so it must be true)

I know saying "hairy vagina" is wrong, but is there a proper word in English to describe the whole female genital area? "Pussy" feels a bit too rude in a discussion like this.

gonna go with 'pubis', 'quim' or 'elfin grot'

it's ok tuomas i wasn't laughint *at* you, i knew what you meant

NOW I HAVE FUCKED 16 WOMEN AND NOT ONE HAS EVEN NOTICED

was going to ask "did you poll them afterwards" but the quote probably stands best on its own

I know something else that "stands best on its own", har har.

I actually think vagina is the best word to use here.

I am now hearing "hairy vagina" being chanted in my head to the cadence of the Dead Milkmen's "Bitchin' Camaro"

I see my one-person campaign to get people to not use "vagina" as a catch-all term (where "vulva" or something else would be more accurate) may be a fruitless effort. I blame my usual scapegoat, "Kindergarten Cop."

"Olympus Mons" was taken. ;_;

I am female with a full 70s bush 4

OH HAI LAYDEES

I was reading that like a Prince song title & thought, 'a full 70s bush 4...who? or what?'
