Complete with an infographic, the poll is quite amusing, ānot that women give a damn what men think,ā as the Post so eloquently puts it.
Hahaaha. Oh man I needed a good laugh. Thanks.
Yeah. Just like men donāt give a damn what women think. Because you know, weāre not all concerned about how others perceive us at all. Nope. None of us have changed anything about ourselves because of what other people think - especially not people we sleep with. ROFL
Earth: I didnāt come here to make friends.
Iām actually a little surprised at the amount of manscaping going on. Seems about equal to the female levels of trimming, from empirical observation. If anything, Iād say this suggests a much more egalitarian attitude than the articleās āmen are pigsā tone suggests.
If I shaved my pubes completely, Iād have to shave my entire body, which frankly is too much hassle to contemplate. Even if I hadnāt already seen that episode of Seinfeld and the one of Malcolm in the Middle where his mom shaves his dadās back.
I wouldnāt have much of a problem with trimming my pubic triangle a bit shorter (actually itās more of a diamond shape), but nobodyās ever asked me to.
Edit: In case itās not obvious, Iām writing as a man, not a hirsute woman. When it comes to womenās pubes, Iām in the āwhatever sheās comfortable withā camp.
I wish you would.
Okay, now I should amend that to āNo-one important to me has asked me to.ā Sorry, bro.
Then why did the HuffPo ask them?
Also this seems to be missing a question. āHave you ever skipped/limited cunnilingus because of a womanās pubic hair grooming choices?ā Honestly, thatās really where full natural can be a bit of a mouth full.
During intercourse? Meh.
The manscaping question has some odd answers. It seems like at least 68% of men do trim or shave their pubic hair. Possibly another 20% do if their partner does. Youāre right though, 68-88% of men* grooming their pubic hair is considerably more than I would have guessed.
* Men who read askmen.com which seems to be geared towards higher style-conscious men
If you got hairy legs you cant really shave everything. You look silly. You can trim up though.
Pretty important methodological note: 5,000 men who regularly read and would agree to take a Huffpo pollā¦ so, self-limiting samples and all thatā¦
Mister Overshare here confesses that he has experienced occasions when he silently wished some of that hair wasnāt in the way. But that never stopped him from enthusiastically partaking in this indulgence.
It would be like complaining that a lifetimeās supply of free ice cream included one too many gallons of pistachio.
Exactly. I really donāt care what it looks like. HOWEVER, having choked on a full natural set? Yeahā¦my most recent serious ex rarely got this service because I just couldnāt do it. Has nothing to do with how it looked, it had to do with fur tickling the uvula.
Soā¦women may not give a damn what we think, but if certain activities are curtailedā¦they might need to reconsider.
Well, it could provide a useful screening tool. Were I single, I couldnāt continue to be involved with a man who asked me to go completely hairless. The implications of such a request seem to me rather disturbing. Grown women, like grown men, have pubic hair.
Not to overshare, but I once had to stop, run to the bathroom and then spend no less than five minutes trying to cough up hair(s) that had managed to get stuck in the back of my throat near my uvula. Nothing would dislodge it. I eventually had to go to the kitchen and grab a spoon of peanut butter
Luckily my partner had a sense of humor.
The reverse has also happened (though without the running out of the room), which is why I now keep extremely tidy down there.
Nice pubes
Yeah I have never really cared one way or the other. Though I havenāt ever had as bad a problem with stray hair as @Aloisius has had.
Well, donāt read too much into it. Grown women, like grown men, also have hairy legs and armpits. Thereās a vast difference between pedophiles and people who simply prefer slightly less-lush (or an absence of) pubic hair.
Implications? What implications are there?
Are they any different from the implications of women wanting to date men who have a single (and far more noticeable) prepubescent characteristic (ie: being clean shaven)?
