Men polled about women's pubic hair

Going to just leave this here:

Only disturbing if he tells you that he wants that because he wants you to look like a child. Otherwise, it’s silly to make assumptions.

I’m more disturbed by the opposite; nothing is worse a scoop of ice cream covered in hair.

The worst pizza can only leave me with severe anaphylactic shock, asthma, intestinal pain, and paranoia about the ingredients they didn’t list…

The worst sex can leave people with injuries, stds, and ptsd…

How appropriate, coming from a user named Ladyfingers. Brava!

Ha! I see what you did there.

Interesting. For me, sex is like chocolate: if it’s going to be Hershey’s, why bother?

Yeah, the accusation that those who like shaved pudenda are closet pedos is pretty tired now. Sexual selection for neotonous characteristics has been going on since before Homo was sapiens. By that definition we’re all the product of pedophilia.

Shaved pudenda have been a thing, on and off, since at least the time of the ancient Egyptians, and will probably continue to be a fashion thing until the expansion of the sun destroys us all.

I look forward to a future when fashion standards for grooming trend towards shaving one’s pubic hair into the text of a famous work of poetry. I think I’d go with W.B. Yeats’ The Second Coming.

It’s #$&*% itchy and irritating. That ought to be reason enough, but no. The amount of cleaning, exfoliating, priming and repeated moisturizing needed to not end up with a pox-like rash really adds up.

Of all the ridiculous, brain-space wasting, finicky standards, bare bits is at the top of the list. All I can say is I’m so glad I’m part of a generation that has just missed the epidemic. I honestly wouldn’t know what to do with a date so confident and entitled about his (her?) prospects of getting laid that they’d get all picky about hair down there. Critical first-world problem right there. I feel sad for younger people who might encounter such nonsense more than once.

Puirt Ć  beul.

This is a blog of wonderful things. I believe sex and genitals fall into that category.

As for the thing about women immediately jumping to the child comparison… that’s just weird. I’ve heard that a lot from women, but never once have I heard a man gleefully express, ā€œDude! She looked like she was twelve!ā€ (and I hope I never do.) Men, contrary to popular expectations, do regard the women they are involved with as more than their body parts. I think that we’ve gone too far with pedophiliaphobia as a society. There are pedophiles, which is close to an orientation, and there’s everyone else. No need to cast a wide net here, especially when you can blame everything from porn to a general social expectation that women be as hairless as possible as a standard of beauty.

And their religion was spread by actors who would demonstrate the often raunchy scenes from their mythology. It’s almost like things have gone full circle.

I’ve also seen it mentioned by various historians that Egyptians wouldn’t shave while they traveled, but would make a big deal out of shaving once they returned home.

It would be like complaining that a lifetime’s supply of free ice cream has too much hair in it.

I don’t dislike pubic hair that much.

The mental image of a particularly furry person, with a naked fresh-shaved crotch, but nowhere else, is amusing me right now…

And that’s the image I had of myself as soon as I saw one of those ā€œmanscapersā€ on Amazon…just laughed and moved on.
