godawful Gillette ad of man shaving his pubes

Those are so awful. I don’t know why they have to be so vivid in their language. I can well imagine poor schoolgirls being mocked by immature boys because of that advert.

Also Scarlett Moffat and “get it up there, girls!”

Just clear your cookies!

I'm dreading the day when this trend is extended to adult diapers.

I've seen that ad, OP, it kind of gives me the ick too - and my partner does trim pretty heavily - but there is something really off-putting about that ad.

I suspect that particular ad might be targeted at women, fwiw. There was a time when Youtube thought I was a man, and kept giving me ads for that ball deodorant , beard products, cars, and stuff to make your baldness go away, and weird ads for belts. I only saw the pube shaver guy after they realized I was not in fact a man.

The 'gush' ones aswell!!

We'll agree to disagree

Loads of adverts are like that, though.

Ads about period products and vaginal dryness have no relevance to men. Ads about ED and (face) shaving have no relevance to women. Ads for baby and child-related goods have no relevance to people who are not parents. Ads for weight-loss jabs have no relevance to very thin people. Ads for over-50s plans have no relevance to younger people.

Personally, I'd much rather have general adverts and realise that I just ignore virtually all of them any that aren't relevant to me, rather than have creepy cookies seeking to track me everywhere I go online to serve me with 'more relevant' ads.

I don't like the Booking.com adverts either, fwiw. The 'hilarious' way they have Paddy McGuinness swearing-not-swearing is tedious in the extreme and - by design - can throw you off-balance for a moment.

Even the BBC isn't immune from adverts, although they are more 'cute' about it. Every time they discuss or review a new song, book, film or product, that's obviously what it is. Plenty of people go on to Dragons' Den without any desire or expectation of striking a deal, but rather primarily for the massive surge of traffic that will inevitably come to their websites as a direct result.

For those that havent seen it, you get a zoomed in full screen shot of his lower abdomen, bellybutton and multiple inches of flesh underneath it, cutting off not much above where you'd actually start seeing penis where it attaches to his body, there's full happy trail and top of his pubes. Its far more than i want to see of any mans body that is not my partners.

I've not seen it @ThatNimblePeer. Sounds gross though.🤮

Do you have a link? Asking because I forget what a naked man looks like for a friend doing research on this kind of thing?🤓

Not youtube (all hail AD block!) but it followed me round on twitch for months. Every ad break on every channel i wasn't a paid subscriber to, boom, it was pube man. Its that FACE he pulls when he puts his hand on the shower glass preparing to shave like he's grimmacing in pain that haunted me. Agreed he's not attractive and the ad is shot in a way they're very much sexualising his body and situation with the "seductive" narrator tone too. I'm not a fan at all of content like that and i never found a way to express dislike of that ad to be shown something else.

And no grown woman resembles a pre pubescent child just because she's removed her pubic hair.

Just as she wouldn't resemble a newborn baby if she removed the hair on her head.

Ooo😎

But, I don't find a man shaving pubes off remotely attractive. I don't want a bald as a coot penis. I find it a bit nauseating. I like hair on a man.

This is pretty irrelevant though.

No-one should take any notice of other people's opinions on their own personal body hair.

@ThatNimblePeer have you tried clicking the 3 dots on the add you should get a drop down menu which will have don't show this add again and most importantly why am I seeing this add

I've not seen it.

Equally it pisses me off that women feel pressured to shave it all off. A trim should be good enough. Pre pubescent look isn't cool

Well, it's unhealthy. You shouldn't shave your pubes, it can cause lots of skin irritation, spots etc.
Also, when women do it they look pre-pubescent (think this might be the point?) which is deeply creepy as well as pornified.
Tacky advert. I skip them now Youtube has thrown a fit about ad-blockers. I don't watch films there, though.

It's just body hair and you said you can't see his pubes anyway 🤷‍♂️

Plus, I'm not sure you'd want to see it even if you did deem him 'sexy' enough for you.

It would barely register with me, let alone make me feel sick

Can't remember the brand, but she's sitting on the loo, knickers down with red "blood" on her pad.

Aaah how horrible for you. Yes I would find that disagreeable to see once, because as a pp I'd think "why" (and then start wondering about the stubble 😭). To see all the time would definitely do my head in.
Are you logged in to youtube? what happens if you log out?
Also if you are watching n a browser, try duckduckgo (that i use for mumsnet) as it blocks a lot of tracking.

But you’ve said you don’t see his pubes
you seem very repulsed by the mere thought of pubes

Probably just innocently watching a crochet tutorial, there is no control over the ads on YouTube unfortunately

yh iv seen it and it's bit awkward,so is the tampon ad tho with scarlet moffit when she's saying about pushing it right up the fanny,I'm like er my kids are watching this it's 11am,world's gone crazy
