Bring back the bush channel 4

Loving the hypocrisy of the fat, doughy, middle-aged man who demanded his partner went hair free because that's how it looks in porn but had never removed his own pubes.

I hope no woman ever lets him near their pubic region, shaved or not.

Thankyou ladies, fro reassuring me. I always keep some hair but do try to trip but yes infections are common, and it gets itchy. I could not/will not go bald like a porn star or my 12 year daughter.

The retro full bush look is making a comeback.

Off on a tangent, but 2Rebecca's post about the sheer effort and expense of "grooming" reminds me of this sign I saw today which made me chuckle...what happens if you only have a tenner? Do you get one foot and one hand done?

Agree with Goosefoot

Sounds interesting might give it a watch on catchup :)

I’m au naturale, I just CBA with it all. Discussed it with DP once who said “as long as he can find what he’s looking for he doesn’t mind” . Love him, he’s a keeper.

I have come to believe you can make a tv program about anything.

I agree - no pubic hair looks awful and actually feels awful. Much clammier (sorry, tmi).

But what a to-do! Who'd have thunk you could even make a TV programme about this?

Just watched it. Pleased the young women were more comfortable with their pubic hair but now they need to be comfortable with their own eyelashes and fingernails. They looked so artificial and it seemed such hard work, and I'm not convinced showing the world your pudenda is really a feminist act. It sounded as though that was how they made their money though and they seemed happy and looked a healthy BMI not half starved. I'm getting old though and am not really sure what an influencer is. I was influenced by Simone de Beauvoir and Germaine Greer but this seems different.

I'm late 30s. No way I'm going bald. Have done waxing in the past, once went the full Brazilian, hated it. I looked like a child. Plus the regrowth, argh!

I now tidy up when I'm going to go swimming or something, I will shave the sides but there's no way I'm getting rid of the hair in the middle.

DH doesn't care much either way. I wouldn't be in a relationship with someone who thought my body hair was dirty or disgusting.

As a GP I think there is an age/ education divide re female pubic hair. Older women and more educated women are more likely to have some sort of bush. Agree that in the 70s everyone had bushes. Have waxed or delipidated mine off a few times and always got folliculitis and itchy horrible regrowth despite having more access than most to creams to prevent this.

I don't care what my DH, or any man, thinks about it.

Waste of my time and money and effort!

It's bloody itchy.

What's the point?

TBH I think the change in porn was in part because of the increased visibility but also because it was different, and different can be a turn on. I would not be totally surprised to see it change again in a while.

I do have some sympathy for people preferring what they are used to. I hate manscaping, whatever I believe ideologically about people making their own choices I find it a total turn off. And its not something you can just change about your response.

Gives me a rash trying to remove hair any way, and it itchy and uncomfortable. I trim and shave the upper leg line for swim wear but it's sad girls feel that much pressure. I also thinks it's definitely weird men prefer to look at a child like pubic area

Mockers I agree. Why are fully grown women expected to look like prepubescent children? The porn film director said that the, um, action was better seen, but everyone else bar one said it was unclean, dirty, disgusting etc. I found it really sad that the women felt that way about themselves.

And to the beards. What a (literally) topsy turvy world we live in!

It's socialisation. 1970s porn was a veritable rain forest of topiary, an absence of which was a red flag indicating that way lies prison.

Will have to watch that on catch up. My DH isn’t fussy (he’s 30s) but I’ve spoken to men who think men naturally prefer the bald look as opposed to being conditioned to like it.
I remember being asked to shave it c1999 (bic as opposed to electric). Never again. Keeping tidy, fine. Incurring discomfort not fine.

Hahahah BoF, you're like ham. You're on a roll

Likewise, the hipster men who metrosexually started to "groom" down there, needed to grow beards to compensate...
