Is it really the norm to be completely hair free for sex now?

I was married for 30 years, I kept myself tidy if I was likely to be going swimming but that's about it. DH never seemed to mind or express a preference for anything else.

I was part of a conversation with a bunch of middle aged, mostly single, admittedly quite drunk, men and women (don't ask me how the conversation came up!) and the consensus seemed to be that anything other than a completely hair free woman and a well trimmed man was "disgusting".

I've told them all Blush that if the ever get the opportunity (they won't!) they'll have to take it as it comes 😆

I really can't imagine setting myself up for that sort of maintenence, even if I wanted to, but is it really the norm?

I can’t believe that any woman who shaves their pubes off thinks that’s just personal preference and that they are in no way influenced by porn, patriarchy etc. I don’t think it’s rude to say that it looks like a child, the main thing in my view that distinguishes a child/adult genital area is hair. I appreciate that many disagree but in my view it’s part of an ever increasing objectification and disgust with the natural body.

If you are thinking of sex and hairless women and your mind is going directly to a child then you are the problem and probably shouldn't be around any children.

Convenient. 🚲 Particularly when you then referenced you did discuss sex tips with your dad particularly when he entered the dating pool. That has nothing at all to do with IVF.

Yep, so again there is a list of 4 things, I chat to dad about most. Not all.

It’s not back peddling when I clearly stated that in my original comment, you have misunderstood and made a tit out of yourself.

And yes I do discuss sex and tips with dad, I don’t discuss my minge, which you have wrongfully asserted multiple times.

Stop embarrassing yourself and learn to read properly next time

The child like comparison annoys me. Likewise those who insist it is all porn related. Do all these people have hairy legs and hairy underarms? If they choose to so, that's fine but to add, I may be hair free but I wear a 36F bra and rock some fairy large hips. Also my labia looks nothing like a child. Nothing in my appearance is child like.

Do people say that men who shave their faces look like boys? Honestly!

GS tells me he never gets challenged about his age in pubs if he's got stubble, if he's clean shaven he does so for young men it might be true that they look like boys if they've shaved.

Very true. DH grew a beard aged sixteen and was happily going to pubs and clubs, there was a very baby-face under there but people don't look that closely.

JackTorrance · 10/12/2022 22:38

I tend to shave my legs maybe four times a year and my armpits almost never. I prefer the look of them hairy and it's more comfortable.
Legs I do quite like shaven but I'm lazy.

Phrenologistsfinger · 10/12/2022 22:39

Nooe - DP and I are 40 and as nature intended in this house. My impression amongst friends is natural is normal as well!

DarkKarmaIlama · 10/12/2022 22:40

@Baconsprouts

No, I haven’t made a tit out of myself. I was just simply letting you know that choosing not to get sex tips from your own father certainly doesn’t make you sexually repressive, as you seem to think so. Neither does it make one insular.

If anyone has embarassed themselves on this thread it is most certainly you. At least you have admitted your parents are abnormal though I’ll give you that one.

Baconsprouts · 10/12/2022 19:56

Odd you are confused that people have different relationships with their parents.

I regularly discuss my sex life, bits, waxing issues with my mum, Nan, aunts etc. heck I even chat about most of this with my dad.

Some people are closer to their families than others

Is this genuine? That's disgusting and really inappropriate.

Madness isn't it, one of my sons was 6 ft by 13, 6ft 3 by 15 and he never had a problem getting served in a pub from 15 on even if he was clean shaven apparently if you get over 6ft you must be an adult.

Oh you certainly have, advertising you’ve totally misunderstood a comment and then continue to spout nonsense is definitely making a tit out of yourself.

You are clearly not all there so won’t bother to engage further, but do continue wrongly posting that I chat about my minge to my dad.

JackTorrance · 10/12/2022 22:46

@ancientgran wow that was a tall thirteen year old! Yes totally I think people just look at the first thing in front of them - height, beard - and base their impression on that.

For some strange reason I've never had hairy armpits, I'm a fairly hairy woman but my armpits always look freshly shaved.

WandaWonder · 10/12/2022 22:48

I don't care what others do but no way on this planet is anyone touching my hair down there, including myself

It grows for a reason I leave it well alone

It was a shame for him, tall, skinny and with awful acne way before any of the others got acne. By 15 he'd filled out a bit, roaccutane had sorted out the acne and he had filled out enough to not look like a famine victim but those two years were tough.

@rainbowandglitter

Utterly grim isn’t it?

DarkKarmaIlama · 10/12/2022 22:53

@Baconsprouts

Hmm, I don’t quite think you’re all there openly admitting you swap sex tips with your own dad but thanks for the laughs 🤣.

PortiasBiscuit · 10/12/2022 12:49

Porn innit? I think it’s grim, everyone wants to fuck women who resemble little girls. Bleuch!

This.

I wouldn’t date a man who fancied a pre-pubescent looking pussy 🤷‍♀️

And on a man, I find body hair very attractive.

hiyaqwerty · 10/12/2022 22:56

@PortiasBiscuit how is it resembling little girls? Last I knew little girls don't have full grown boobs 🙄
I think it's disgusting for both men and woman to have pubic hair, including underarm hair. Revolting that most men don't remove it. In certain cultures men must remove it

Do you feel the same way about head hair?

Glad I don’t live in a culture where we ‘must’ maintain body hair a certain way. That’s really not to be admired. Being pressurised to have it a certain way is bad enough.

Phrenologistsfinger · 10/12/2022 23:16

I love body hair on a man, it’s so masculine! DP is very disappointing in that regard…just a few stray wisps.

I would get the serious ick if contributed by some hairless giblets and smoorh chest plus chest/back stubble on a man is also gross.

dotdotdotdash · 10/12/2022 23:16

@Baconsprouts I’m still waiting for the reference to the ‘objective fact’ that older people are more prudish than younger ones. Citation please!

You'd hate my household then. My body hasn't seen a razor since I realised what a load of sexist shite shaving was and that was about 35 years ago.

I think shaved women look like plucked chickens.
