To be retrospectively freaked out by exP's pubic hair

OK, this is slightly light hearted, but then again not really, because for some reason it's got into my head and I've been obsessing about it the last few days. To be fair I've not been out much over Christmas.

My exP: we dated for a couple of months, I called it a day, we remained friends. Lately I've been cooling on that front too as he's been dropping hints he thinks we're about to start up again Confused

Which is irrelevant, except for the fact that avoiding his texts/suggestions of 'popping round' has made me think about him/us more than usual, and I've remembered something I did register at the time we were having sex but not as strongly as I'm reregistering it now.

His pubic hair was kind of long, and kind of silky... Blush

We didn't have much sex (or good sex) and the lights were always off (his choice) so I didn't get a proper look, maybe I'd have freaked out more at the time but I can remember putting my hand there and thinking, "This is weird..."

Is it weird? Maybe I'm not very experienced but I've never encountered pubic hair that you could actually brush if you wanted. Isn't it usually short and frizzy?

There was other sexual stuff that contributed to us splitting (old thread somewhere about passionless silence/teenage-style humping) and that must have overridden the pubic hair thing. But I'm not exaggerating the length, it was flat and smooth, you could have wrapped it around your finger a few times I think.

And no, this debate I'm having with myself has no actual bearing on my life, past present or future. I'm just wondering really if anyone else has encountered this before and if they did/would feel a bit creeped out by it. Sorry. Blush

I've no idea whether YABU or not, but what a fantastic thread to start.

Very big LOL Grin

MeUnscrabbly · 30/12/2010 23:45

Ummm.

I literally don't know what to say about that. I've had a few partners in my time (same one for the last 17 years now though) but I don't recall any of them having long silky pubes Xmas Grin

Perhaps he straightened them and used lots of conditioner?

Are you really really freaked out, or can you laugh about it a bit? Is it really a problem considering you're not going to be seeing it again?

llareggub · 30/12/2010 23:46

Perhaps he is a werewolf?

sincitylover · 30/12/2010 23:47

maybe he put the GHDs on it Wink

Think Ive experienced something similar but not of the volume you describe.

Not really much of a turn on tbh!!!

Rindercella · 30/12/2010 23:47

I was going to say arf until I got to the bit "it was flat and smooth, you could have wrapped it around your finger a few times". Now I just want to boak! Sounds utterly revolting.

Of course YANBU.

singingcat · 30/12/2010 23:48

that is very weird

member · 30/12/2010 23:49

It could have been a merkin Grin

DitaVonCheese · 30/12/2010 23:50

YANBU.

igetmorelovefromthecat · 30/12/2010 23:50

Well I've been around the block once or twice and never encountered silky pubes before.

Most peculiar.

hester · 30/12/2010 23:51

It's unusual, but normal. [hester adopts lofty air of someone who has seen a vast range of pubic hair in her lifetime.]

mugggletoeandwine · 30/12/2010 23:51

Well, that's very interesting.
I read once somewhere that you should put conditioner on your pubes before you have sex.

Maybe he'd done that?

Not that you need to know this, but I have no pubes, I epilate them out, but if allowed to grow, they are straight.
No curly or frizzy here.

Perhaps years ago (not had a shag recently) some guy was posting on guysnet about a weird girl who had no pubes, and then, after a few weeks they grew back straight!

WimpleOfTheBallet · 30/12/2010 23:53

How long is long though? Are we talking a couple of inches or...something more luxurious?

missismonky · 30/12/2010 23:53

I am intrigued. No personal experience of silken pubes myself. I think it would be a bit of a turn off though, especially if you stumbled upon them in the dark with no warning. Surely if you have silky pubes you should swish them around proudly, like in a L'oreal advert.

allnightlong · 30/12/2010 23:54

I don't know if YABU but I probably am for being disappointed you didn't do it in the day light so you could have got a good look at it.
I've got an image now of a cock standing proud with it's very own silky bob. Blush

igetmorelovefromthecat · 30/12/2010 23:56

I reckon that someone with pubes so silky would be a bit of a wet lettuce in bed.

Am I right?

cece · 30/12/2010 23:57

Did you notice whether there was a parting or not? Grin

AnyFucker · 30/12/2010 23:58

was he worth it ?

MeUnscrabbly · 30/12/2010 23:58

Why on god's green earth are you supposed to put conditioner on your pubes before you have sex?

UnderTheRadar2212 · 30/12/2010 23:59

PMSL at merkin!

Don't worry love, if you go there again, take a comb to bed with you & give him a parting 'down the middle' before you start any naughty business.........

Have a bobble wrapped round ya wrist just in case though......... :o

chillichill · 31/12/2010 00:00

yanbu but he was for not trimming them, ffs. especially if they were like normal hair and long, that's a bit weird. but I think all men should trim their pubes, regardless of what the hair is like. it is nicer, neater, and makes things look bigger.

UnderTheRadar2212 · 31/12/2010 00:01

Why on god's green earth are you supposed to put conditioner on your pubes before you have sex?

Same as any hair - lather it with conditioner & the lice slide off!!!!!! :o

chillichill · 31/12/2010 00:02

conditioner does nothing to pubes, I've tried.

hmc · 31/12/2010 00:03

mummery - thanks, I am feeling distinctly green around the gills now!

Jellykat · 31/12/2010 00:03

Eeeewwww that's bizarre!

Am now dying to know what the rest of his bodily hair was like?

If he was totally bald elsewhere, methinks it was a handmade pubic wig?! Grin

CaptainNancy · 31/12/2010 00:04

Strsight pubic hair is more silky, curly pubic hair is more wiry... just the same as head hair really!
