In being surprised that apparently 98% of UK women under 25 have no pubic hair at all?

[Longstocking2]

Is that true?

A friend who is a practice nurse says she presumes it's just a fashion. None of her women under 25 who come for smear tests have any pubic hair.. all shaved, shorn, waxed to nada.

Obviously that's fine but it seems a little universal to me. Aren't there any rebels out there?
Is it just for the boys they do it?

Does the image not come from porn originally?

{shock]

would love to be enlightened!
Clearly I'm over 25

In Japan, AFAIK, pubic hair is still considered erotic - for a long time the censors were extremely strict about any images of pubic hair and genitalia, and a lot of porn is still pixellated - but you now regularly get actresses/celebs who want to boost their ratings doing a 'hair nude' photoshoot, with a daring glimpse of their pubes... I would agree that the trend for hairlessness and generally more plastic-looking perfect Barbie-doll bodies is quite an American thing.

A pity there's a hangup about 'spiders legs'. It's incredibly erotic...

ancient egyptians used to pluck all their body hair and shave their heads then put on a wig made with human hair.

So I dont think there is anything new about shaving your pubes

Nobody has said that cantspel.

Haven't wound anybody up!

I think most guys prefer oral sex with a hairless vagina.... certainly all my friends who have expressed a preference do ... I think it looks nicer too but that's my personal opinion and each to their own ...

Oh fuck off ffs and why have you bumped a 4 year old thread?

I do like to get rid of it and it be more appealing to hubby but with a 7 month old time is in short supply and its hardly essential!

I was going to have a good old tidy up before baby arrived but she had other ideas... legs were more embarassing as had been struggling to shave them late pregnancy and was saving all my energy to do them right before the planned section date.. again 10 days early meant that never happened and I had an amazing jungle.

I can't speak for anyone else, and am over 25 now.

But I've been shaving and later waxing mine since I was about 13. Nothing to do with porn, I just always preferred the feel of my skin smooth.

zombie thread

ZOMBIE THREAD!

Did you wank over read the whole thread to comment on pubic hair on women before you bumped it 4 years since the last post, Nathan?

Please leave poor Nathan alone. He was merely giving his view. It was an interesting read anyway. I'm over 25 and meet the criteria same as Losing , just easier to be honest

but it is a Zombie Thread innit

Poor Nathan?

He has a history.

Have reported to MNHQ.

Please leave poor Nathan alone. He was merely giving his view.

Okay, poor Nathan, with his interests in which Mumsnetters are naked at home / have pubes.

Mine are certainly greyer now than they were when this thread started.

I vary it. Full bush, trimmed & then sometimes I start shaving and keep going. Whipping it all off isn't necessarily about looking 'attractive'; sex, especially oral, can feel much better hair free.

I wouldn't react well to someone telling me what to do with my body hair though.

I'm 22. I have a full bush and long term boyfriend

I live with four other (single) 22 year olds. They have pubic hair most of the time - unless they're dating or going out with the potential for a ONS.

I know this because we chat a lot (moan) about it

bwah, I've just spent hours reading... A ZOMBIE THREAD.

All that time wasted formulating my response too :(

I am 45 and I get rid of mine. Every 3 weeks.

Wishes she'd seen the zombie thread posts and now everybody KNOWS

HoneyDragon, mine too!

HoneyDragon, mine too!
