To think this article on pubic hair topiary is depressing

Can't believe a woman wrote it. I thought that the Health Guidance website that its on is a serious health website, I think Heat magazine would be ashamed to write such drivel.

Well hubby is still around after twenty odd years...

worraliberty · 13/06/2011 17:38

I can't see what it's got to do with health either but equally I'm surprised some people don't maintain themselves down there. Even my DH has a monthly trim just to stop me moaning about forests and the like Blush

TheFlyingOnion · 13/06/2011 17:40

yup, I'd expect my partner to be tidy, same as me

Pubes in the teeth

catgirl1976 · 13/06/2011 17:44

I do get worried by people who seem do no maintenance in that area (male or female).

worraliberty · 13/06/2011 17:45

I suppose some people are naturally more hairy than others so maybe those who don't trim..don't have much hair at all. Certainly they can't have any grey yet either Blush

RogerMelly · 13/06/2011 17:45

why do you get worried?

and how do you know?

usualsuspect · 13/06/2011 17:47

Worried ?

Theres no need, me and dp have been maintenance free for over 30 years and are quite normal

OracleInaCoracle · 13/06/2011 17:47

I dont maintain, theres no need. Im not particularly hairy anyway but dh has no say in my head hair, so why should the state of my fanny bother him?

catgirl1976 · 13/06/2011 17:48

Well worried is the wrong choice of words....doesnt keep me awake at night but I personally find it unattractive.

TheFlyingOnion · 13/06/2011 17:49

well, the woman who wrote the article is bang on about the effect of a full brazilian on the male libido ime....

allhailtheaubergine · 13/06/2011 17:50

Who funds the website?

usualsuspect · 13/06/2011 17:51

The woman who wrote the article should be bloody ashamed of herself

What a load of hairy bollocks

giveitago · 13/06/2011 17:52

But what do you mean by grooming? And for yourself?

TheFlyingOnion · 13/06/2011 17:53

ashamed? Why?

The website is a load of bollocks. This is from a bodybuilding article, aimed at men AND women;

"What you need to do at this point though is be strong, and to ignore the hunger. Eat the amount you have set yourself as a target and don't go over. If you feel hunger pangs then see it as a sign that you are losing weight, "

It's all a load of arse, not worth getting het up over.

CrapolaDeVille · 13/06/2011 17:53

My DH trimmed his own the other night, it's horrific, it's the length of George Michaels facial hair. It makes me want to boak. It's commonplace amongst young men (16-25) to remove ALL body hair, which is vile imo.

worraliberty · 13/06/2011 17:54

Surely having a downstairs afro is like having oral sex with your knickers on? It's much more sensitive when it's trimmed right back or removed.

travellingwilbury · 13/06/2011 17:54

Well you learn something new every day , what with no pube topiary and no putting a ribbon in my hair every night I am surprised my dh has stayed with me all these years .

What a load of twaddle .

TimeWasting · 13/06/2011 17:55

I have a big hairy bush. I don't trim it. If DH trimmed his I'd laugh my fucking arse off.

catgirl1976 · 13/06/2011 17:55

I have a nice neat landing strip about 5cm wide and nothing else. DH just keeps things trimmed and tidy. I don't see it as anything more than moisturising or exfoliation or trimming toe nails - just part of normal stuff and I am very low maintenance

TheFlyingOnion · 13/06/2011 17:55

I think I'd be a bit Shock if I ripped off a guys pants and he had nothing...

last chicken in Tescos

CrapolaDeVille · 13/06/2011 17:56

TW....First I laughed, two days on it's not funny it's really eeeeewwwwww.

TimeWasting · 13/06/2011 17:57

If men are getting especially turned on by shaved vulvas it's probably a pavlovian reaction due to the amount of porn they're watching.

catgirl1976 · 13/06/2011 17:58

Oh god yeah...bloke with nothing would be vile....like a sad turkey

TheFlyingOnion · 13/06/2011 17:59

bollocks, TimeWasting, its sexy!! For both partners...

TheFlyingOnion · 13/06/2011 18:00

oh, and I wouldn't recommend shaving it all off - itches like fuck when it grows back....
