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.

If you have no hair and shave, how often do you have to shave it? Once a day, week, month?

Just being nosy Grin

How silly. Why is it anyone else's business? Or even an issue. I couldn't bear not to have full waxing but that's my choice. And if the man in my life likes it, who cares?

from my perspective, I think the author is not wrong when (s)he says Apart from anything else, having a well trimmed downstairs will increase your chances of oral sex

Opinions will of course differ, and I rather like the look of a furry triangle, but I do agree a bit of a trim makes it nicer to nibble. Is there anyone who didn't know that?

This is only relevant to my DP, it makes no difference to me what anyone else does.

I feel angry at the mere thought that someone would judge my (natural) fanjo.

Have some respect people!

fotheringhay · 14/06/2011 13:54

Ha! That's silenced the "nature's not good enough" crowd.

Or maybe everyone's got bored.

Hello?

i'm just wondering when porn became better than real sex with a real woman? and who decided, was it the misogynist who wrote this artical? when did real sex start to have to live up to pretend sex? i think we're through the looking glass, folks.

i'm a hippy and my pubic hair is what you would expect. If pubes are so offputting for men, it's a miracle anyone was concieved at all before the brazillian became the 'norm'.

IntergalacticHussy · 14/06/2011 14:13

fotheringhay, love the name btw

fotheringhay · 14/06/2011 15:09

Yours is pretty good too, hussy. Fancy a snog?

Oops, I've turned into a hairy feminist lesbian.

And I quite like it.

I can remember when baldy fanjoes were DEFINATELY a minority "specialist" fetish, catered for in magazines called things like "Shaven Havens" Grin. My incredibly Aged Mama cackles hugely whenever this topic gets raised in t'meeja, and she draws unflattering comparisons between modern metrosexual men and the unfortunate Mr Ruskin.

Quite right about the pre-1966 vintage chaps finding it a v. odd stylee too. Just conducted a wee poll and 6 out of 6 old gimmers gentlemen friends think it is Just Not Right.

MrsKarbonara · 15/06/2011 10:53

Ow. Just been reading the Veet thread. Anyone? Just ow.

The one thought in my head all the way through was 'why?' Nearly all the posters were talking about varying elements of pain and discomfort.

Why do we do this to ourselves?

IntergalacticHussy · 15/06/2011 11:07

anyone named after Sandy Denny's band is worthy of more than a snog, fothers Blush or is it just a mary queen of scots thing? either way, come here you!

fotheringhay · 15/06/2011 15:10

Blimey! Aren't you going to Wine and Biscuit me first? (that means wine and dine)

I do love Fairport Convention, but actually the name comes from a retro tennis poster I once saw in a barn of "Miss Amelia Fotheringhay Potterton"

We've strayed off topic here haven't we? A bit like the stray pubes that we should all be PROUD of!

IntergalacticHussy · 16/06/2011 10:11

that's the most obscure name reference ever ! and for that reason you may have both Wine and Biscuit and indeed Brew for after Wink

I do no hair removal, other than a slight trim of the underarms to stop them getting caught in my gym shirt thing (not shaved, just shortened) and I do fiddle at chin hairs until the come out but that is because it is interesting rather than worrying about having chin hairs.

I think the idea that adult human females need to remove any hair at all in order to be attractive is bloody stupid and I try not to do bloody stupid things. It is bizarre if you really think about it, really odd behaviour.

DH would think I had lost my mind if I started doing this stuff, I was furry when I met him and I am furry now, if he didn't like it he didn't have to marry me.

Now pube topiary actually sounds fun - I wonder if I could get a rabbit shape or something. I did see one woman at my gym who often had interesting designs.
