To ask about your pubic hair?

[Buchanon08]

Long married friend recently asked how I keep my pubic hair, it's been so long since we've had to worry about it I fear we might be doing it all wrong! So?

I want yo grow mine and dye it purple now. Thanks for the inspiring picture upthread.

Mine is in protective custody - it witnessed a crime and the the rogue plug hole hair has been searching for it ever since.

I am thinking of changing its identity and sending it to live its life out peacefully as a trainee sheep dog.

I think your friend was being unreasonable to ask!

I think this is a generational thing- I'm 20 and everybody I know removes all pubic hair. Whereas my mum (we're very close!) is horrified by this and only does her bikini line if she's going on holiday (she's 52). It has a lot I do with porn becoming more mainstream. A guy I lived with in my first year of uni shagged a girl who had a full bush and he took the piss out of her for it for the rest of the year. Very sad.

Anyone who sees this as being part of a wider cultural pattern - particularly Notevenamumyet I'd be really interested in anything you might have to say on this www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/2161251-Feminism-femininity-objectification-and-sexism-and-women-self-defining-by-others-opinions-of-their-appearance?

As for mine - I wear boyleg swimming costumes. Tried to get rid of it all once, in a general mad desire to purge all evidence of puberty, but it was so damn itchy I've just tried to not have it on display and otherwise ignore it ever since...

I'll check that thread out!
